The Aparai or Apalai are an indigenous people of Brazil, who live in Amapá and Pará states.

[3] They were sedentary slash-and-burn farmers, necessitating periodic relocation as soil became exhausted, but also hunters and gatherers.

They spoke a Carib language and in the 20th century their subsistence shifted towards craftwork as they adapted to modern Brazil and the cash economy.

They have been known by Apalai, Appirois, Aparathy, Apareilles, Apalaii, Aparis and Apalaís.

[1] Most settlements are small except for Aldeia Bona which was founded by FUNAI to concentrate the population of the Apalaí and Wayana.
