History
In the 16th century, Aguano first encountered the
Jívaro people killed off much of the tribe. Surviving members of the Aguano proper, Cutinana, and Maparina peoples joined together to form what became known as the Aguana people.[6]
In the 19th century, the Aguano lived near
Santa Cruz at the lower banks of the Huallaga River. As they became more acculturated into Spanish Peruvian society, they adopted the name Santacrucinos.[2]
