History The oldest traces of human presence in the current municipality of Jaguaretama are found in the Banabuiú River basin. These are various stone instruments, such as scrapers, percettors, cores and mortars, which were used for various functions, such as hunting animals and preparing food. Baptized as Santa Clara, this site was registered as an archaeological site in 2015 [6]. As well as other evidence found in Morada Nova and Jaguaribara, these ancient lithic tools - usually produced in quartz and silicified sandstone - are testimonies of the first occupations of the Ceará backlands, although it has not been possible to date them precisely until now. Likewise, rock engravings on slabs and granite boulders in the region, always close to the Banabuiú and Jaguaribe rivers, have also been identified in Jaguaribara [7] and Morada Nova [8]. According to some researchers, the Middle Jaguaribe region was inhabited by several indigenous groups when the first European colonizers arrived, such as the Paiacus, Icozinhos and Jaguaribaras [9]. However, the presence of Paiacus in the region seems to have been predominant between the 17th and 18th centuries, being certainly the ones that undertook greater resistance to the colonizers, getting involved in the main conflicts that occurred in the captaincy. Pressured by the gradual European expansion over their territories between the Jaguaribe and Banabuiú rivers, the Paiacus nonetheless represented a serious obstacle to trade between Ceará and the other Captaincies of the Eastern Northeast [10]. These conflicts with the local indigenous population were quite frequent during the 17th and 18th centuries, in view of the central role that the Jaguaribe River played in the colonization process of Ceará, as well as in the expansion of livestock in the sertão [11] [12]. Occurring from 1683 and extending until the beginning of the 18th century, the so-called “Guerra dos Bárbaros” is a very representative example of this moment in the history of the sertão, when Paiacus, Cariris, Janduís, Tremembés, Jenipapos and several other indigenous peoples came together to prevent the arrival of Portuguese settlers in the region. Quite violent, this war caused the destruction of many of these groups, including bandeirantes from São Paulo called for the suppression of indigenous people, such as Domingos Jorge Velho and Manuel Alves de Morais Navarro [13]. Also in the context of these conflicts, in 1699, the aforementioned bandeirante Manuel Navarro commanded the “Jaguaribe massacre” that culminated in the death of about four hundred Paiacus and the imprisonment of another three hundred [14]. According to some authors, this attack on the Paiacus would have been seen as cruel even by the colonial administration at the time, resulting in the arrest of the pioneer.
