- Maneteneris
-
Maneteneris are a tribe of South American Indians inhabiting the region of the upper Purus river, and between it and the Jurua, in north-western 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.[1]
