| The lands occupied
by the Galibi basically correspond to the territory where
they were located in 1950. Having been demarcated, they
constitute the Galibi Indian Land (reserve) with a surface
area of 6,689 hectares, according to governmental decree
no. 1.369/E, of August 2, 1962. The administrative homologation
and publication of its confirmation in the Diário
Oficial (official press) dates from November 22, 1982.
Ariramba, a Karipuna village on the Oiapoque River, was
also included in the Galibi reserve and is located in
the proximities of the town of Taparabu. Their relations
with the Galibi is one of good neighborliness, but little
contact. |
