Irantxe

Irantxe is a name given to the Manoki, an Indigenous people of western Mato Grosso. Their historical villages lay between the Cravari and Sangue rivers, among the streams of the upper Juruena basin. The Manoki language has no close relationship to other known language families. Their country is a region of forest and rivers, where the names and sites of old villages preserve a record of occupation across the landscape.
