The Caquinte Campa of Peru

The Caquinte Campa of Peru, numbering approximately 450 people, are No Longer Unreached. They are a small Kampa-branch Arawakan people tracing origin to the mouth of Peru's Pogeni River, from which 19th-century conflict with the Ashaninka drove them upstream to their present headwater communities, where many now also speak Ashaninka or Matsigenka. They mostly adhere to Animism and Caquinte is their primary language.
