List of Waorani people

This list contains members of the Waorani tribe of Ecuador who are known for their connection with events surrounding Operation Auca.

Many names have alternative spellings, because the Waorani language contains phonemes that were unknown to those who first studied the language. The Waorani did not have a writing system until after outside contact, which led to a lack of spelling standardization.

Surnames are sometimes used to indicate one's father, but they do not appear to be commonly used in Waorani culture.

Many dates are unknown because the Waorani did not mark time for many years. Most dates are estimated by approximate ages during certain events, and a generation gap of about 20 years. Dates that have been verified are linked.
