Introduction / History

The Saluma are a First Nations people in the state of Mato Grosso of western Brazil.

What Are Their Lives Like?

The Saluma people are fighting to save their homeland from loggers. A Catholic priest spoke up on their behalf, and he was murdered. With such a small population, they do not stand much of a chance of retaining their land.

What Are Their Beliefs?

Though there is some Roman Catholic influence among the Saluma, they are basically shamanistic. They depend on their traditional gods rather than the God of Creation.

What Are Their Needs?

The Saluma people need to adapt to a changing world. They will eventually need education in new areas. This will take them out of their comfort zone.
