The Arara people, also called Arara do Pará are an
indigenous people of Brazil, living in the state of
Pará,
Brazil. They are known for both their prowess in warfare and trophy-keeping practices, as well as their ability to interact with and accommodate non-native peoples. They maintained a nomadic existence and frequently intermarried with other tribes.[1] The largest Arara settlement is Laranjal village.
History
The Arara have been in contact with non-native peoples since the 1850s. They had peaceful encounters with outsiders along the
Xingu and
Iriri Rivers. From 1889 to 1894, they were harassed by rubber tappers.[3]
