    Default Where are the Brazilian Indians?

    Unfortunately the white men took over Brazil and send the Indians away... It's a big problem in your country right? But are they still everywhere or just in Amazonas? Where else I could find the first habitants of Brazil?

    Indians now are less than 0.2% of the brazilian population. You still can find some groups around Brazil but not much...
    Some cities in Brazil has Indians living there like Sao Gabriel da Cachoeira (AM), Uiramuta (RR) Normandia (RR) Santa Rosa dos Puros (AC) Baia da Traicao (PB) Pacaraima (RR) Benjamin Constant do Sul (RS) Sao Joao das Missoes (MG) Japora (MS).....

    The rest of the Indians belongs to the Tupi Guarani tribes, and they are located in the Amazon State.

    Unfortunately, all the loggers and illegal sawmills are moving in on some of the last isolated tribes
    of the Brazilian Amazon. Very said if you think about it. Somewhat like what happened in the united states.
    Extermination of any people, be it by starvation, relocation or simply murder is not right!

    Most of the native inhabitants of Brazil which are the Indians were killed during the European Settlement. Also, some of those who survived were assimilated in the Brazilian population.

    The Kayapo Indians are a local tribe that inhabit land on both sides of the Xingu River in the state of Para, Brazil on the Central Brazilian Plateau. There are 9 Kayapo villages that are scattered throughout the territory.

    There are many tribes in Brazil. Some of them are quite isolated from other people where as others are very visible and active in urban society. The most known of these tribes are the Kayapo and the Yanomami.

    Some Amazonian tribes remain uncontacted by the outside world.

    Illegal loggers and cattle ranchers are invading their land and bringing disease. They won’t survive unless this stops.
