Carijos

Carijos, an ancient Brazilian nation formerly dominant on the coast lands of Sao Paulo from Cananea Bay to the neighbourhood of the Patos lagoon. They were a quiet, inoffensive people, who, however, in 1585 came into collision with some whites from Sao Vicente, and in self-defence killed the whole party. This brought upon them the vengeance of the Portuguese" settlers, by whom they were partly massacred and partly reduced to slavery. A few escaped to the woods, where they gradually died out or became merged in the surrounding tribes.
