or seven days last November, my wife and I lived in one of the most beautiful locations of the Guaraní Region in South America. We were at Iguazu Falls, which while we were there was declared one of the New Seven Wonders of the World. We walked in areas of the jungle in the Misiones Province that only the Guaraní walk, and we spent one day in a Guaraní village. We went to areas in Iguazu Falls where the water was cascading over us, and we walked areas of the Iguazu Falls that were used in the film, “The Mission.” Our seven days in this mysterious land was an unforgettable experience that took us into the jungle, allowed us to see close up some of the animals the Guaraní hunted but most importantly allowed us to live the Guaraní culture. The Guaraní are one of the most important tribes of South America. Their story began in the 11th F century according to documentation left by the Maya Indians. The Guaraní territory during ancient times extended from the Amazon River bordering the northern portion of their territory to the Madeira River on the western border. About 3000 B.C., there existed three main ethnic groups in South America: the Andinos who were located in the western portions of South America, the Araukos who were located in the northern portion of South America, and the Tupí-Guaraní who were the largest group and occupied the largest part of South America. Since that time, the Tupí-Guaraní started to migrate from Central America to South Old Jesuit map 22 www.PrimitiveArcher.com Volume 21 Issue 1 Iguazu Falls from the Argentinian side Living in Guarani America. There is conjecture that a migratory movement occurred sometime before the birth of Christ and that this migratory movement created a rift in the Tupí-Guaraní causing the tribe to split into two main sub tribes. The two groups became the Tupí and the Guaraní. The Tupí went eastward to the Atlantic coast following the Amazon River while the Guaraní moved west and southwest, inhabiting the Rio de la Plata Basin formed by the rivers Paraná, Paraguay, and Fire arrows Land B y J o h n B o r g e s o n Uruguay. One of the primary reasons the Guaraní migrated was because they were looking for a “land without evil.” The areas they settled in were fertile and allowed the Guaraní to live in a good and productive way. The first entry of foreigners into the Rio de la Plata, the estuary of the Paraná or Paraguay, was made by the Spanish navigator, Juan de Solis, in 1511. Sebastian Cabot followed him in 1526, and then in 1537 Gonzalo de Mendoza ascended the
Cannibal ceremony Paraguay River to what is now the present Brazilian frontier. It was Mendoza who made the first contact with the Guaraní. Until the arrival of the Jesuits, who reached the Guaraní territory of Guayrá, in what is now the Province of Paraná, Southern Brazil. As was common in the Spanish/Portuguese colonies of that time, slavery was a part of life and the great center of the Indian slave trade was the town of São Paulo, located below Rio de Janeiro in the south of Brazil. Rio de Demonstrates application of remedy Janeiro was originally a rendezvous of the Portuguese, Dutch, and Spanish pirates. These brigands became the larger portion of the Spanish and Portuguese colonies’ population and regarded it as a right, a privilege by virtue of conquest, that they should enslave the Indians. However the Jesuits, who came after the first Spanish settlors, assumed the dual role of civilizing and Christianizing the Indians and defending them against the merciless cruelties and butcheries of the slave traders and the slave traders’ employers.
