We can say that a quarter of the Brazilian population are descendants of Indians and white people. The caboclo, or mameluco, comes from the miscegenation of the white race with the indigenous, with a predominance of the latter. The result of this mixture is a strong and beautiful breed. Miscegenation is the result of the mixing of different peoples and Brazilians have inherited this miscegenation since the time of colonization.
Caboclo Day (Dia do Caboclo) is celebrated in Brazil on June 24, three days before Mestizo Day. Congressman Athie Coury, from the MDB (SP), proposed this date nationwide in 1967. In 2007, after approval and sanction of the bill by deputy Luiz Castro, from the PPS (AM), which met popular demand and organizations from the mestizo movement, among them the Movimento Pardo-Mestiço Brasileiro, Caboclo Day became part of the official calendar of the State of Amazonas.
