Pod 3: Matriarchs of Brazil: Uncovering Indigenous Ancestry
This podcast explores the genealogical history of Brazil, focusing on the matriarchs who founded important families, especially in São Paulo, but with a presence throughout the country. It challenges the traditional historical narrative, which has often marginalized Indigenous and African origins in favor of a Eurocentric perspective. The podcast highlights the importance of genetic testing, which has revealed the Amerindian ancestry of prominent figures, challenging past conceptions. It also analyzes the work Genealogia Paulistana by Luiz Gonzaga da Silva Leme, uncovering omissions and idealizations in the depiction of some matriarchs’ origins. The goal is to recover the history of Indigenous women who played a crucial role in shaping Brazilian identity, promoting a more inclusive and accurate understanding of the past.
