List of Huaorani people

This list contains members of the Huaorani tribe of Ecuador who are known for their connection with events surrounding Operation Auca.

Note: Many names have alternate spellings. This is because the Huaorani language contains phonemes that were unknown to those who first studied the language. The Huaorani did not have a writing system until after outside contact, which led to a lack of spelling standardization.[1]

Surnames are sometimes used to indicate one's father, but they do not appear to be commonly used in Huaorani culture.

Many dates are unknown because the Huaorani did not mark time for many years. Most dates are estimated by approximate ages during certain events, and a generation gap of about 20 years. Dates that have been verified are linked.
