    AI note: expansion-2026-08: overview compiled with AI assistance as original prose from cited public sources (https://pib.socioambiental.org/pt/Povo:Awa_Guajá, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aw%C3%A1-Guaj%C3%A1_people). Population figure: 520 (2020, Siasi/Sesai and Funai figures, via Povos Indígenas no Brasil (ISA)). Awaiting contributor and community review. Sensitivity: Isolated Awá groups live in western Maranhão; keep location references at state level only and cite only broadly published facts. History includes recent violence by illegal loggers; treat with care and avoid sensationalism.
