The name Yawalapiti means "village of the tucum
palm trees" and is today used as a self-designation.
The "village of the tucum palms" would be the
most ancient location which they remember and is situated
between the Diauarum Post and the Morená reef (a
site near the confluence of the Kuluene and Batovi rivers).
The present Yawalapiti village is situated more to the
south, where the Tuatuari and Kuluene rivers meet, a place
of fertile land, about five kilometers distance from the
Leonardo Villas Bôas Post. |
