Omaguas
The Omaguas, Umanas, or Cambevas, ("flat heads") is a tribe of South American Indians of the Amazon valley. Fabulous stories about the wealth of the Omaguas led to several early expeditions into their country, the most famous of which were those of George of Spires in 1536, of Philipp von Hutten in 1541 and of Pedro de Ursua in 1560.
