Aldeia Bona or Aldeia ApalaÃÂ, sometimes also known by its native name Karapaeukuru, is an ApalaÃÂ-Wayana village on the Eastern Paru River in the state of Pará in Brazil.
Aldeia Bona was founded in 1970 by the Fundação Nacional do ÃÂndio (FUNAI) in an effort to halt the socio-cultural disintegration that was taking place among the Apalaàand Wayana in Brazil. An airstrip was constructed by the Brazilian Air Force to ease access to the remote area.
Shortly after its creation, Aldeia Bona housed about 60% of the ApalaÃÂ and Wayana population of the region. The concentration of the population mostly served the interests of the Brazilian government employees stationed in the village, however, and did not adhere to the criteria the indigenous ApalaÃÂ and Wayana use for founding a village. Consequently, traditional settlement patterns, i.e. small villages of a few households spread out along a large area, reemerged after a while. Still, Aldeia Bona remains the largest ApalaÃÂ-Wayana settlement on the Paru River and continues to serve as the access point to the area.
In June 2016, Aldeia Bona had 267 inhabitants, of whom 157 were ApalaÃÂ, 105 were Wayana and 5 were Tiriyó.
