The last of the Juma - La Prensa Latina Media

The last of the Juma 1 minute read By Carlos Meneses Sánchez São Paulo, Feb 24 (efe-epa).- Aruká Juma’s death from Covid-19 complications last week marked the end of a generational line for his indigenous group in the Brazilian Amazon. The mantle for carrying the Juma tribe’s traditions into the future falls to his three daughters, the only surviving members of a community that in the 18th century had a population of between 12,000 to 15,000. No-one knows exactly how old Aruká was at the time of his death. Official records have him down as 86, but his close associates insist he was over 100.

Aruká Juma, the last male member of the Juma tribe.Gabriel Uchida / Kanindé Aruká Juma, a native Brazilian, was aged between 86 and 90 when he died from complications caused by coronavirus on Wednesday in an intensive care unit (ICU) in a hospital in Porto Velho, a city located in the upper Amazon River basin, and 120 kilometers by road and two hours by boat from his village. His death, just like the 1,150 other Covid-19 fatalities registered that day across Brazil, was a tragedy for his next of kin. But Aruká was also the last male from the Juma people, a living memory of ancestral wisdom and a survivor of an attempt to wipe out his kind. The three daughters he leaves behind are now the only ones left from a people who counted on between 12,000 and 15,000 members in the 18th century.
