— E quem será a mãe da tribo? Quem guardará a cabana de Peri? Quem contará aos pequenos as guerras de Ararê, forte entre os mais fortes? Quem dirá quantas vezes a nação Goitacá levou o fogo à taba dos brancos e venceu os homens do raio? Quem há de preparar os vinhos e as bebidas para os guerreiros, e ensinar aos filhos os costumes dos velhos?

The setting

— And who will be the mother of the tribe? Who will guard Peri's hut? Who will tell the little ones the wars of Ararê, strong among the strongest? Who will tell how many times the Goitacá nation carried fire to the village of the whites and defeated the men of the thunderbolt? Who shall prepare the wines and the drinks for the warriors, and teach the children the customs of the elders?
