Kanoê
The Kanoé people in the region of the Igarape Omere and south or west of Rondônia, in Brazil, near the border of Bolivia.[1]
Few Kanoe exist; in 2002, they numbered 95.[2] There are two bands of Kanoe. The majority live along the banks of the Guaporé River; and there is a single family of three people, uncontacted prior to 1995, who live on the Omerê River, a tributary of the Corumbiara. All struggle for physical and cultural survival in an area that is now occupied by lumbermen, landjumpers, and other agents who often threaten the Kanoe existence.[3]
