A caboclo (Portuguese pronunciation: [kaˈboklu]; from Tupi kaa'boc, "deriving from the white") or caboco' is a person of a mixed Brazilian Indian and European ancestry. In Brazil, a caboclo is a specific type of mestiço as is the mulato, a person of a mixed Afro-Brazilian and European ancestry.
The term caboclo (which in Candomblé is usually pronounced without the l, as caboco) is said to come from the Tupi word kari'boka, meaning 'deriving from the white'. Thus its primary meaning is mestizo, 'a person of an Indian and European descent.' But it may also be used to refer to any Brazilian Indian." The term Indian should not be confused with people originating from South Asia.
There was a wave of caboclos created during the time of rubber soldiers, when young, primarily white Brazilian men were taken from North-Eastern Brazil and brought into the Amazonian interior to harvest rubber. The men were never granted permission to leave, and thus married locally.
Interestingly, the traditional caboclo populations in the Amazon region of Brazil are noted as voracious eaters of the açaí palm fruit. In a study, açaí palm was described as the most important plant species because the fruit makes up such a major component of diet (up to 42% of the total food intake by weight) and is economically valuable in the region (Murrieta et al., 1999).
