At the time of the discovery of Brazil by the Europeans, a total of 2,000 indigenous nations, divided into several thousands of tribes existed in Brazil. The total number of native tribes which inhabited the present day Brazil at the time of first contact is disputed, as well as difficult to ascertain. The names of large number of tribes who were exterminated as a result of intertribal warfare is not recorded anywhere and so is the case of several smaller tribes who were wiped out by the colonizers. Curt Nimuendajú gives a list of 1,400 nations in his monumental work ''Mapa etno-histórico do Brasil e regiões adjacentes'', but he ignored many smaller (extinct) tribes in Eastern Brazil, and was unaware of some other tribes which were uncontacted at that time.〔http://biblioteca.ibge.gov.br/visualizacao/livros/liv14278_mapa.pdf〕 Currently only 200 nations (790 tribes) are alive, with no survivors being reported for the remaining nations. However this doesn't mean all their bloodlines are extinct only their cultures. Brazilian Pardo and Mestizo population have mostly unknown indigenous backgrounds. Which can and probably have many of this indigenous peoples as ancestors. The Bandeirantes once hunted and enslaved indigenous peoples in the then unknown interior of Brazil from the 16th to the early 19th century. The indigenous peoples were eventually aculturated and integrated into European civilization. Most of the recorded extinctions of the Brazilian tribes were caused by warfare with the neo-Brazilians and from the epidemics which were sometimes deliberately spread by the colonizers. However, intertribal warfare between various native Brazilian tribes also caused a significant number of extinctions. For example, the Matses, one of the tribes in the Vale do Javari region exterminated at least 4 smaller tribes during the 20th century.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Formation of the Matsés people and contact history > Matsés )〕 ==Famous extinct Brazilian nations== Out of the more than 1,800 extinct nations and thousands of tribes, names are available for only a few of them. * Abacaxis - Abacaxis River * Abaeté - Tupian (?).
