On 12 January 1975, the 79 surviving members of the tribe were transferred by the government to the indigenous reserve Xingu National Park, and forced to live in neighborly proximity with former enemies, under state supervision.[5] A working team from the Escola Paulista de Medicina examed 27 of the 29 newcomers, adults over 20 years old. The average height was 1.67m, which corresponded to the average height of those from the Jê group, a little taller than the Indians from Alto Xingu.
