Currently, in Brazil, there are more than 220 indigenous peoples. Each one of them is different: it has its own culture, language, religion… One of the most numerous groups is the Guarani, with a population of approximately 40 thousand people, living in villages spread over more than 100 municipalities in the states of Rio Grande do Sul, Santa Catarina, Paraná, São Paulo, Espírito Santo, Rio de Janeiro, Mato Grosso, Pará, Tocantins and Maranhão.
The Guarani Mbya from Rio de Janeiro live in Parati and Angra dos Reis. Its population is about 400 Indians, distributed in three villages called Sapukai, Itatiim and Araponga. Even after several centuries of contact with white society, the Mbya maintain their religious tradition, their language and the knowledge of heaven accumulated by their ancestors.
