The Tupinambá: From the Amazon to the Coast

How did a people and culture in the heart of the Amazon end up being the first people in the Americas to greet the Portuguese in 1500? Thousands of years ago, the ancestors of Tupinambá would begin an expansion that would move across the Amazon to the south and eventually across the eastern coast of Brazil. The Tupinambá are well known for the interactions with European colonizers but less so for their incredible continental migration. In this episode, we’ll learn how this expansion unfolded and why the Tupinambá and their ancestors were so successful.
