The Terena people are a Brazilian indigenous people that originally inhabited the northeastern region of the Paraguayan Chaco west of the Paraguay River in the mid-nineteenth century. However, they presently reside mainly in the municipalities of Aquidauana and Miranda within the Brazilian state Mato Grosso do Sul, as well as Mato Grosso and São Paulo.[1] This region is generally referred to as the Aquidauana-Miranda region, and geographically lies between 20° and 22° S and 54° and 58° W.[2] The Terena people span numerous indigenous areas including approximately twenty-nine villages. As a result of conflict with colonial powers, the Terena people gradually migrated to their Brazilian territory where they remain today. The Terena are one of four Guaná subgroups that relocated, alongside the Exoaladi, Layana, and the Kinkinau.
