The Tupinambás were a warrior nation. The conquered enemies could end up devoured in a cannibalistic ritual, as a way to inherit their abilities. Cabwassu immortalized his opponents with decorative scars, one for each enemy defeated in battle.

The Tupinambá women were responsible for raising children, planting and harvesting crops, and, among other things, manufacturing flour. By mixing in ingredients such as fish and pepper, they could use to make a porridge capable of impressing travelers from many lands, just as this tasty dish impressed Gerard. Arany was capable of doing all this, and could still hold her own in battle!
