The Atikum, also known as Huamuê or Uamué, are an indigenous people of Brazil that live in Bahia and Pernambuco.
They have 20 villages within the Atikum Indigenous Land, and their territory is near Carnaubeira da Penha.
Known as the "civilized Indians of the Umã Hills," the Arikum sought federal recognition from the Brazilian government beginning in the 1940s.
Today Atikum people speak Portuguese. Formerly they spoke the Atikum language, a linguistic isolate.
