Tribes from Amazon

Based on archaeological evidence of an excavation in the Pedra Pintada cave in the state of Roraima, the Amazon region was inhabited at least 11,200 years before the arrival of the Portuguese.
Some groups like the Amanayé (who speak Tupi-Guarani), the Apinayé (who speaks Jê), the Apurai (who speaks Aruák) and the Aparai (who speak Karib) lived there when the Europeans first arrived.

According to the census of the Brazilian Institute of Geography and Statistics (IBGE) conducted in 2010, there are 896,917 indigenous people in Brazil, distributed in 239 communities, living in 689 Indigenous Lands and urban areas. They speak approximately 150 different languages.
On the upper Negro River, 8 hours by speedboat from Novo Airão, are the Waimiri-Atroari. They live in 30 villages distributed over an area of ​​6,375 acres delimited by the Brazilian federal government. They all have bilingual schools, grow traditional cultures and raise chickens, rabbits, pigs, turtles, fish and cattle. Visitation is restricted and requires the authorization of the local population
