'''Kutari River''', also called ''Cutari Rivier'', ''Kutari Creek'' or ''Cutari Creek'', is a small river on the southeastern border of [Guyana](/source/Guyana) and the southwestern region of [Suriname](/source/Suriname). The location of the river is part of the disputed [Tigri Area](/source/Tigri_Area) in the extreme South East region of Suriname.[Rand McNally, ''The New International Atlas'', 1993]
The river has its source in the [Acarai Mountains](/source/Acarai_Mountains) that border [Brazil](/source/Brazil).[Ewan W. Anderson, International Boundaries: A Geopolitical Atlas, [https://books.google.com/books?id=E7-menNPxREC&pg=PA354 Guyana], page 37, {{ISBN|9781579583750}}, 2003] Together with the [Sipaliwini River](/source/Sipaliwini_River) the Kutari flows out in the [Coeroeni River](/source/Coeroeni_River), where the village of [Kwamalasamutu](/source/Kwamalasamutu) is within ten kilometers eastwards as the crow flies.[Dr. Eithne B. Carlin, [https://web.archive.org/web/20200808213558/https://bukubooks.wordpress.com/amerindians/ Indianen in Suriname] {{in lang|nl}}, Talen en Culturen van Indiaans Amerika (TCIA) / Leiden University Centre for Linguistics (LUCL)] To the north, the Kutari and the Coeroenie successively form the rivers on the eastern border of the Tigri Area.[Kevin H. De Cuba, Department for Sustainable Development (DSD) / The Organization of American States (OAS), Towards Sustainable Energy production and use in the lands inhabited by the Trio and Wayana peoples in the Suriname-Brazil border, [https://www.oas.org/dsd/Working%20Documents/english/Kevin_de_Cuba_Renewable_Energy_Assessment_Kwamalasamutu_Suriname.pdf 4.3.1 Micro hydro power in Kwamalasamutu], page 52, 2003 {{in lang|nl}}] According to [Guyana](/source/Guyana) and the [United Kingdom](/source/United_Kingdom), this is the frontier of both countries; according to Suriname the border must be drawn at the [New River](/source/New_River_(South_America)).
