The **Pemon** or **Pemón** (Pemong) are [indigenous people](/wiki/Indigenous_peoples_of_the_Americas "Indigenous peoples of the Americas") living in areas of [Venezuela](/wiki/Venezuela "Venezuela"), [Brazil](/wiki/Brazil "Brazil"), and [Guyana](/wiki/Guyana "Guyana").[\[5\]](#cite_note-CNT-5) The Pemon people are divided into many dialects and traditions, which are **Arekuna**, **Kamarakoto**, and **Taurepang.**[\[4\]](#cite_note-every-4)

## People

\[ [edit](/w/index.php?title=Pemon&action=edit&section=1 "Edit section: People")\]

The Pemon are part of the larger [Cariban language](/wiki/Cariban_language "Cariban language") family, and include six groups including the Arekuna, [Ingarikó](/wiki/Ingarik%C3%B3 "Ingarikó"), Kamarakoto, Tualipang, Mapoyo and [Macushi](/wiki/Macushi_people "Macushi people")/Makushi (Macuxi or Makuxi in Brazil). While ethnographic data on these groups are scant, Iris Myers produced one of the most detailed accounts of the Makushi[\[6\]](#cite_note-6) in the 1940s, and her work is heavily relied upon for comparisons between historical and contemporary Makushi life.[\[7\]](#cite_note-7)

The Pemon were first encountered by westerners in the 18th century and converted by missionaries to [Christianity](/wiki/Christianity "Christianity").[\[5\]](#cite_note-CNT-5) Their society is based on trade and considered egalitarian and decentralized, and in Venezuela, funding from petrodollars have helped fund community projects, and ecotourism opportunities are also being developed.[\[5\]](#cite_note-CNT-5) In Venezuela, Pemon live in the [Gran Sabana](/wiki/Gran_Sabana "Gran Sabana") [grassland](/wiki/Grassland "Grassland") plateau dotted with tabletop mountains where the [Angel Falls](/wiki/Angel_Falls "Angel Falls"), the world's highest waterfall, plunges from [Auyantepui](/wiki/Auyantepui "Auyantepui") in [Canaima National Park](/wiki/Canaima_National_Park "Canaima National Park").[\[5\]](#cite_note-CNT-5)

In Brazil, Pemon live among other indigenous people near the borders of Venezuela and Guyana in villages within the Terras Indígenas São Marcos and Raposa Serra do Sol. There are 792 Pemon according to a 2014 estimate.[\[8\]](#cite_note-8)

The [Makuxi](/wiki/Makuxi "Makuxi"), who are also Pemon speakers, are found in [Brazil](/wiki/Brazil "Brazil") and [Guyana](/wiki/Guyana "Guyana") in areas close to the Venezuelan border.

## Lifestyle

\[ [edit](/w/index.php?title=Pemon&action=edit&section=2 "Edit section: Lifestyle")\]

The Pemon language and people have been extremely affected by tourism and historical events like the establishment of the Canaima camp founded by the Boulton family nearby the Canaima town, where the demographic concentration of Pemon people is established. Many Pemon people work in hotels and tourism. This deeply affected the tradition of the Pemon people, as they turned out to be a Catholic majority population, and left behind their ancestral language and belief, still, many Pemon people, known as "Chamanes" still practice the ancestral religion, mostly for healthcare.

## Language

\[ [edit](/w/index.php?title=Pemon&action=edit&section=3 "Edit section: Language")\]

[Pemon](/wiki/Pemon_language "Pemon language") (in [Spanish](/wiki/Spanish_language "Spanish language"): Pemón), is a [Cariban](/wiki/Cariban_languages "Cariban languages") language spoken mainly in [Venezuela](/wiki/Venezuela "Venezuela"), specifically in the [Gran Sabana](/wiki/La_Gran_Sabana "La Gran Sabana") region of [Bolívar State](/wiki/Bol%C3%ADvar_(state) "Bolívar (state)"). According to the 2001 census there were 15,094 Pemon speakers in [Venezuela](/wiki/Venezuela "Venezuela"). It is divided into three principal dialects, which are; Arekuna, Kamarakoto, and Taurepang.[\[4\]](#cite_note-every-4)

## Myths

\[ [edit](/w/index.php?title=Pemon&action=edit&section=4 "Edit section: Myths")\]

The Pemon have a very rich mythic tradition which is merged into their present Christian faiths. Pemon mythology includes gods residing in the grassland area's table-top mountains called _[tepui](/wiki/Tepui "Tepui")_.[\[5\]](#cite_note-CNT-5) The mountains are off-limits to the living, as they are also home to ancestor spirits called _mawari_.[\[5\]](#cite_note-CNT-5) The first non-native person to seriously study Pemon myths and language was the German ethnologist [Theodor Koch-Grunberg](/wiki/Theodor_Koch-Grunberg "Theodor Koch-Grunberg"), who visited [Roraima](/wiki/Monte_Roraima "Monte Roraima") in 1912.

Important myths describe the origins of the sun and moon, the creation of the _tepui_ mountains – which dramatically rise from the savannahs of the [Gran Sabana](/wiki/Gran_Sabana "Gran Sabana") — and the activities of the creator hero Makunaíma. Makunaíma is described as an individual or a group of brothers, sons of the sun _Wei_ and a woman made of clay. He goes searching for his father who had been captive of malevolent spirits. After finding his father, Makunaíma finds the "tree of the world", which he cuts down and the resulting stump becomes [Mount Roraima](/wiki/Mount_Roraima "Mount Roraima"). The falling of the tree caused a great cataclysm, with floods and fire, and humans were recreated by Makunaíma. Makunaíma also turned people and animals into stone that are a part of Pemon description of the natural world.[\[9\]](#cite_note-:0-9)

Missionary work among Amerindians has impacted Pemon belief; and _Jechikrai_ is the Pemon adaptation of Jesus Christ.[\[9\]](#cite_note-:0-9)

## "Kueka" stone controversy

\[ [edit](/w/index.php?title=Pemon&action=edit&section=5 "Edit section: \"Kueka\" stone controversy")\]

In 1999, Wolfgang Kraker von Schwarzenfeld arranged the transport of a red stone boulder, weighing about 35 metric tons, from Venezuela's Canaima National Park to [Berlin Tiergarten](/wiki/Gro%C3%9Fer_Tiergarten "Großer Tiergarten") for his "global stone" project. Since that time, a dispute had been ongoing of the Pemon trying to get the stone back, involving German and Venezuelan authorities and embassies.[\[10\]](#cite_note-10)[\[11\]](#cite_note-11)[\[12\]](#cite_note-12)

On 16 April 2020, the Kueka stone was finally returned to Venezuela.[\[13\]](#cite_note-13)
