    AI note: expansion-2026-08: overview compiled with AI assistance as original prose from cited public sources (https://bdpi.cultura.gob.pe/pueblos/murui-muinani, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Witoto_people). Population figure: 1889 (2017, BDPI / Ministerio de Cultura estimate for Peru; total Witoto population across Colombia and Peru is roughly 8,500). Awaiting contributor and community review. Sensitivity: Cross-border people whose majority population is in Colombia; profiled here because the Peruvian Murui-Muinanɨ are officially recognized as a distinct pueblo by Peru's Ministry of Culture. History includes rubber-boom atrocities; present neutrally.
