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)

[edit] Picture

We need a picture, people, I suggest we start searching for one.

---

a picture of what? a Jibaro?? it's people like Rita Moreno..Jennifer Lopez...Hector Lavoe upper class whites are fair skinned with light eyes and hair...many having reddish/blonde hair some jibaros are a mix of native & white(mestizos) while others are gitano & white hence the darker features. a child of a Jibaro & African is often called a Moreno because the look Moorish. a child of a Jibaro & white is seen as white. --Lupe

[edit] In Spanish

I really think someone should write an article of the jíbaro in Spanish, since it WOULD be more appropriate. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Garc1993 (talk • contribs) 15:49, 2 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Run away slaves

Thee only people tobe slave in Puerto Rico was indios(Tainos)..Africans & Muslims(arabs/gitanos) a white person of fair skin and hair would have never needed to "run" to the mountains to escape anything unless it was a crime. --Lupe —Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.32.114.15 (talk) 18:04, 19 January 2008 (UTC)
