Tucuna

The range of the Tucuna Indians is hard to determine. It is known, however, that they sustain themselves by hunting, fishing, farming, and gathering. They are known for their ten-foot blowguns, masks, and highly effective dart poison. They first made contact with Europeans in 1641. They believe that this contact angered their gods, so they make many sacrifices and practice many religious rituals. Little else is known about this tribe.
