Indigenous communities
Seven indigenous communities were set up in 1990, namely (Mirandela) Sacão, Cacimba Seca, Canta-Galo, Lagoa Grande, Baixa da Cangalha, Marcação, and Picos.
The Jesuit mission of Saco dos Morcegos was founded in 1667 by the Jesuit missionary João de Barros, and a newer mission church was later built by Father Francisco de Matos in 1701.[6] Today, it is an indigenous village known as Mirandela,[7] and is one of the four indigenous villages occupied by the Kiriri people in Banzaê.[8]
