The Rio Omerê Indigenous Territory is an indigenous territory for isolated indigenous peoples in Rondônia, Brazil. The territory consists of 26,000 hectares of forest on the Omerê River^[1] and is home to the Kanoê and Akuntsu tribes. Both tribes were the victims of severe massacres by cattle ranchers in the 1970s and 1980s.^[2][3] As of 2016^[update], the Akuntsu number just four individuals and the Rio Omerê Kanoê five.^[4][1] The two tribes are separate peoples speaking mutually unintelligible languages, but are linked by marriage.^[1] Several loggers and cattle ranchers also remain in the territory despite attempts to eject them and continue to pose a threat to its indigenous inhabitants.^[5]
