TheTembé, alsoTimbé andTenetehara, are anindigenous people of Brazil, living along theMaranhão andGurupi Rivers,[2] in the state ofAmazonas andPará.[1] Their lands have been encroached and settled by farmers and loggers, who do so illegally, and the Tembé are working to expel the intruders from their territories.[1]
The Tembé call themselves Tenetehara, which means "people," or more specifically the Tenetehara people, of which the Tembé are the western subgroup and theGuajajara are the eastern subgroup. "Tembé" is thought to come from a neighboring tribe's word,timbeb, which means "flat nose."[3]
