Darcy Ribeiro was born on October 26, 1922, in Montes Claros, in the state of Minas Gerais, the son of Reginaldo Ribeiro dos Santos and of Josefina Augusta da Silveira.
Ribeiro finished primary and secondary education in his native town, at the Grupo Escolar Gonçalves Chaves and at the Ginásio Episcopal de Montes Claros.
Ribeiro started his career working in the Government's Indian Protection Agency since 1946. In 1953, he founded the Museum of the Indian in Rio de Janeiro. He was also one of the founders of the University of Brasilia, where he became rector in 1961. After serving briefly as Minister of Education and Culture under President Joao Goulart, Ribeiro fled to Uruguay during the 1964 military coup. Ribeiro returned several years later and was imprisoned briefly after yet another coup. He was exiled, only to return in 1974.
From 1983 to 1987, Darcy Ribeiro held the position of the chief of staff (Ministro-chefe da Casa Civil) in the cabinet of President João Goulart, vice-governor of Rio de Janeiro and exercised the mandate of the senator from Rio de Janeiro from 1991 until his death.
Ribeiro is best known for development work in the areas of education, sociology and anthropology. During his long career, he wrote and edited a number of books. His studies in the field of anthropology included the six-volume set entitled Studies of the Anthropology of Civilization, as well as Kadiweu Religion and Mythology, The Americas and Civilization, Indigenous Language and Cultures in Brazil, and Art of the Kadiweu Indians. He also wrote a novel called Maira.
Along with his friend and colleague Anísio Teixeira, he was also one of the founders of the University of Brasília in the early 1960s. He also served as the first rector of that university, and the campus is named after him. He was the founder of the State University of Norte Fluminense (Universidade Estadual do Norte Fluminense) as well.
Moreover, he is also known as a creator of the Integrated Centres for Public Instruction (Centros Integrados de Ensino Público), a visionary and revolutionary pedagogical project of assistance for children, including recreational and cultural activities beyond formal instruction.

Quotes from others about the person
Roberto DaMatta, a Brazilian anthropology professor at the University of Notre Dame, said ''Mr Ribeiro was one of those larger than life characters, who did some nasty things, but they're all encompassed by this incredible bravery before destiny and their own egos.''
Ribeiro was never married and had no children.
