The greater part of the Galibi-Marworno population
lives in the Uaça Indigenous Area (AI), which
has been homologated and officially registered, consisting
of 470,164 hectares, in the municipality of Oiapoque,
in the northern part of the state of Amapá. The
Uaçá River, the major reference point
for these people, flows into the same estuary as the
Oiapoque River, which demarcates the border between
Brazil and French Guiana. Several Galibi-Marworno families
reside in the Juminã Indigenous Area, which has
41,601 hectares, near the Juminã stream, which
flows into the Oiapoque River. The Juminã Indigenous
Area is located between the Uaçá and Galibi
indigenous areas, and also has as its northern boundaries
the Uaçá and Oiapoque rivers.
