The Patamona are an Amerindian people native to the Pakaraima Mountains of Guyana and northern Brazil.[2] They speak a Cariban language, Kapóng, and have often been referred to interchangeably as Akawaio or Ingariko. Patamona are considered a sub-group of Kapon people.[3]
There are about 5,000 living members of this and closely related ethnic groups in Guyana.[2] A 1990 population estimate for Guyana was 5500. According to FUNASA, Brazil had 120 Patamona in 2010. They were recognized as a distinct ethnic group in Brazil since 2005.[4]: 19
