Secoya people

Secoya people

The Secoya people (also known as Angotero, Encabellao) are an indigenous ethnic group living in the Ecuadorian Amazon or The Oriente region of Ecuador (est. population 297 (1987 Vickers)), and in Peru (est. population 144 (1982 SIL)). They speak the Secoya language, part of the Western Tuconoan group. They share territory along the Shushufindi, Aguarico, and Cuyabeno Rivers with the Siona people, with whom they are sometimes considered a single population.

The Siona people are organized politically through the Secoya Indigenous Organization of Ecuador. They have been involved in a conflict with Occidental Petroleum over oil drilling in Block 15 of Ecuador. [http://forests.org/archive/samerica/takeongi.htm]
