Krahô

The Krahô (/ˈkrɑːhoʊ/, Portuguese: Craós) are an indigenous Timbira Gê people of northeastern Brazil. The Krahô historically inhabited a portion of modern Maranhão along the Balsas River, but were pushed west by pioneer settlement and cattle farmers.[1][2] Currently, the Krahô live on the Terra Indígena Kraolândia reservation in Tocantins.
