Brazil, in the company of others to search for gold, and there he practiced the customs of the heathens, staining his legs
with paint. He also confessed that sixteen years ago he was ordered to go to the region of Paraíba, as captain of a company
to bring natives as slaves downriver to be settled and, while being there, he painted his body in the heathen way and
danced and sang and played musical instruments with the heathens in their way.

Answer 1

In 1592, Domingos Fernandes Nobre, a Brazilian man of mixed European-Amerindian ancestry, was on trial at the Inquisition in Brazil. During his confession, Nobre admitted to practicing the customs of the indigenous people and participating in the slave trade in Brazil. This document provides insight into the colonial attitudes and actions of Europeans in Brazil during the 16th century, as well as the ways in which indigenous cultures were perceived and treated. The trial of Domingos Fernandes Nobre highlights the complex and often conflicting cultural and political dynamics at play in the colonized Americas during this period.
