- Comment: Translated from Portuguese Wikipedia, but seems to be in good shape. Also, sources are in Portuguese, so I must assume good faith to a certain degree myself.

Comment: there's this 2021 Guardian article about the letters. For much I would insert a mention that the language is lost/extinct, since it would also call attention on why this translation is relevant (beyond being the only known document produced by the Indigenous people during the colonial times) - I think that this information could fit in ALT2.
