Kwazá people historically lived with the Aikanã, Kanoê, Tuparí, Sakurabiat, Salamãi, and other groups, that were culturally similar, even though their languages were not all mutually intelligible. These groups intermarried, battled with each other, and joined in festivals.[1]
The Kwazá were forced off their traditional homelands by ranchers after the construction of BR-364 in the 1960s.[1]
