ThePataxó are anindigenous people inBahia,Brazil, with a population of about 11,800 individuals. They once spoke thePataxó language, but now speakPortuguese and a revitalized version of the Pataxó language called Patxohã.[2] The Pataxó's territory is part of a wider region traditionally inhabited by the group. The region was mainly converted into private farms by settlers who persecuted the Pataxó, and in 1961, they were expelled from the largest remaining forest and integrated into the dominant society, losing their indigenous identity and settling in cities. Others moved to coastal areas, forming new indigenous villages, including Coroa Vermelha, founded in 1972 and now home to approximately 6,000 people. In 1998, a group of Pataxó women created the Jaqueira Reserve, which comprises 827 hectares in the Environmental Protection Area of the Coroa Vermelha Indigenous Territory in South Bahia, where they operate a community-based cultural identity andecotourism project, the Associação Pataxó de Ecoturismo, which employs indigenous families.[3]
