     Saint Sebastian too, the patron of war, destroyed the Tamoio, the brave ones; their old lands don't exist anymore. None of them — Paranapucu, Jacutinga, Moroí, Sarigueia, Guiriri, Pindoba, Pariguaçu, Curuçá, Miapeí, Jabebiracica's village — have had anything for a long time. The enemies surrended; their bodies were side by side along the sea.
