  Botocudo - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Botocudo (from Portuguese for botoque, a plug, in allusion, to the wooden disks or plugs worn in their lips and ears), is the foreign name for a tribe of South American Indians of eastern Brazil, also known as the Aimorés or Aimborés.
The Botocudos were themselves greatly struck by the Chinese coolies, whom they met in Brazilian seaports, and whom they at once accepted as kinsmen, according to Bollard.
The Botocudos were neolithic nomads and hunter-gatherers, wandering naked in the woods and living from the forest.

The Botocudos were themselves greatly struck by the Chinese coolies, whom they met in Brazilian seaports, and whom they at once accepted as kinsmen (Henri Hollard, De l'homme et des races humaines, Paris, 1853).
The most conspicuous feature of the Botocudos is the ternbeitera, or wooden plug or disk which is worn in the lower lip and the lobe of the ear.

The Esquimaux live exclusively on animal food; they are clothed in thick fur, and are exposed to intense cold and to prolonged darkness; yet they do not differ in any extreme degree from the inhabitants of Southern China, who live entirely on vegetable food, and are exposed almost naked to a hot, glaring climate.
The unclothed Fuegians live on the marine productions of their inhospitable shores; the Botocudos of Brazil wander about the hot forests of the interior and live chiefly on vegetable productions; yet these tribes resemble each other so closely that the Fuegians on board the "Beagle" were mistaken by some Brazilians for Botocudos.
The Botocudos again, as well as the other inhabitants of tropical America, are wholly different from the Negroes who inhabit the opposite shores of the Atlantic, are exposed to a nearly similar climate, and follow nearly the same habits of life.

The Botocudos of South America are—according to Dr Paul Ehrenreich who has observed them 1 —an ungentlemanly tribe, ‘very low in the social scale.’
The Botocudos are little better than a leaderless horde, and pay scant respect to their chieftain; they live only for their immediate bodily needs, and take small thought for the morrow, still less for the past.
I bend over the learned page pensively, and I seem to see a Botocudo Professor—though not high ‘in the social scale,’ they may have such things—visiting Cambridge on the last night of the Lent races and reporting of its inhabitants as follows:

O território original dos Botocudos era a Mata Atlântica no Baixo Recôncavo Baiano, tendo sido expulsos do litoral pelos Tupi, quando passaram a ocupar a faixa de floresta paralela, conhecida por Floresta Latifoliada Tropical Úmida da Encosta ou Mata Pluvial Tropical, localizada entre a Mata Atlântica e o rebordo do Planalto.

Many nations, no doubt, have fallen away in civilisation, and some may have lapsed into utter barbarism, though on this latter head I have met with no evidence.
The Fuegians were probably compelled by other conquering hordes to settle in their inhospitable country, and they may have become in consequence somewhat more degraded; but it would be difficult to prove that they have fallen much below the Botocudos, who inhabit the finest parts of Brazil.

The former are the Australians, Tasmanians, Andamanese, Veddahs, Negritos, Kubus, Bushmen, African pigmy-tribes, Fuegians and Botocudos; the latter the American Indians, Arctic races, [170] Northern Asiatics, Caucasus tribes, hill-tribes of India, Negroes to the South of the Soudan, inhabitants of the Malay Archipelago and Oceanic Islands.
It will be seen from the second Chapter of our first Part that all of them, with the exception perhaps of the Negritos, are unacquainted with slavery.[We may leave out of the question Zu Wied's uncertain statement about the Botocudos.
Of the pigmy-tribes we do not know very much; but nowhere is it stated that any of them have slaves.] This conclusion, however, is not of much use to us, as we do not know whether they have been justly or unjustly classified under one catagory.

We can see this illustrated most plainly in the animal group, where the male is the leader, by virtue of his strength.
The Botocudos, Fuegians, Eskimos, West Australians, Bushmen, and Veddahs represent this primitive stage more or less-completely; they have apparently not reached the stage where the fact of kinship expresses itself in maternal organization.
They live in scattered bands, held together loosely by convenience, safety, and inertia, and the male is the leader, but the leadership of the male in this case, as among animals, is very different from the organized and institutional expression of the male force in systems of political control growing out of achievement.

The paper was resolute, principally, in demonstrating to the Portuguese crown that, with the changes taking place in the world and the decline of absolutism, Brazil, which had been elevated to forming a united kingdom with Portugal and Algarve, would never go back to being a passive and exploited colony to be abandoned one day.
He used it brilliantly, as in the example cited by the historian Isabel Lustosa in her book, “Insultos Impressos” — a commentary from the Correio in 1808 on a decree by the Portuguese government recently installed in Rio de Janeiro, which declared “war on the Botocudos” (an indigenous group).
It was during the two years leading up to Brazilian independence that this irony, the perfection of his style, which never lost its composure or lacked truth, served, more than any other writing of the period to strengthen Brazil’s position vis-à-vis Portugal.
