Dear friends, we would like you to present our
friends which we found on the other side of the
world. Friendship has no limits, the distance or
language cant be one of them. We will take you to
Brazil to meet the Indian tribe named Fulni-o.

Yaathé
language
TheYaathé is a language of an Red Indian tribe
named Fulni-o. This language is slowly
dissapearing because the Indians mostly speak
portuguese, the language that is spoken in Brasil.
In Aguas Belas the Indians continue to speak in
their language to preserve it from disapearing.
Actually 4000 people speak this language. We are
making with our Indian correspondents, a small
Yaathe/French dictionary to learn some words from
their language and to make them learn a little
bit of French.
THE
VILLAGE OF AGUAS BELAS
Aguas Belas means Beautiful Water in
Portuguese. This is the community of Indians
from Fulni-o tribe. They live in the
reservation where the acces to white people
is limited. The children go to post school
where they learn Portuguese (the official
language in Brasil). They learn how to use
computers, they are using them to correspond
with us.
THE
NAMES OF RED INDIANS CHILDREN
The Indian children have names that represents
things from the nature. They have the name and
surname for Brasilien authorities, but they call
each other with their Indian names.
Here is a list of children with their Indian
names, age, sex and translation of their name in
English.
