Amanayé

The Amanayé (Amanayé/Amanaié or Ararandeuara/Araradeua) are a self-denomination Tupi-Guaranian people of Native South American nation of Brazil's Amazon basin. Residents of northeastern Brazil, they live between the cities of Belém and Brasília in the state of Pará, near the municipality of São Domingos do Capim. The name Amanayé supposedly means 'association of people', and appears in sources as Manajo and Amanajo as well. Part of the Amanayé may have taken the name of Ararandeuara, in reference to the igarapé (small Amazon waterway) near which they live. Sedentary farmers, hunters and gatherers, they speak Tupi and live on the Upper Capim River (between two water courses, Ararandeua and Surubiju), in the State of Pará.
