Steamboat Travelling on the Amazons Passengers Tunantins Caishana Indians The Jutahi The Sapo Maraua Indians Fonte Boa Journey to St. Paulo Tucuna Indians Illness Descent to Para Changes at Para Departure for England November 7th, 1856-Embarked on the Upper Amazons steamer, the Tabatinga, for an excursion to Tunantins, a small semi-Indian settlement, lying 240 miles beyond Ega.
The inhabitants are chiefly Indians of the Maraua tribe, whose original territory comprised all the small by-streams lying between the Jutahi and the Jurua, near the mouths of both these great tributaries. They live in separate families or small hordes, have no common chief, and are considered as a tribe little disposed to adopt civilised customs or be friendly with the whites.
