This process was fundamental for the formation of an indigenous category of workers, the oarsmen or rowers. In agreement with the consulted documental sources, the populations of Indians of the area of Rio de Janeiro were inserted in the world of the work because of the settlers' demands and of the State among the centuries XVI and XIX. Processes of natives' recruitment for activities of military and naval stamp were part of the group of attributions and of the modalities of the works that the natives  should render.
