The native art around Buzios is probably that of the Indian tribes in the very important Brazilian State of Minas Gerais. These are the Krenak Indians and there is a store in Buzios named Tepó meaning "The Sun of Our Heritage." It is reported that this art store is a fabulous representation of not only the art but the culture of the natives. A major city in Minas Gerais between Sao Paolo and Rio de Janeiro is Governador Valadares where the Krenak still reside and still maintain their traditions. This tribe is also known by another name: the Borun.
The Krenak were oppressed by the colonial settlers and many wars termed as "just" wars were waged against them. Only in recent years were they able to recover the land in the State of Minas Gerais taken from them. A census in 1997 revealed that there was only a population of 150 Krenak. So, as you can imagine, their culture and art is very distinct and would make an interesting display anywhere in Buzios to include the Hotel Pousada La Mandragora accommodation.
