Talk:Sápara

The current version* reads:

The Zaparos a tribe or group of tribes of South American Indians of the river Napo. They occupy some 12,000 m² between the Napo and the Pastaza. Their only industries are hammock plaiting and fishing-net weaving. Polygamy is general. They wear a long skirt of bark fibre.

I see several problems with this:

1. Since this is from 1911, it is probably not current anymore.
2. 12,000 m² is the size of a plot of land, which seems awfully small.

You were right, the info was very outdated. They are now practically extinct. BTW, it was square miles not square meters. Glendoremus 04:56, 28 January 2007 (UTC)Reply

An anecdote in this article parallels Weisman's The World Without Us. Common source or unattributed lift? Billbrock (talk) 06:59, 13 October 2008 (UTC)Reply

You are quite right, Alan Weisman's book should be listed as a source. By the way, thank you very much to whomever added the beautiful photograph.

Can anyone track down Weisman's source? Most of the information in this article is copied directly from that book, but the section in question is written with a lot of narrative liberty, and I question its accuracy. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 199.253.203.254 (talk) 17:12, 7 May 2011 (UTC)Reply
