The '''Juris''' were a tribe of [[South American Indigenous people]], formerly occupying the country between the rivers [[Ica River|Ica]] (lower [[Putumayo]]) and [[Yapura River|Yapura]], north-western [[Brazil]]. In ancient days they were the most powerful tribe of the district, but in 1820 their numbers did not exceed 2000. Owing to inter-marrying, the Juris are believed to have been extinct for half a century. They were closely related to the [[Passes]], and were like them a fair-skinned, finely built people with quite European features.
