The Ka'apor are an indigenous people of Brazil. They live on a protected reserve in the state of Maranhão. They were the subject of a book by anthropologist Dr. William Balée in an exhaustive study of their ethnobotany lifeways and the historical ecology of the area they currently inhabit. They live in a heavily deforested area of Pre-Amazonian forest, but have managed to protect the forest within their designated reserve. There is a high degree of congenital deafness among the Ka'apor, and consequently most of the hearing community knows sign language. (See Ka'apor Sign Language.)

  • The Ka'apor are an indigenous people of Brazil. They live on a protected reserve in the state of Maranhão. They were the subject of a book by anthropologist Dr. William Balée in an exhaustive study of their ethnobotany lifeways and the historical ecology of the area they currently inhabit. They live in a heavily deforested area of Pre-Amazonian forest, but have managed to protect the forest within their designated reserve. There is a high degree of congenital deafness among the Ka'apor, and consequently most of the hearing community knows sign language. (See Ka'apor Sign Language.) Their forest reserve is under attack from illegal loggers, and in September 2014 the tribe took matters into their own hands when they attacked a group of loggers, tying them up, humiliating them before destroying the logs that had been extracted from the forest and burning the logger's lorry, before eventually setting them free.

  • Ka'apor är en etnisk grupp i delstaten Maranhão i Brasilien. Ka'apor bor i indianreservatet Alto Turiaçu i delstaten Maranhão i Amazonasområdet. Reservatet är på 530 000 hektar. Delstatens regnskogar avverkas i rask takt, både legalt och illegalt, och reservatet är också utsatt för avskogning, trots ett formellt skydd. De första nära och kontinuerliga kontakterna med vita och med de brasilianska myndigheterna påbörjades 1928 och har genom överföring av infektionssjukdomar minskat folkgruppens storlek. Det kan finns omkring 2 000 ka'apor, men uppgifterna varierar enligt olika källor mellan drygt 4´000 till knappt 1 000. Ka'aporspråket ingår i språkfamiljen Tupí-guaraní. Inom ka'apor har andelen dövhet bedömts vara hög, 1,4 procent, varför också ett teckenspråk är mycket utbrett beträffande ka'aporfolket. Trots att många ka'apor under 1900-talet har bytt livsstil och delvis integrerats i storsamhället, finns fortfarande många som följer en traditionell livsstil. Språket har också till hög grad bevarats inom den etniska gruppen. Ximborendá är en av ka'apors mer kända och största byar, av sammanlagt 18 byar i Alto Turiaçu. Forskning om Ka'apor har bedrivits av den amerikanske antropologen William Balée, som 1994 beskrev ka'apors levnadssätt och näringsfång i regnskogen. (sv)
