Talk:Jíbaro

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Hi everyone, I erased the following data from the article:

"Jíbaro is also commonly used to denote the Shuar, groups of Indians living in the upper Amazon regions of Ecuador and Peru, but it is considered an insult."

This affirmation is a mistake. The Jíbaro people don´t consider this name as an insult. Jíbaro is the name this group is known in the Peruvian rainforest. Shuar is a group that belongs to the Jíbaro family (similar in tradition, not completely) but they lived in the rainforest of Ecuador. --Evelyn Zuñiga 12:11, 22 August 2006 (UTC)
