The Tupi people were one of the most numerous peoples indigenous to Brazil, before colonisation. Scholars believe that while they first settled in the Amazon rainforest, from about 2,900 years ago the Tupi started to migrate southward and gradually occupied the Atlantic coast of Southeast Brazil.
What is less well known is that they played their own form of the game played in heaven (scouts honour – but seeing I never was one….).
Given the impending Ashes series later on in the year I thought this one should take priority to get finished.

Great work in the Tupi. I used these in my pulp games… the bug chief was Watutu of the Wetapunga tribe.
