Not verified

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:

Since this is from 1911, it is probably not current anymore.
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You were right, the info was very outdated.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]

The World Without Us

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. Das Baz, aka Erudil 19:05, 9 January 2009 (UTC) 19:01, 9 January 2009 (UTC) P.S. This article should be translated into Spanish and go into the Spanish Wikipedia. Das Baz, aka Erudil 19:05, 9 January 2009 (UTC)

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]
