A friend to native people Cândido Rondon n 1865, in a small village in the state of Mato Grosso, Brazil, a boy was Iborn. His father was Portuguese, and his mother was a native Brazilian. His origins later played a big part in helping to connect many cultures in very real ways. When Rondon decided to join the army as an engineer, a road was being built to link Rio de Janeiro to Cuiba, a journey that previously could only be made by boat. At the young age of 25, Rondon helped to build this road. He later had the enormous task of placing telegraph lines from Brazil to Bolivia and Peru. This was a difficult job through rough and unexplored land, and so it required a skilled engineer. During this job, Rondon came into contact with the Bororo, a tribe he had family connections with, through his mother. Rondon had a friendly and respectful relationship with the Bororo people, and the telegraph lines were completed with their help. Rondon's next job was to continue the telegraph system from Mato Grosso to the Amazon. This time he met and made friends with the Nambikwara, who were thought of as a shy but unfriendly tribe. Rondon got to know many tribes during his expeditions, and he was a great friend to them. He was shocked and ashamed to learn about the terrible way that they were otten treated by outsiders, He fought hard to protect them and their right to follow their own beliefs, traditions and customs, However, some people still considered him an outsider. During his expeditions in Amazonia, Rondon was attacked several times, and once he was injured by an arrow. Other members of the expedition wanted to take revenge on the native people who had attacked them, but Rondon said: Die if necessary, but never kill. Years later, Rondon set up Brazil's Indian Protection Service, an agency to protect the needs and support the cultures of native peoples. Rondon's famous words became its motto. Rondon died in 1958 and is remembered as a hero in Brazil. A state in Brazil (Rondônia) was named after him, as well as the airport in Cuiabá and several roads.
