The waters around the upper and middle Negro river, in Amazônia, are the territory of the Baré indigenous people. This ethnicity changed their original language, the baré, for the nheengatu (modern tupi, a latin american indigenous language) and the portuguese, under the influence of portuguese jesuits and carmelites. Despite this, the barés preserve their ancestors’ traditions, be it in cooking—based on fishing and cassava harvests—or cultural habits dedicated to legends and ceremonies like the kariamã, a rite of passage for teenagers into adult life.
