Long before the Portuguese arrived in Brazil, the Indians have inhabited the territory.

The Portuguese were not good for the Indians because they came here enslaved them, forcing them to do heavy work.

As our country is very hot climate, here the Indians were accustomed to walk naked, discovered the bodies, decorating them with feathers and paintings.

The houses of the indigenous people were made of straw, dry branches, and received the name of hollow. The set of hollow formed a village or tribe.

To defend themselves, the indigenous people produce their own weapons. The bow and arrow are the best known, but there were also the hammer and the spear.

The Indians huntig, sweet potatoes, yams, squash, yams and corn, which they planted, as well as fish and meat that they hunted and fished.

The contact with the white man did to the Indians suffer much because they were severely beaten, harassed and killed, acquired diseases that also caused the deaths of many. But contact with the white led them to learn new habits. The whites taught them how was their way of life and the Indians taught their knowledge and habits.

Over the years, the Indian race was greatly diminished because the white man's contempt for them was intense. To prevent the Indian race should become extinct, the Brazilian government created an agency to serve the interests of ourselves, FUNAI - National Indian Foundation, which provides all the assistance they need.
