The current version* reads:
- The Zaparos a tribe or group of tribes of South American Indians of the river Napo. They occupy some 12,000 m² between the Napo and the Pastaza. Their only industries are hammock plaiting and fishing-net weaving. Polygamy is general. They wear a long skirt of bark fibre.
I see several problems with this:
- Since this is from 1911, it is probably not current anymore.
- 12,000 m² is the size of a plot of land, which seems awfully small.

You were right, the info was very outdated. They are now practically extinct. BTW, it was square miles not square meters. Glendoremus 04:56, 28 January 2007 (UTC)
