The Sikiana are an indigenous people, living in Brazil, Suriname, and Venezuela.[1]
The Sikiana in Brazil live between the Cafuini River and headwaters of the Turuna and Itapi close to border with Suriname.[2] The group in Suriname lives in Kwamalasamutu.[3] The group in Venezuela is probably extinct.[4]
The 1916 Encyclopaedia of the Dutch West Indies placed the Sikiana at the Trombetas River in Brazil, and said that they had a close relationship with the Salumá and the Tiriyó.[5]
