Metyktire
Encyclopedia
The Metyktire is a native people who live on the Menkregnoti reservation in the Amazon
basin. They are estimated to have about 87 members. They were discovered in May 2007 when two tribesmen entered a Kayapo-tribe village in the Menkregnoti reservation. The Metyktire form part of the Kayapo people
and speak an archaic version of the Kayapo language.
When discovered, they had not had any known contact with Western civilization. This was attributed to their location on the 12100000 acres (48,967 km²) reservation, in an area difficult to access due to dense jungle and lack of nearby rivers. The Metyktire are a subgroup of the Kayapo tribe, but had little to no recent contact with them until two members visited a Kayapo village in May 2007. The Kayapo believe the Metyktire formed when several families fled deeper into the jungle in the 1950s.
