The Krahô (/ˈkrɑːh/, Portuguese: Craós) are an indigenous Timbira Gê people of northeastern Brazil. The Krahô historically inhabited a portion of modern Maranhão along the Balsas River, but were pushed west by pioneer settlement and cattle farmers.[1][2] Currently, the Krahô live on the Terra Indígena Kraolândia reservation in Tocantins.

The Krahô have historically been seminomadic, practicing hunting and gathering and shifting cultivation.[3]
