Question

The so-called “rescues” conducted by these people are romanticized in Jean-Baptiste Debret’s lithographs. Victor Brecheret sculpted a granite monument to these people that protesters graffitied with the word “murderers” in 2013. The “patriarch” of these people fathered the first mixed-race “Mamluks.” These people spread a simplified version of an indigenous language called the língua geral. (-5[1])The regionalists of the 1932 Constitutionalist Revolution claimed the heritage of these people, who used a word for feathery-legged birds to denigrate the boots of the (*) newcomers they faced in the War of the Emboabas. (-5[1])In the 1640s, the Mboboré (-5[1])defeated these people’s last raid on the Jesuit reductions. (-5[2])Columns (-5[2])of these people pushed west of the Tordesillas (-5[1])line (10[1])behind the flag-carriers (-5[1])that gave these people their name. For 10 points, (10[1])name these (10[1])prospectors and slave-traders who colonized Brazil. ■END■ (10[5]0[2])

ANSWER: bandeirantes (“bun-day-RON-chiss”) [or bandeira members; accept bandeirismo or Monument to the Bandeiras; prompt on synonyms of slavers until “slave-traders” is read; prompt on gold prospectors until “prospectors” is read; prompt on synonyms of settlers, colonists, or explorers until “colonized” is read; prompt on Paulistas, Portuguese, or Brazilians]
