The Tembé, also Timbé and Tenetehara, are an indigenous people of Brazil, living along the Maranhão and Gurupi Rivers,[2] in the state of Amazonas and Pará.[1] Their lands have been encroached and settled by farmers and loggers, who do so illegally, and the Tembé are working to expel the intruders from their territories.[1]
This article needs attention from an expert in Ethnic groups. The specific problem is: describe the legal or ethical principle by which the farmers are possessing the land “illegally”. WikiProject Ethnic groups may be able to help recruit an expert. (November 2017)
Name
[edit]The Tembé call themselves Tenetehara, which means "people," or more specifically the Tenetehara people, of which the Tembé are the western subgroup and the Guajajara are the eastern subgroup. "Tembé" is thought to come from a neighboring tribe's word, timbeb, which means "flat nose."[3]
Language
[edit]Tembé people speak the Tembé language, a Tupi-Guarani language. It is mutually intelligible with the Guajajára language.[2]
