notes:
Staden describes his capture on the island of Santo Amaro by native Americans who take him back to their settlement of Brikioka to eat him. 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, also known as the Tuppin Imba or Tupi, a cannibalistic Brazilian tribe. Image title taken from chapter title.
