The Gavião, also known as the Ikoro or Digút, are an indigenous people native to Rondônia, Brazil. Their population was around 220 in the 1990s. Their language, Gavião of Jiparaná, is a Tupian language in the Monde branch. Like the closely related Arara and Zoró, the Gavião traditionally lived on agriculture and hunting, but their traditional lifestyle was disrupted by rubber booms in Rondônia during the 20th century. They declined dramatically through epidemics and violence in the 1940s, and their population dropped below 100 people.

Indigenous Peoples Of Brazil
Indigenous peoples in Brazil ( pt, povos indígenas no Brasil) or Indigenous Brazilians ( pt, indígenas brasileiros, links=no) once comprised an estimated 2000 ethnic group, tribes and nations inhabiting what is now the country of Brazil, before European contact around 1500. Christopher Columbus thought he had reached the East Indies, but Portugal, Portuguese Vasco da Gama had already reached India via the Indian Ocean route, when Brazil was colonized by Portugal. Nevertheless, the word ("Indians") was by then established to designate the Indigenous peoples of the Americas, people of the New World and continues to be used in the Portuguese language to designate these people, while a person from India is called in order to distinguish the two. At the time of European contact, some of the Indigenous peoples, Indigenous people were traditionally semi-nomadic tribes who subsisted on hunting, fishing, hunter-gatherer, gathering and migrant agriculture. Many tribes suffered extinct ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Tupian Language
The Tupi or Tupian language family comprises some 70 languages spoken in South America, of which the best known are Tupi proper and Guarani. Homeland and ''urheimat'' Rodrigues (2007) considers the Proto-Tupian urheimat to be somewhere between the Guaporé and Aripuanã rivers, in the Madeira River basin. Much of this area corresponds to the modern-day state of Rondônia, Brazil. 5 of the 10 Tupian branches are found in this area, as well as some Tupi–Guarani languages (especially Kawahíb), making it the probable urheimat of these languages and maybe of its speaking peoples. Rodrigues believes the Proto-Tupian language dates back to around 3,000 BC. Language contact Tupian languages have extensively influenced many language families in South America. Jolkesky (2016) notes that there are lexical similarities with the Arawa, Bora-Muinane, Guato, Irantxe, Jivaro, Karib, Kayuvava, Mura-Matanawi, Taruma, Trumai, Yanomami, Harakmbet, Katukina-Katawixi, Arawak, Boror ...

Arara (Rondônia)
The Arara are an indigenous people of Brazil native to the state of Rondônia. They are closely related to the Zoró and Gavião peoples, and are distinct from other groups known as " Arara" to outsiders, including the Arara of Pará and the Kwaza. Their language is part of the Monde branch of the Tupian languages. The Arara were an uncontacted tribe until the 1950s. At the time, they were at war with the neighboring Gavião. Through the Gavião, the Brazilian government contacted the Arara and enforced a peace. Their numbers declined rapidly after contact; only 50 were alive in 1966. The New Tribes Mission introduced medical care, and the population rose to over 200 by the 1990s. The Mission formally converted most Arara to the Baptist Baptists form a major branch of Protestantism distinguished by baptizing professing Christian believers only (believer's baptism), and doing so by complete immersion.

Ethnic Groups In Brazil
Brazilian society is made up of a confluence of people of several different origins, from the original Native Brazilians, with the influence of Portuguese colonists and people of African descent. Other major significant groups include Italians, Spaniards, Germans, Lebanese and Japanese. Latin Europe accounted for four-fifths of the arrivals (1.8 million Portuguese, 1.5 million Italians, and 700,000 Spaniards). Brazil has seen greater racial equality over time. According to a recent review study, "There has been major, albeit uneven, progress in these terms since slavery, which has unfortunately not wholly translated into equality of income: only in 2011 did the black-to-white income ratio eclipse its 1960 level, although it appears to be at an all-time high. Education and migration were important factors in closing the gap, whereas school quality and discrimination may explain its persistence." Historic background The Brazilian population was formed by the influx of Po ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
