Staden describes the groups of Brazilians native to the land, the Tuppin Ikins or Tuppin Imba (also known as the Tupinamba) and the Carios. The Tupis or Tupinambas, allies of the Portuguese who lived on São Vicente, were bitter enemies were the Carios and were the first Brazilian tribe to ally themselves with the Portuguese against the French. The text describes sugar house ("ingenio" in the image) presently known throughout Brazil as engenho. The birds are described as being "uwara" or water birds having red feathers (piranga or red ibis). Hans Staden was a German soldier who traveled twice to Brazil on Portuguese ships. On his second trip in 1522, he was shipwrecked and captured by the Tupinamba, a cannibalistic Brazilian tribe. Image title taken from chapter title.
