The Tribe (Monica and Friends)

The Tribe ("Papa Capim") is a Brazilian comic strip, part of the Monica's Gang series.

Although the only characters are Tom-Tom (the main character), Tamoyo, Papaya and the Pajé, their stories feature a large range of themes, going from environmental concerns to the shock between indigenous and non-indigenous cultures.

People from outside the jungle are called "Caras-pálidas" (White-faced or paleface, due to their white skin, in contrast to the usual dark skin of indigenous peoples from the Amazon) or simply "Caraíbas".

[2] Tupã, the God of the Guarani people, and Jaci, the Moon, are occasionally mentioned.

In 2016 a graphic novel based on The Tribe characters entitled "Papa-Capim: Noite Branca", was released as part of the Graphic MSP being made by Marcela Godoy e Renato Guedes.
