Jê
The Jê people are a group of indigenous tribes in Brazil, primarily located in the central and eastern regions of the country. They speak languages that belong to the Jê language family, which includes several distinct languages. The Jê tribes have a rich cultural heritage, characterized by traditional practices, rituals, and a deep connection to their ancestral lands.
Historically, the Jê people have faced challenges due to colonization and deforestation, which have threatened their way of life. Today, many Jê communities are working to preserve their culture and languages while advocating for their rights and land. Efforts are ongoing to protect their territories from external pressures and to promote sustainable development.
