The Katukina live in two Indigenous Territories
(ITs). The Gregório River IT was the first to
be demarcated in Acre in 1982, comprising 92,859 hectares
in the municipality of Tarauacá. It is also inhabited
by the Yawanawá, who occupy its southern portion.
The Campinas River IT, demarcated in 1984 with 32,624
hectares on the borders of Amazonas and Acre states,
is located within the municipal boundaries of Tarauacá
(AC) and Ipixuna (AM). However, Cruzeiro do Sul is actually
the closest urban nucleus, situated only 55 kilometres
from the village. The Campinas River IT is cut in half
by the BR-364 highway (Rio Branco- Cruzeiro do Sul),
traversing the territory from east to west.
