Brazil was created by three founding races: the Iberic European, the Tupi tribes and the Bantu African.
If any of these pillars is removed or attacked, Brazil is over.
We need to go back to our roots.

okay thank you for this bit of trivia boss

most brazilians have 0-10% indigenous ancestry
and the ones that have the most aren't tupi and live in the amazon

>>212421032
I mean that the tupi is one of the founding races, since they were the first to integrate. But yeah, you're correct.

>>212420958 (OP)
True, the genesis between the intrepid Lusitanian blood, which crossed the monster of Atlas, and the Tupi warrior race gave rise not only to a Brazilian cosmogony, but to the race of giants of Paulistânia, the bandeirante race of Tibiriçá, João Ramalho and Raposo Tavares, who through the strength of our ancestors we guarantee the rights over the new continent in a way that no European power could have.

>>212421032
The first bandeirantes, the people exploring the jungle, catching slaves, setting up farms, were tupi by blood and would've spoken tupi and they would've taught this to the following waves of European settlers for the first few centuries. The very first portuguese settlers married tupi women to get their native in-laws to set their ops running.

I only learned this like a year ago, it was pretty surprising how un-European the early colonization of Brasil was.

True, the newly arrived European could not have the necessary sense of direction to venture into the unknown hinterlands. The compass, the map, the guiding eye of the Bandeiras was the native man. Without him, who knew the cardinal directions by the orientation of certain tree branches; who knew how to find food in roots and treat unknown diseases; who could detect the imperceptible signs of an invisible enemy tribe; without this living miracle of instinct and observation, the deeds of the bandeirantes would have been impossible. There would be no São Paulo without the Guaianá arrows that bravely defended Piratininga, without the Tupiniquim of São Vicente, without the Kaingang in Raposo Tavares' war against the Spaniards of Guayrá and Tape, without the Puri in the discovery of Minas Gerais, without the Kadiwéu in the Monções to Mato Grosso. The Indigenous people were the protectors of the bandeirantes. The vast territorial expanse of Paulistânia is their doing.

At the same time, the Portuguese man, since the beginning of our history, was the most passionate for the land, as if he himself were native, caring for it as their own home and treating the Caipira as their brothers. Their love for our battles, for our culture, for the prosperity of the land reflect the deeds of the Bandeirantes. The Iberian, the most intrepid of spirits, from their primordial adventures navigating the seas, since the first settlements in the land of São Vicente, maintained a defiant stance against authorities, against the imminent foreign threat; patriarch of the bandeirantes; who fought for the self-determination of our people until the very last moment.

Today, our history, which is Luso and Tupi, is being erased from our memories, rewritten as if it never happened. And it will fall to the few, the virtuous sons, to silently celebrate our past through the generations, and in our hearts, where their deeds will continue to live for all eternity.

Darcy Ribeiro, in his work O Povo Brasileiro, analyzes five regional-cultural identities
>Caipira
Region: Paulistâna.
Origins: bandeirante settlers, later Europeans.
Culture: Rural, agrarian lifestyle, subsistence farming and cattle ranching.
Strong oral tradition, folk tales, music (moda de viola), and festivals.
Resilient and deeply connected to the land.
Darcy Ribeiro’s View: it represents the rural peasantry formed in the expansion inland, marked by isolation and cultural preservation.
>Caboclo
Region: Amazon
Origins: Mix of Indigenous peoples and Portuguese, some African influences.
Culture: River-based and forest-dependent lifestyle
Rich mythology, herbal medicine, and crafts.
Darcy Ribeiro’s View: it embodies the adaptation of Indigenous to colonial pressures
>Gaúcho
Region: Pampas of Rio Grande do Sul.
Origins: Mix of Spanish/Portuguese settlers, Indigenous, and later Europeans
Culture:
Cattle-ranching, horsemanship.
Strong regional identity.
Historically linked to the Farroupilha movement.
Darcy Ribeiro’s View: it represents a frontier culture, shaped by war, cattle economy, and a sense of regional pride.
>Sertanejo
Region: Northeastern dry hinterland.
Origins: Mix of Portuguese, Indigenous, and African influences in a harsh, semi-arid environment.
Culture: Resilient, adapted to droughts.
Cordel literature, forró music, and vaqueiro (rancher) traditions.
Deep religious (folk Catholicism) and storytelling.
Darcy Ribeiro’s View: The sertanejo is shaped by struggle, endurance, and a deep connection to the land despite its brutality.
>crioulo

Culture: Cosmopolitan, samba, Carnival, and beach culture.
Carioca identity (informal, playful).
