A member of an indigenous people of central Brazil, or their language belonging to the Macro-Jê language family.
From the Bororo endonym (the people's own name for themselves), of uncertain etymology within indigenous language families. The name was documented by Portuguese colonizers and early anthropologists in the 16th-17th centuries.
The Bororo people developed one of the most elaborate social organization systems ever documented—their villages are arranged in specific geometric patterns that reflect their cosmology, showing that indigenous knowledge systems were just as sophisticated as European ones.
