TUPIS (Comrades)

This article appears in Volume V27, Page 410 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: TUM-VAN
TUPIS (Comrades) , a tribe and stock of
South
  American Indians of Brazil. They
call
  all other peoples Tapuyas (foreigners). Their
original
 
home
  is believed to have been on the Amazon, and from its mouth they spread far southwards along the Brazilian
coast
 . When hard pressed by the Portuguese they retreated to the Andes.
Martius
  gives the Tupi nation a wide range, from the
Atlantic
  to the Andes, and from
Paraguay
  to the Amazon. Of this stock are the Omaguas, Cocomas and other Peruvian tribes. Latham makes the Tupis members of the Guarani stock. The " Lingoa Geral " or
trade
  language between Portuguese and Amazon Indians is a corruption of the Tupi tongue.
