Orejón

"Orejon. A Witolo (Huitoto) people, the Orejón (Orejon-Koto, Koto, Coto, Oregón, Orechon, Payaguá, and Tutapi) are a small group of Amerindian people who today live along the Napo, Algodon, Yanayucu, Sucusari, and Putumayo rivers in the districts of Napo, Pebas, Putumayo, and Las Amazonas in the province of Maynas, Loreto, in Peru. Roman Catholic missionaries established missions along the Orejón in the 1680s, but the Indians abondoned them in the 1720s when they feared being made into slaves. Severe epidemics hurt them in the mid-eighteenth century, as did the rubber boom of the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. In 1925, the Orejón population exceeded 500 people. Like other tropical forest people, the Orejón support themselves in a subsistence hunting and horticultural economy and also perform migrant labor in order to raise cash for trade goods. Although indigenous traditions suvive among older Orejón, most tribal members under the age of 40 have adopted Western values and dress; they speak Spanish. The current Orejón population consists of approximately 300 people, of whom an increasing number are bilungual in Quechua or Spanish. Intermariage with neighboring Indians and mestizos is rapidly increasing" - Olsen, James S., "The Indians of Central and South America", New York, Westport, London 1991, S. 266
