The Kawahiva, formerly called the Rio Pardo Indians, are an uncontacted indigenous tribe who live near the city of Colniza in Mato Grosso, close to the Rio Pardo in the north of Mato Grosso, Brazil. They are usually on the move and have little contact with outsiders.

The Kawahiva are a small group of uncontacted Indians living in Brazil’s Amazon rainforest. They are the survivors of numerous genocidal attacks. Similar atrocities have wiped out many tribes in the region over the last century.

For decades, Survival has been campaigning for the Kawahiva’s territory to be fully recognized so they can not only survive but thrive, and live in the way they choose. In the Brazilian Amazon, the uncontacted Kawahiva Indigenous people are fighting for their survival.
