The Suruí are an indigenous people of Brazil who live in the state of Pará. They are a different people than the Suruí do Jiparaná.^[2]

The Suruí are also known as the Sororós,^[1] Aikewara, Akewara, and Akewere people.^[2]

The Suruí do Pará language belongs to Subgroup IV of the Tupi-Guarani language family. It is written in the Latin script, and literacy rates in the language are extremely low.^[2]

First prolonged contact with the modern world came in the late 1960s. The tribe was decimated by disease. In 1960, they experienced an influenza epidemic, followed by a smallpox epidemic in 1962. The Suruí fled their homeland due to attacks by the Xikrin people.^[1]
