Amanayé is the self-denomination
of the Indians who live on the Upper Capim River,
in the State of Pará. The name supposedly
means 'association of people', and appears in
sources as Manajo and Amanajo as well. Part of
the Amanayé may have taken the name of
Ararandeuara, in reference to the igarapé
(small Amazon waterway) near which they live.
