Apalai
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A native nation of Brazil's Amazonia. They were sedentary slash and burn farmers, necessitating periodic relocation as soil became exhausted, but also hunters and gatherers. They spoke a Carib language and in the 20th century their subsistence shifted towards artisan work as they attempted to adapt to modern Brazil. In 1993, they numbered 450.
