sentences:  The poem "A Lárgima de um Caheté" which was written by Floresta was deemed to be unique due to her use of a Caeté Indian as the main character and hero.Both prior to and after this poem was written, standard Indianist literature selected heroes from peaceable Indian tribes who favored the Portuguese.Since these characteristics are not descriptive of the Caeté tribe, it is suggested that Floresta chose this Caeté man as a hero due to his persistence to continue fighting even while being oppressed.
