Brazil here. Kinda.

So our history books begin on the year 1500, with the arrival of the Portuguese here. No talk about the natives that were here first or how they even got here, but okay. 

Humm

We teach it. At least I remember getting some classes about native populations and even more classes theorizing how human rice arrived in America 

What I find underwhelming is schools aren't more empathic about indigenous genocide cause. We teach portuguese people devastated native americans, but I wish people were more clear about the scale of the murdering and ethnic cleaning

If Europeans have just slaughtered Amerindeans like english and americans have done in USA we wouldn't have over 60% of Brazilians having native american DNA. The fact is the indigenous who didn't die were forcefully christianized and forbidden to keep their cultural background, religion and even language.
