The Caetés are indigenous people who have inhabited Lençóis Maranhenses for generations and lived there surrounded by a stunning landscape, made up of vast stretches of white sand dunes interspersed with crystalline water lagoons.
The Caetés have a rich cultural heritage and are known for their traditional music, art, and spiritual practices. They have a deep connection to the land and a strong sense of community and family. Like other indigenous people, they wear cocares, these traditional headdresses used by some people like shields to repel negative energies and bad spirits, and they also represent a connection between the warrior and the great spirit."
