Gê peoples

are the people who spoke Ge languages of the northern South American Caribbean coast and Brazil, their society is or was highly egalitarian and anti-authoritarian, because of which they resisted the Incas as well as the Spaniards. In Brazil the Gê were found in Rio de Janeiro, Minas Gerais, Bahia, Piaui, Mato Grosso, Goias, Tocantins, Maranhao, and as far south as Paraguay.

They included the Timbira, the Kayapó, and the Suyá of the northwestern Gê; the Xavante, the Xerente, and the Akroá of the central Gê; the Karajá; the Jeikó; the Kamakán; Maxakalí; the Guayaná; the Purí (Coroado); the Bororo (Boe); and others. The southern Gê are sometimes called the Kaingang.
