Brazilian Indians in Toy Art - Ethnic Groups

Brazilian Indians in Toy Art - Ethnic Groups
There is a universe of cultures within Brazil, which in fear, boredom and / or prejudice, few dare to know, the universe is composed of almost one million people, approximately 305 ethnic groups speaking 274 different languages, they have their own worldview, religion, unique knowledge of botany, ecology and sustainability ...

To eliminate the 'boredom', I’ve adopted the Tupi-Pop profile of my blogs, I decided to approach each race through Toy Arts, and just like the hundreds of Pokemon, Naruto characters, etc., indigenous ethnic groups will be subject of easy understanding to the * Otakus the Tupi-Pop.

Toy Art of ethnic groups, Orishas, legends and other Brazilians by Luiz Pagano - the best way to learn is having fun without stigmatizing the individual (if you want to know more, please contact us at contato@blemya.com )
From the discovery of Brazil by the Portuguese in 1500, Europeans began to have a major contact with the Tupi-Guarani tribes who were spread across almost the entire Brazilian coast. The Tupi-Guarani called the indigenous people of different languages as Tapuia - which in their language meant "enemy." The word ‘Tapuia’ was incorporated by Europeans and they started to believe that there were only two major indigenous nations: the Tupi-Guarani and Tapuia.

The Tapuias considered by Europeans as more primitive, difficult to catechize, and to conquer, so they were hard fought and exterminated - many of the peoples and tribes that existed have disappeared so completely that don’t exist even a single direct record of their existence.

In the nineteenth century, the German scientist Carl Friedrich Philipp von Martius traveled to a large part of Brazilian territory and proposed a division of Brazilian Indians according to a linguistic criterion. Based on this criterion, he created the ‘Gê’ group, which included tribes that spoke similar languages and who used to call themselves by utilizing the gê particle, meaning "father", "boss" or "ancestor". ' An alternative name, according to Martius itself, would 'cram' because in this group was also widely used to cran particle ("son", "Down") for the appointment of the tribes. Much of the ancient tribes tapuias was encompassed by the Gê group.

In the early twentieth century, anthropologists began to reject the name "Tapuia" and adopted the name "GES" for this other group of language families. In 1953, the Brazilian Association of Anthropology took the form "Ge" in lieu of "Gê". With the spelling reform, which advocated the use of "j" instead of "g" for the coming terms of Brazilian indigenous languages, the word "Gê" came to be spelled "JJE".

Because they have similarities in their origins is possible to classify the linguistic groups and linguistic trunks, the linguist Morris Swadesh has an important work of classification that besides the genetic lineage, took into account the method known as glottochronology, which is determined primarily from a basic vocabulary of a hundred or two common terms, which are the true cognates (words that demonstrate being derived from a single ancestral word). A rate of 81% of cognates indicate five centuries since the two languages are separated; 36% indicate approximately 2,500 years of separation; 12% some 5,000 years.

Unfortunately the native languages of indigenous Brazilian tribes are among the most endangered in the world - 300 years ago, living in the village of São Paulo de Piratininga was almost synonymous to speaking Indian language. Only 2 out of every 5 inhabitants of the city knew the Portuguese. So in 1698, the provincial governor, Artur de Sa e Meneses, begged Portugal to only send priests who knew "the general language of the Indians", because "these people can not be explained in another language"

For reasons like these, according to a classification made by the National Geographic Society and the Living Tongues Institute for Endangered Languages. The Indian languages started being replaced by Spanish and Portuguese in Brazil's border with Bolivia and Paraguay, in the Andes and the Chaco region, the researchers found. For example, less than 20 people speak Ofaié, and less than 50 are able to express in Guató.

Most countries were built on top of people destruction, Brazil is one of the few that still has an important chance to redeem identity and to learn from the remnant thus able to determine the classification of 20 ethnic groups, of which four the most important of them (Tupi, Ge Macro, Arawak and Carib) described below:

Tupi group Toy Art

According to linguist Aryon Rodrigues, this language, also known as Lokono, was spoken in some West Indian islands like Trinidad. When Europeans inciaram its colonization of the Caribbean, Arawak then divided and disputed the same place with the Carib, and went with one another that those had their first contact with the native population and their languages. As Karib, the Arawak name came to be used to designate the set of languages found within the continent and related to the Arawak language. Also according to this author, this set of languages was also called Maipure or Nu-Arawak and corresponds to what Carl Friedrich von Martius for more than a century called Guck or Coco.

One of them, located on the banks of the Envira river, near the town of Feijó, calls himself-Shanenawa and would be part of a clan Yawanawá people.

"Since time immemorial, the Yawanawá, the people of the jawbone, occupy the headwaters of the Gregório River, an affluent of the Juruá, geographically belonging to the municipality of Tarauacá, Acre.

However, in recent years, young indigenous leaders have encouraged the consolidation of the designation of Noke Kuin, Noke Noke Kui or Koi (in Portuguese, "real people") for the group. Internally, six other self-denominations are used which refer to the six clans in which the group is divided. It was observed that these names are almost identical to the names of some clans Marubo people, with which Katukina-called Pano present several other linguistic and cultural similarities.
