Kayapo people
The Kayapo (Portuguese: Caiapó (:kɐjɐˈpɔ)) people are indigenous peoples in Brazil, from the plain islands of the Mato Grosso and Pará in Brazil, south of the Amazon Basin and along Rio Xingu and its tributaries.〔 Kayapo call themselves "Mebengokre", which means
"people of the wellspring". Kayapo people also call outsiders "Poanjos".
==Location==
The Kayapo tribe lives alongside the Xingu River in the eastern part of the Amazon Rainforest, near the Amazon basin, in several scattered villages ranging in population from, one hundred to one thousand people.〔Dowie, Mark. Conservation Refugees: The Hundred-Year Conflict between Global Conservation and Native Peoples. The MIT Press. 2009. Chapter 15. 978-0-262-01261-4.〕 Their land consists of tropical rainforest savannah (grassland) and is arguably the largest tropical protected area in the world, covering 11,346,326 million hectares of Neotropical forests and scrubland containing many endangered species.〔Posey, Darrel A., Indigenous Management of Tropical Forest Ecosystems: The Case of the Kayapo Indians of the Brazilian Amazon. Dove, Michael R., & Carpenter, C., Environmental Anthropology: A Historical Reader. Blackwell Publishing. 2008. Part 1.1. 978-1-4051-1125-6.〕 They have small hills scattered around their land and the area is criss-crossed by river valleys. The larger rivers feed into numerous pools and creeks, most of which don’t have official names.
In 2010, there was an estimated 8,638 Kayapo people,〔 which is an increase from 7,096 in 2003.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.bbc.co.uk/amazon/sites/kayapo/pages/content.shtml )〕 Subgroups of the Kayapo include the Xikrin, Gorotire, Mekranoti and Metyktire.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.everyculture.com/South-America/Gorotire.html )〕 Their villages typically consist of a dozen huts. A centrally located hut serves as a meeting place for village men to discuss community issues.
