Located in the municipality of Baía da Traição, in Paraíba, the village of Acajutibiró represents one of the most important centers for the preservation of Potiguara indigenous culture in northeastern Brazil. The name “Acajutibiró” originates from the Tupi term Akaîutebiró, which means “sterile cashew tree” (akaîu = cashew tree + tebiró = sterile or sour), a name given by the Potiguaras themselves before the arrival of the Portuguese colonizers.Located in the municipality of Baía da Traição, in Paraíba, the village of Acajutibiró represents one of the most important centers for the preservation of Potiguara indigenous culture in northeastern Brazil.
