Guaja

Guaja lies in the forested country of the middle Pindaré, a major tributary of the Mearim. The Caru joins the Pindaré here, below a stretch of rapids, and its valley is associated with Tenetehara communities. The Awá-Guajá are another Indigenous people of the forested Gurupi and Pindaré region, whose history includes movement eastwards from the Gurupi basin.
