  1. 1.

    State of São Paulo

    This is particularly true in the state of São Paulo where a concerted effort, over the early 20th century, to revive and enforce the myth of bandeirante glory was instrumental in forging regional identity in opposition to the rest of Brazil. To this day, the cultural and physical landscape of São Paulo — known as the bandeirante state —is dotted with references to names such as Antonio Raposo Tavares, Domingos Jorge Velho, Fernão Dias Paes Leme and other bandeirantes, regarded by many as heroes and founding fathers.
