In 2022, Brazil commemorated two crucial moments in its historical and cultural development. Two hundred years have passed since independence from Portugal and one hundred years since the socalled Modern Art Week (Semana de Arte Moderna) in São Paulo. In addition to celebrations, the year 2022 was also a year of new perspectives on both anniversaries, especially through the lens of the First Nations of Brazil. One of the significant efforts was the article “Centenary of Art Week Mobilizes Indigenous Artists” (Centenário da Semana da Arte mobiliza artistas indígenas) and the “Manifesto of Contemporary Native Brasilian Literature” (Manifesto da Literatura Indígena Contemporânea) contained in it. The text by the Brazilian writer Trudruá Dorrico was intentionally published a week before the anniversary, on February 9, 2022, in the online magazine Ecoa. The analysis of several slogans of the manifesto will focus on the issue of tribal ancestors and “Macunaíma’s grandchildren”.
