Introduction / History

The Arara region is comprised of an area between the Branco and Guariba Rivers in the Amazon rainforest of Brazil. They are also known as the Macaw people. During the 19th century the area that comprised of these people were overtaken by industrialists with the intention of exploiting the rainforest for the rubber and its products. This left the Macaw people with no rights to the land and their livelihood robbed by the invaders. The people in this region are in three villages near the river.


What Are Their Lives Like?

The Arara people are one of the poorest population in Brazil. The primary jobs of these people have been related to the rubber tapping, fishing and hunting. They also conduct trade between the villages.


What Are Their Beliefs?

There is no record of what are the beliefs of this people group. There is no indication that the Arara people have been exposed to the good news of the gospel.


What Are Their Needs?

These people need to put their hope and identity in the King of kings and Lord of lords.
