The Fulni-ô are the only indigenous group in northeastern Brazil who have managed to keep their language - Ia-tê - alive and active, as well as a ritual they call Ouricuri, which is currently performed in complete secrecy. As well as the composition Rapé, which the tribe produces.
Currently, most Fulni-ô in Águas Belas speak Portuguese; mostly adults and older people use Ia-tê; children and young people use Portuguese more often. Although Ia-tê may be losing ground to Portuguese, it still plays an important role in Fulni-ô society.
The Fulni-ô currently live in the municipality of Águas Belas, in the interior of the state of Pernambuco, in an area known as Sertão, 273 kilometres west of the state capital Recife. The Ipanema River, a tributary of the São Francisco River, crosses the area where Águas Belas is located from north to south. In 1980 the municipality had 37,057 inhabitants, of whom 11,714 lived in the town proper and 25,343 in the rural area - including the indigenous village.
