    AI note: expansion-2026-08: overview compiled with AI assistance as original prose from cited public sources (https://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barasana, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barasana). Population figure: c. 1,900 (Colombia; estimates range from a few hundred speakers to c. 1,950) (1993, Census figure cited in Wikipedia (es); year-2000 estimates in Wikipedia (en)). Awaiting contributor and community review. Sensitivity: Population figures vary widely between sources (hundreds to ~2,000); ritual knowledge around the He/Yuruparí complex is gender-restricted and culturally sensitive.

    AI note: audit-fix: the Vaupes holds a ceremonial complex whose viewing and handling are governed by rules internal to the communities. The Tukano and Baniwa profiles name it and refuse all detail. These two profiles did more: the Barasana entry gave the internal name of the instruments and signposted where a full description could be found, and the Yukuna entry listed instruments as belonging to the complex. Both now name that a restricted complex exists and describe nothing. The ethnographers remain cited, because attributing scholarship is not the same as reproducing what it contains.
