Arariboia
Arariboia (old spelling: Ararigboya; – 1589) was the founder of the city of Niterói, in Brazil. Son of Temiminó chief Maracajá-guaçu, he was the leader of the Temiminó tribe, which inhabited the territory of the present Espírito Santo state after losing their territories to long-term enemies, the Tamoios, only to come back to Rio de Janeiro in 1564 with Estacio de Sá's fleet. Under his leadership, the tribe assisted the Portuguese in their war with France for total control of the Guanabara Bay, sending an infantry of armed soldiers to retake the Guanabara Bay from the French, as Arariboia had become the leader of the temimiminó, after his father, reinforcing the Bay with about 8,000 native indigenous soldiers, who were quite knowledgeable of the territory, as they once called it home. The French, meanwhile, had settled in the Guanabara Bay in 1555, occupying the Serigipe Island (current Ilha de Villegagnon), where they built the Coligny Fort. To counter Portugues ...

Tupí People
The Tupi people, a subdivision of the Tupi-Guarani linguistic families, were one of the largest groups of indigenous peoples in Brazil before its colonization. Scholars believe that while they first settled in the Amazon rainforest, from about 2,900 years ago the Tupi started to migrate southward and gradually occupied the Atlantic coast of Southeast Brazil. Many Tupi people today are merged with the Guaraní people, forming the Tupi–Guarani languages. The Guarani languages are a subdivision of the Tupian languages. History The Tupi people inhabited 3/4 of all of Brazil's coast when the Portuguese first arrived there. In 1500, their population was estimated at 1 million people, nearly equal to the population of Portugal at the time. They were divided into tribes, each tribe numbering from 300 to 2,000 people. Some examples of these tribes are: '' Tupiniquim'', '' Tupinambá'', ''Potiguara'', '' Tabajara'', '' Caetés'', ''Temiminó'', ''Tamoios''. The Tupi were adept ...
