Introduction / History

Amerindians, or Native Americans, faced difficult decisions when their land, way of life, and culture became dominated by Europeans. Some intermarried with Whites, and their children became mestizos, who are ethnically and culturally different from Native Americans and Europeans. Others remained distinctly Native American. In the English-speaking countries of Canada and the United States, they were placed on reservations with the worst farmland, limited resources, and few opportunities to earn a living. In Latin American countries, they have managed to keep their cultures and languages in remote and impoverished areas.

Others adapted by becoming detribalized. This means that they adopted the dominant culture, language, and way of life.


What Are Their Lives Like?

Detribalized Amerindians in Brazil live much like their White counterparts. Because they look similar to Whites, some may never know they have Amerindian blood. They sometimes face pressure or hostility from other Amerindians, some of whom may be members of their own family. Sometimes they are viewed as traitors by their tribe. Some Detribalized Amerindians are so removed from their tribe that they don t know or don t care about tribal affairs.


What Are Their Beliefs?

Because they think and act like European-Americans, Detribalized Amerindians are likely to be either secular or Christian, like the Whites. They can be Protestant or Catholic.


What Are Their Needs?

Like other Christianized people, Detribalized Amerindians need the Holy Spirit to revive their churches, their families, and their communities.


Prayer Items

Pray for a powerful work of the Holy Spirit to move in Detribalized Amerindian families and individuals.
Pray that they may be used by God as his ambassadors to win, equip, and disciple those from the least Christianized groups in their countries.
Pray for secularized Detribalized Amerindians to find hope and joy in knowing Jesus Christ.
Pray for Detribalized Amerindians to make a point of discipling those from unreached communities.


Scripture Prayers for the Amerindian, Detribalized in Brazil.
