Karai Yo

Karai Yo recalls the Carijó, Guarani-speaking Indigenous peoples of the southern Brazilian coast. Around the Bay of Babitonga, their villages occupied a shore with a much older human history, marked by the shell mounds left by earlier inhabitants. Carijó communities encountered European navigators arriving in the region from the beginning of the sixteenth century. Their coastal country extended south from São Francisco do Sul toward Rio Grande do Sul.

The later city of Joinville lies here.
