The Sirionó are a group of foragers inhabiting an extensive tropical forest in northern and eastern Bolivia. Their subsistence depends largely on hunting, fishing, and gathering, in that order. They also practiced some plant cultivation. Traditionally they lived in bands under a headman with limited power in the community. These headmen or chiefs were chosen on the basis of their prowess as a hunter and warrior.
