Tucuna

 or Ticuna or Tikuna

South American Indian people living in Brazil, Peru, and Colombia. Traditional Tucunas live in the rainforest of the northwestern Amazon basin, cultivating cassava and corn (maize), raising chickens, and hunting and gathering in the forest. They make baskets, pottery, and bark cloth and trade animal hides and handmade canoes for money and manufactured goods. They were once skilled hunters with blowguns, spears, and snares, but depletion of animal populations has altered old hunting patterns.
