Ora, o índio conhecia a ferocidade desse povo sem pátria e sem religião, que se alimentava de carne humana e vivia como feras, no chão e pelas grutas e cavernas; estremecia só com a idéia de que pudesse vir assaltar a casa de D. Antônio de Mariz.

The setting

Now, the índio knew the ferocity of that people without homeland and without religion, who fed on human flesh and lived like beasts, on the ground and through grottoes and caves; he shuddered at the mere idea that they might come to storm D. Antônio de Mariz's house.
