The Pataxó Hã-Hã-Hãe are linked to several Indigenous peoples of the forested country of southern Bahia, including the Hã-Hã-Hãe and Pataxó. The valleys between the coast and the interior were home to communities with their own languages and networks of kinship. Colonial roads and cattle routes crossed these forests, bringing outsiders and conflict into lands already occupied by Indigenous peoples.
