Kulumuli, also known by the name Twenkë, is a Wayana village situated on an island in the Lawa River in French Guiana.
Twenkë chose the French side and founded a village on the right riverbank of the Lawa River.
[4][5] In 1973, the Alsatian Jean-Paul Klingelhofer was sent by the French authorities to Kulumuli to establish a school and to work as a teacher.
When he died in the late 1990s, he ordered his fellow villagers to cross the river and join Kulumuli.
[8] Kulimuli lies about 10 km (6.2 mi) downstream the Lawa River from the village of Antecume Pata and 4.5 km (2.8 mi) upstream the Lawa River from the village of Kawemhakan in Suriname.
