Wanám

Ethnic group

Wanám,, were a group of Amerindians once native to the region of southern Rondônia in Brazil. They lived on the Cautarinho, Sao Miguel and Manoel rivers near their confluence with the Guaporé. Around 1914 there were 300 Wanám. The rubber booms of the twentieth century destroyed the tribe because of the violence and diseases brought in by neo-Brazilians. The surviving Wanám went to live with neighboring groups Kabixí living on the São Miguel River. Although the Wanám people did not survive, their language did, at least among the Kabixí Indians.
