Read the supporting source ↗ - Ocanxiu (Sutiaba)Explicit paired name country connection
Connection & source
Explicit paired name country connectionParagraph 40 explicitly identifies 'Ocanxiu or Sutiaba' among Indigenous peoples of Nicaragua's Pacific region. It supplies both the paired-name identification and a country connection, without requiring an inference from the Sutiaba place name. Inspection: Read title page and Representation and Participation of Indigenous Peoples, paragraphs 40–42, PDF pages 19–20. The association relies on paragraph 40, not population totals or general project commitments. Limits: The public version filename indicates December 2013; no present demographic estimate is claimed. This is a broad Nicaragua finding aid and does not map communal titles, municipal boundaries, or the full historical language range. The Penn DIA map catalogue was inspected but its map image failed to load; it is not substituted for an inspected map or counted as another geographic source.
Geographic context in a public 2013 assessment note; population context derives from the 2005 census. Reviewed 2026-10-21.
