The Fulni-O Indians of the Pernambuco
The Fulni-O Indians of the Pernambuco, Northeastern Brazil
The Fulni-O Indians are only modestly known within and outside of Brazil. Prior to the European invasion, they were numbered in the hundreds of thousands and lived in the lush coastal lands near Recife.
