The Bora are an Indigenous tribe of the Peruvian, Colombian, and Brazilian Amazon, located between the Putumayo and Napo rivers.[citation needed]
Ethnography
The Bora speak a Witotan language and comprise approximately 2,000 people.[citation needed]
In the last forty years,[clarification needed] the Bora have become a largely settled people living mostly in permanent forest settlements.[citation needed]
The animist Bora worldview makes no distinction between the physical and spiritual worlds, and spirits are considered to be present throughout the world.[citation needed]
Bora families practice exogamy.[clarification needed][citation needed]
The Bora have an elaborate knowledge of the plant life of the surrounding rainforest. Like other indigenous peoples of the Peruvian Amazon, such as the Urarina,[1] plants, especially trees, hold a complex and important interest for the Bora.[citation needed]
Bows and arrows are the main weapons of the Bora culture used in person to person conflict.[citation needed]
The Bora have guarded their lands from both indigenous foes and outsider colonials. Around the time of the 20th century, the rubber boom had a devastating impact on the Boras, who suffered mistreatment during that time period.[2]
The Bora tribe's ancestral lands are currently threatened by illegal logging practices. The Bora have no indigenous reserves.[citation needed]
