The Jojiipéwaa (The People of Paradise)
The Jojiipewaa (jō-jee’-pay-wä) dwell in a virtual paradise, laden with coconut, fruit and palm trees, as well as other tropical srubs and foliage. A mystical place, the land of the Jojiipewaa is of a subtropical to tropical region. The Jojiipewaa live in a jungle utopia called the Jojiipé Heartland, where they gather in large villages consisting of houses made of woven reed walls and thatched roofs of reeds or large tree leaves. They travel their lands by foot, or by using the indigenous animals as mounts or draft animals to pull their carts. Along the coast, the vilages rely upon fishing and boats for gathering food and exploration.
