The Apurinã, also called the Ipurinã, Ipurinãn, Kangite, Popukare (endonym), are an Indigenous people who live near the Purus River in western Brazil[1] and speak Apurinã.
Their houses are long, low and narrow: the side walls and roof are one, poles being fixed in the ground and then bent together so as to meet and form a pointed arch for the cross-sections. They use small bark canoes. Their chief weapons are poisoned arrows. They have a native god called Guintiniri.[2]
