Description: Chief Paiaré, leader of the Akrãtikatêjês, sings traditional indigenous folk music in Timbira language... Recorded at the indigenous territory "Mãe Maria", Kaikoturé village, Bom Jesus do Tocantins, Pará, Brazil - May 2007 -------------- The name "Gavião" ("Hawk") was attributed to various Timbira groups by 19th century travellers impressed by their bellicose character. In the first half of the 20th century, the "Western Gavião" were distributed in three local groupings, named by themselves in accordance with the position they occupied in the Tocantins basin. One of these was called Parkatêjê (where par means foot, down-river; katê means owner; and jê means people), "the down-river people." Another grouping was called Kyikatêjê (where kyi means head), "the up-river people". The third grouping, which became known as the "Mountain group" due to their self-designation Akrãtikatêjê (where akrãti means mountain), occupied the headwaters of the Capim river. After a traumatic phase of 'pacification' taking place in the 1970s, in which more than 70% of the population was lost, they survived the crisis and reconstructed their way of life.
