Tucano people
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
"Tucanos" redirects here. For the Brazilian party whose adepts are known as "tucanos", see Brazilian Social Democratic Party.
The Tucano people (sometimes spelt Tukano) are a group of Indigenous South Americans in the northwestern Amazon, along the Vaupés River and the surrounding area. They are mostly in Colombia, but some are in Brazil. They are usually described as being made up of many separate tribes, but that oversimplifies the social and linguistic structure of the region.
