Text for question. Brazilian Indians There are about 305 tribes living in Brazil today, totaling around
900,000 people, or 0.4% of Brazil’s population. The government has recognized 690 territories for its indigenous population, covering about 13% of Brazil’s land mass. Nearly all of this reserved land (98.5%) is in the Amazon. But although just about half of all Brazilian Indians live outside the Amazon, these tribes only occupy 1.5% of the total land reserved for Indians in the country […] Even after hundreds of years of contact with expanding frontier society, they have in most cases strongly maintained their language and customs despite the massive theft of their lands. The largest tribe today is the Guarani, numbering 51,000, but they have very little land left. During the past 100 years almost all their land has been stolen from them and transformed into cattle ranches, soya fields and sugar cane plantations. […] Most tribes live entirely off the forests, savannas and rivers by a mixture of hunting, gathering fruits and seeds and fishing. They grow plants for food and medicine and use them to build houses and make everyday objects. Uncontacted Indigenous peopleBrazil is home to more uncontacted peoples than anywhere on the planet. Anthropologists consider that more than 100 such groups live in the Amazon. Some number several hundred and live in remote areas in Acre state and in protected territories such as the Vale do Javari, on the border with Peru. Others are some survivors of tribes virtually extinct by the impacts of the rubber extraction and expanding agriculture in the last century. Mark the correct alternative. A About 13% of the Brazilian population are indigenous people. B All the Brazilian indigenous peoples live in the Amazon. C Brazilian indigenous people today total less than one million people. D Indigenous people don’t speak their native languages anymore.
