Sensitivity: Wauja is the preferred spelling; Waurá is the older Portuguese form found in most literature and museum catalogues and is recorded here as a variant rather than used as the primary name. Population figures reflect different methods (672, Siasi/Sesai 2020; a 2001 researcher census of around 270 in the main village plus 51 elsewhere) and are presented as such. No coordinates or precise village siting are given, and the location of the Kamukuwaká site is given only as published by the project partners. The sacred flute complex kept in the kuwakuho is named, its instruments and the publicly stated restriction described, and no interior content asserted, since the sources consulted do not document it. Medicinal and ritual plant knowledge appears only at the level of 'plants are used in healing contexts'; tobacco is named as ritually central but no preparation methods, plant parts, doses or plant-plus-method combinations appear, and none should be added. Ceramic tempering material, hammock and loom technique, and Wauja-language documentation projects are named as gaps rather than filled by inference from neighbouring peoples. No biopiracy case specific to the Wauja was found. Awaiting contributor and community review.
