Shiriana

For the language, see Shiriana language.

The Shiriana (sometimes called the Xiriâna or Bahuana[1]) are a Native American tribe of Brazil with a current population of approximately 1,000. They speak the Shiriana language, 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.
