Tucano (English spelling)
The Tukano, in the broadest sense of the word, are the people who live in the northwestern Amazon forests of Colombia in South America. They are divided into the Eastern Tukano and the Western Tukano, the former consisting of the Desana, Tukano, Pira-Tapuya, Huanano, Carapana, Tuyuca, Miriti-Tapuya, Yuriti-Tapuya, Cubeo and Barrasana peoples, and the latter consisting of the peoples living in the Caquetá River basin and in the Peruvian Amazon. Only the Eastern Tukano peoples are known ethnologically, and little is known about the Western Tukano.
