Ao longo deste estudo, constatou-se que as chefias Tupi souberam obter vantagens e direitos ao se apropriarem dos códigos portugueses, como a honra e o prestígio social adquirido quando ocuparam espaços de poder no Império Ultramarino Português. A apropriação dos novos valores possibilitou a mudança na dinâmica interna dos povos indígenas, ao mesmo tempo em que as famílias Tupi, Camarão e Arcoverde, se perpetuaram no comando das aldeias nas chamadas capitanias do Norte. Para a efetivação desta pesquisa, o diálogo com manuscritos coloniais disponíveis no Arquivo Histórico Ultramarino de Lisboa tornou-se fundamental. Tal arquivo possui grande número de requerimentos ou petições dos capitães indígenas, que buscaram, constantemente, recompensas bastante cobiçadas. / This research seeks to analyze policy strategies elaborated by the Tupi indigenous leaders, which valued agreements or negotiations with the portuguese authorities, in an attempt to obtain mercy (political favors, titles, insignia of knight, allotment, etc.) for his services to the portuguese crown.
