Marubo+Tribe

The Marubo were encountered by Whites when the latter occupied the southwestern part of [|Amazonia] during the rubber boom, at the turn of the nineteenth and [|twentieth] centuries. Prior to this time a people named Marubo once occupied the village of Maucallacta at the mouth of Cochiquinas Brook on the Amazon River in Peru, but there is no firm evidence that they belonged to the same cud in 1912 because of lower prices for [|Malaysian] rubber, Whites began to abandon the Javari Basin. The powerful traders who previously lent merchandise to White and Indian rubber workers in exchange for latex were replaced by poor adventurers who could not maintain the commerce. Even these adventurers became rare, and from 1938 to 1950 the Marubo were not almost abandoned and forgotten by the Whites, a period that they now remember as a time of living by themselves, completely isolated.hi there
