Introduction
The Manchineri share with the Piro, in Peruvian Amazonia, the same Arawak language (from the Maipure branch) and much of their sociocosmological system, and can be considered groups that comprise or once comprised part of the same people. In Brazil, most of the Manchineri inhabit the Mamoadate Indigenous Territory, though there are still many families living in rubber extraction areas (seringais) in Acre, especially within the Chico Mendes Extractivist Reserve.
