  1. This narrative tells of an episode in the personal life of Tomás Nogueira, a speaker of Wa’ikhana (or Piratapuyo, East Tukano family), a highly endangered and still little described language. The Wa’ikhana people live in northwest Amazonia, in villages in the Alto Rio Negro Indigenous Lands (Brazil) and neighboring Departamento de Vaupés (Colombia).
