The Ticuna are a small group of indigenous people whose traditional homeland was located in the northern side of the Amazon-Solimoes Rivers in a tropical rainforest region shared by Brazil, Peru and Colombia. Cultivation was their economic mainstay, but hunting, gathering and fishing were important subsidiary activities. Traditional Ticuna settlements were each composed of one large communal house occupied by several families.
