The Shipibo occupy the central R&iacute;o Ucayali region of eastern Peru and its major western tributaries. The Shipibo collection includes information on the closely related Conibo and Shetibo. The Shipibo language belongs to the Panoan family. The Shipibo practice slash-and-burn horticulture and subsist primarily on plantains and bananas, supplemented by other crops and foraging. Now some Shipibo are producing rice to sell in regional markets.  The Shipibo are known worldwide for the complicated geometrical motifs with which they decorate objects. Women make ceramics, cotton textiles, baskets, and bead work, both for personal use and for sale to tourists.
