Itapucu as Louis-Marie in Claude d'Abbeville's Histoire

Itapucu[a] (born c. 1576) was a Tupinambá Indian from the Ibiapaba[b] mountains in Maranhão.[1][2][3] His father, Uarauaçu,[c] was the chief of a village.[1] Itapucu was taken to France, where in 1614 he delivered a speech in the Tupi language to Louis XIII, his mother, and other members of the French court in the Louvre Palace.[2][4] He was baptized as Louis-Marie.[2] The name "Itapucu" means "long stone" in Tupi, from itá ("stone") and puku ("long").[5]
