Anambe

The Anambé are an Indigenous people of the forested country west of the lower Tocantins. Their earlier territory included the headwaters of the Pacajá, a river that flows toward the Pará estuary south of Marajó Island. The waterways and forests between the Pacajá and Tocantins formed the setting of their movements and encounters with neighbouring peoples, long before the region acquired its later colonial settlements.
