This article explores all of the available historic, ethnographic, and linguistic evidence concerning interfluvial Panoans known as Remo, one of the most important ethnic categories in Ucayali basin historiography.A review of the historical references to Remos from the late 1600s to the present led to the hypothesis that the term Remo has been used to refer to different peoples at different times.A careful evaluation of the available Remo word lists correlated with recent linguistic research corroborates that these word lists must have come from at least three different Panoan languages.Languages of two modern indigenous groups that have been considered Remo descendants (Iskonawas and Nukinis) were also found to be distinct from the available Remo word lists.The article illustrates the ways in which colonial historiography, influenced by riverine Panoans' and mestizos' views of their interfluvial neighbors constructed the Remos as a bounded and continuous ethnic unit
