Kanoé people

Kanoé people

The Kanoé people in the region of the Igarape Omere and south or west of Rondônia, in Brazil, near the border of Bolivia.cite web |url=http://listserv.emich.edu/cgi-bin/wa?A2=ind9512&L=endangered-languages-l&P=205 |title=Endangered groups in Brazil |accessdate=2007-09-22 |authors=Nilson Gabas, Jr., Museu Goeldi, Belem, Brazil |date=1995-12-14 |work=Email memo |publisher=University Eastern Michigan]

Few Kanoe exist; in 2002, they numbered 95.cite web |url=http://www.survival-international.org/tribes/akuntsu |title=Akuntsu and Kanoê |accessdate=2007-09-22] 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.cite web |url=http://www.socioambiental.org/pib/epienglish/kanoe/kanoe.shtm |title=http://www.socioambiental.org/pib/epienglish/kanoe/kanoe.shtm |accessdate=2007-09-22]

Language

The Kanoe people speak the Kanoe language, though it faces extinction because of the dwindling number of native speakers and because those who do speak it have intermarried with other tribes who speak other languages.
