Kwaza

The Kwaza, also called Koaiá, are a people of the high rainforest in southern Rondônia, once settled along the São Pedro and Taboca rivers and the headwaters of the Pimenta Bueno. Semi-nomadic slash-and-burn cultivators, they lived, intermarried and feuded with the Aikanã, Kanoê and Tuparí, and their language is an isolate unrelated to any neighboring tongue.
