Introduction / History

The Krikati-Timbira are an indigenous people in Brazil.


What Are Their Lives Like?

The Krikati-Timbira have many festivals and they hold high value in their culture. Many of these are about harvesting food, but they almost always involve recreational events like log races.
Their lands have been invaded by cattle ranchers since the 1800s. Today the Brazilian government has recognized their territory, but there is always the risk of invasion by outsiders.


What Are Their Beliefs?

About a third of the Krikati-Timbira identify as Roman Catholic, but their hearts are usually set on traditional religious practices. Only a small number are Evangelical.


What Are Their Needs?

The Krikati-Timbira people need to set Jesus apart as King of kings and Lord of lords in their hearts and minds.
