Tupí people
The Tupí people were one of the most important indigenous peoples in Brazil. Scholars believe they first settled in the Amazon rainforest, but 2900 years ago they started to spread southward and gradually occupied the Atlantic coast.〔(Saída dos tupi-guaranis da Amazônia pode ter ocorrido há 2.900 anos )〕
==History==
The Tupí people inhabited almost all of Brazil's coast when the Portuguese first arrived there. In 1500, their population was estimated at 1 million people, nearly equal to the population of Portugal at the time. They were divided into tribes, each tribe numbering from 300 to 2,000 people. Some examples of these tribes are: ''Tupiniquim'', ''Tupinambá'', ''Potiguara'', ''Tabajara'', ''Caetés'', ''Temiminó'', ''Tamoios''. The Tupí utilised agriculture and therefore satisfied a Neolithic condition. They grew cassava, corn, sweet potatoes, beans, peanuts, tobacco, squash, cotton and many others. There was not a unified Tupí identity despite the fact that they were a single ethnic group that spoke a common language.
