Parakanã People
The Parakanã people are a group of about 1,300 people speaking a Tupi-Guarani language who are indigenous to a small region in Brazil between Pacajá and Tocantins. They practice slash-and-burn agriculture, with a small number of crops. Their staple crop is bitter manioc. Like other Amerindians in the region, they hunt large mammals. Cultural Practices and History Towards the end of the 19th century, the Parakanã people divided themselves into two distinct population blocs: Eastern and Western. This occurred as a result of a woman being captured during a raid, causing extreme conflict. The Eastern Parakanã settled in the upper areas of the Pucuruí, Bacuri, and da Direita rivers, while the Western Parakanã decided to migrate northwest, most likely near the Jacaré and Pacajazinho-Arataú rivers.

The Fundação Nacional dos Povos Indígenas (, ) or FUNAI is a Brazilian governmental protection agency for Amerindian interests and their culture. Original founding as Indian Protection Service In 1910, the Indian Protection Service (Serviço de Proteção ao Índio), or the SPI, was founded under the lead of Brazilian Marshal Candido Rondon. Rondon created the foundation's motto: "Die if necessary, but never kill." Drawing from his Positivism, Rondon led the SPI with the belief that the native Indians should be allowed to develop at their own pace. With state assistance and protection, Indians would eventually integrate into modern society. The SPI then began its mission to "pacify" Indian communities by setting up posts in their territories to foster communication and protection. Efforts were initially met by opposition and hostility from Indian groups; there were reports of SPI agents being attacked and shot by arrows. During the 1950s and 1960s, following the death of ...
