It is currently the only known correspondence of this type, written after the state of Pernambuco was invaded by the Dutch in 1630. With the exception of Bahia, the Dutch dominated the entire northeastern coast until the Luso-Brazilians revolted in 1645, lead to a conflict that became known as the Pernambuco Insurrection, which lasted until 1654. The Potiguara indigenous people also participated in the conflict. \u201cThe senders of the letters, known as the Camar\u00f5es, were related but took opposing sides during the war. Some sided with the Luso-Brazilians, while others fought alongside the Dutch. In 1645, they exchanged these letters,\u201d explains the researcher. Safeguarded in the Royal Library of the Netherlands for 400 years, the letters were rediscovered in 1885 by historian Jos\u00e9 Hygino Duarte Pereira (1847\u20131901). Previous translation attempts failed due to the lack of an ancient Tupi dictionary, completed by Navarro in 2013. The documents reveal unknown facts about the insurrection, such as the names of chieftains and battle sites.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Six letters written in ancient Tupi by indigenous peoples during the Brazilian colonial period have finally been transcribed and translated into Portuguese","protected":false},"author":475,"featured_media":422767,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_exactmetrics_skip_tracking":false,"_exactmetrics_sitenote_active":false,"_exactmetrics_sitenote_note":"","_exactmetrics_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1651],"tags":[241,244],"coauthors":[785],"class_list":["post-422762","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-notes","tag-history","tag-linguistics"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/revistapesquisa.fapesp.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/422762","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/revistapesquisa.fapesp.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/revistapesquisa.fapesp.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/revistapesquisa.fapesp.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/475"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/revistapesquisa.fapesp.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=422762"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/revistapesquisa.fapesp.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/422762\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":422771,"href":"https:\/\/revistapesquisa.fapesp.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/422762\/revisions\/422771"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/revistapesquisa.fapesp.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/422767"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/revistapesquisa.fapesp.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=422762"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/revistapesquisa.fapesp.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=422762"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/revistapesquisa.fapesp.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=422762"},{"taxonomy":"author","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/revistapesquisa.fapesp.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/coauthors?post=422762"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
