Introduction
The Xetá were the last ethnic group in the State of Paraná to have contact with the national society. In the 1940s, colonization fronts invaded their territory, drastically reducing it. Towards the end of the 1950s, the Xetá were virtually extinct. Today there are eight survivors, scattered in the States of Paraná, Santa Catarina and São Paulo.
