Maneteneris

Maneteneris are a tribe of South American Indians inhabiting the region of the upper Purús River, and between it and the Juruá, in northwestern Brazil. They manufacture cotton cloth, and have iron axes and fish hooks. The men wear long ponchos, the women sacks open at the bottom. The Maneteneris are essentially a waterside people. Their cedarwood canoes are very long and beautifully made.
