Shiriana

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Shiriana (sometimes called the Xiriâna) are a Native American tribe of Brazil with a current population of approximately 1,000. They speak the Shiriana language,[1] and are primarily animists. Most live in the Brazilian state of Amazonas, but there are small groups living as well in Venezuela, near the Demeni and the Rio Negro.
