Introduction / History

There are several small tribes that combined make up the Arara do Rio Amonia group. Even then, their numbers are small.


What Are Their Lives Like?

The Arara do Rio Amonia live in an area owned by the Brazilian military. They have few opportunities for hunting and they fish mainly in the summer. Their staple food is casava, which they also eat in the form of flour. They also brew caicuma, a beverage made from casava for festivals and social gatherings.
Traditionally the Araro do Rio Amonia practiced polygamy, where a man could have more than one wife. Today each man can only have one wife. They give Portuguese names to their children. They struggle to have adequate education and health care.
