description: "Caramuru was the Tupi name of the Portuguese colonist Diogo Álvares Correia, who is notable for being the first European to establish contact with the native Tupinambá population in modern-day Brazil and was instrumental in the early colonization of Brazil by the Portuguese crown. Notably, Caramuru's native-born wife, Catarina Paraguaçu, was the first South American native to be received in France in 1526. He and Catarina became the first Christian family in Brazil and had three children: Gaspar, Gabriel and Jorge, all named knights by Tomé de Sousa."
