Boe

Boe is the self-name of the Bororo, whose traditional territory extended across central South America, from the upper Paraguay basin to the Araguaia and Cuiabá regions. Their villages were political units, often arranged as a circle of houses around a central men's house and ceremonial court. In the eighteenth century contacts with expeditions increased after gold was found near Cuiabá, and the Bororo faced new pressure on their land and villages.
