‘500 Years of Brazil’s Discovery’
By GAIL FINEBERG
Our territory was already inhabited before 1500 A.D., by a
large population, estimated in the 1500s at 3 million Indians,
with their own communal organization and traditions.
The encounter occurred on April 22, 1500, when Pedro
Álvares Cabral, commander of a Portuguese armada, sighted
the South American mainland and staked a claim for Portugal.

The Portuguese found Brazil attractive, as did the French,
Dutch and Spanish. The first agreement between Spain and
Portugal on frontiers was not reached until 1750.
The Jesuits were enterprising, and their missionary efforts
spread throughout the country between 1625 and 1759.
The religious influence was responsible for an extraordinarily
beautiful Brazilian baroque architecture.
Thoughts of independence began to take root in the late
18th century. Revolutionary events in Europe had a profound
effect on Brazil. Napoleon’s invasion of Portugal prompted the
Portuguese prince regent, Dom João, to move the Portuguese
court to Brazil in 1808.
Brazil matured quickly as the seat of the Portuguese empire.
The prince opened Brazilian ports to trade with friendly
nations, including Great Britain, and also government offices
in Rio de Janeiro, a supreme court, a bank, the royal treasury,
mint, printing office, a national library with holdings from the
Portuguese National Library and other academic institutions.
With the death of Portugal’s queen, Maria I, in 1816, the
regent became King João VI. He returned to Portugal in 1821
to contain a revolution there and appointed his son, Dom
Pedro, as regent in Brazil. Dom Pedro refused orders a few
months later to return to Lisbon, established a legislative
assembly in São Paulo and proclaimed Brazil’s independence
from Portugal on Sept. 7, 1822.
Dom Pedro I was crowned emperor in 1822, but after a
troubled reign marked by conflict with the assembly, he
abdicated in favor of 5-year- old Dom Pedro de Alcântara in
1831. For the next nine years, Brazil seethed with civil unrest
until both houses of parliament declared the young regent
had reached majority in 1840. The Brazilian Empire lasted to
1889.
Dom Pedro II proved to be an enlightened leader. Brazil
grew and prospered under his reign, and the country enjoyed
a great deal of stability. (The country’s population grew from 4
million to 14 million; railroads built 5,000 miles of track; and
public revenues and products multiplied.) However, support
for a republic grew, and the empire finally collapsed in 1889,
when the royal family went to exile in Europe.
The country’s 19th century economy relied on slave-based
agriculture. Slave trade with Africa did not cease until 1853.
At the dawn of the 21st century, Brazil, with an economy
that is the eighth largest in the world, is a contributor of music, painting, literature and other arts to the world’s culture.

Roraima is an interesting mountain located in the Guiana
Highlands. The peak actually shares the border with
Venezuela, Brazil, and Guyana, but the mountain is almost
always approached from the Venezuela side. The Brazil
and Guyana sides are much more difficult. The mountain’s
highest point is Maverick Rock which is at and on the
Venezuela side (thought some other sources may differ
on this). Mount Roraima was the first of the Tepuis to be climbed
and the credit goes to English botanist Everard Im Thurn
on an expedition sponsored by the Royal Geographical
Society in 1884. It was his subsequent lectures in England
that are believed to have inspired Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s
book ‘The Lost World’

The Jurutauí Legend
Jurutauí was the bird with the most beautiful song in the forest and, because it sang so melodiously, it was truly admired by the other birds. One day Jurutauí saw the moon shining splendidly and fell deeply in love with her. Then, to be heard by its muse, it flew to the highest tree to sing love songs through the night, filling the forest with the most devoted sounds.
Jurutauí couldn’t accept such a distance from its lover and flew higher and higher, trying to reach it. But the power of gravity could not be overcome. After a long struggle Jurutauí fell straight to the ground. Dizzy, it tried to recover and sing its beautiful song, but only a strident and terrible screech came from its throat and echoed through the forest. The other birds surrounded Jurutauí and mourned for the loss of the most beautiful birdsong in the forest. Now when the forest echoes with raucous and sad notes, everyone knows that it’s because Jurutauí is singing.
