Kraho

The Krahô are a Timbira people of the Brazilian interior, speakers of a Jê language and known among themselves as Mehin. Their history includes movement through the country between the Tocantins and Maranhão as cattle ranching expanded. In 1814 Krahô fought the Põrekamekrá, another Timbira group; surviving members were later incorporated among them. Villages and kinship ties remained central to their social life.
