Who they are
The Apalaí are an indigenous people inhabiting northern Brazil, living primarily along the rivers of the Amazon in Pará in close coexistence with the Wayana. Known for their sophisticated basketry and rich oral tradition, they maintain their linguistic identity of the Carib family while sharing daily riverine life and the testimony of the Christian faith in their villages.
