Sensitivity: Display names: Uwottuja / Huottuja (their own terms, increasingly used in their own political documents) alongside the widely known Piaroa. De'aruwa is a further self-term. 'Piaroa' is an exonym of uncertain origin and is not derogatory, but the self-terms should lead. Historical labels 'Quaqua' and 'Ature' derive from a colonial misreading that treated regional varieties of one people as three; record as historical error, not as names. Population figures conflict between sources reporting the 2011 Venezuelan census (19,293 vs 18,905) and older working estimates near 15,000; the conflict is stated, not resolved, and all figures predate displacement caused by armed groups and mining. Warime is described substantively as published ethnography describes it - purpose, timing, sponsorship, masks, instruments, social function - and no song text or chant is reproduced. Documented restrictions on who may witness certain phases are noted in the literature; the profile does not attempt to reconstruct those phases. Yopo (nua, Anadenanthera peregrina) is covered for its cultural role, history, specialist restriction and cosmological significance, with NO preparation method, plant parts, combinations or dosage given - a firm safety line applied to all plants in this profile including fish poisons and blowpipe poison. Warime masks circulating on the international ethnographic art market are noted as an unconsented situation. Textiles and pottery sections are explicitly marked as weak and gap-flagged rather than padded out. Awaiting contributor and community review.

'Piaroa' is an exonym of uncertain origin and is not derogatory, but the self-terms should lead. Historical labels 'Quaqua' and 'Ature' derive from a colonial misreading that treated regional varieties of one people as three; record as historical error, not as names. Population figures conflict between sources reporting the 2011 Venezuelan census (19,293 vs 18,905) and older working estimates near 15,000; the conflict is stated, not resolved, and all figures predate displacement caused by armed groups and mining. Warime is described substantively as published ethnography describes it - purpose, timing, sponsorship, masks, instruments, social function - and no song text or chant is reproduced. Documented restrictions on who may witness certain phases are noted in the literature; the profile does not attempt to reconstruct those phases. Yopo (nua, Anadenanthera peregrina) is covered for its cultural role, history, specialist restriction and cosmological significance, with NO preparation method, plant parts, combinations or dosage given - a firm safety line applied to all plants in this profile including fish poisons and blowpipe poison. Warime masks circulating on the international ethnographic art market are noted as an unconsented situation. Textiles and pottery sections are explicitly marked as weak and gap-flagged rather than padded out. Awaiting contributor and community review.
