Lineage
Xavante
Also known as: Xavante, A'uwẽ, Xavante people, Xavante nation
An Indigenous nation of the Cerrado (Jê (Macro-Jê)), of the eastern Mato Grosso cerrado, between the Araguaia and Xingu headwaters. The Xavante continue traditional savanna management — seed-keeping, controlled burning, native-fruit gathering — and their associations are the natural Indigenous-led commerce partners for aligned listings in the biome.
The Xavante (A’uwẽ) are an Indigenous nation of the [[cerrado|Cerrado]] — Jê (Macro-Jê) — of the eastern Mato Grosso cerrado, between the Araguaia and Xingu headwaters.
Who they are
The A’uwẽ-Xavante are known for strong political organisation and a continuing economy of cerrado hunting, gathering and traditional agriculture surrounded by industrial soy. Xavante associations run native-seed and agroecology initiatives and have been prominent in defending demarcated land — a frontline case of the biome’s conversion pressure.
Why this entry
The Cerrado is being converted faster than the Amazon is being cleared, and its Indigenous nations are among the few land managers holding intact biome against that frontier. Naming the Xavante as a nation — not as background to a biome page — connects the [[cerrado|Cerrado]] directory to real Indigenous-led partners and credits the savanna knowledge the [[extractivism|native-fruit economy]] depends on. They stand beside the [[geraizeiro|geraizeiro]] and [[quilombola|quilombola]] communities as the biome’s traditional custodians.
