AB  - This source provides information on the natural environment in a travelogue style. It is noted how caution is required in approaching Karajá settlements so as not to be mistaken for an enemy raiding party. Although not clearly indicated, most observations on Karajá culture likely were taken from an existing ethnography (Ehrenreich 1891), and cover such topics as ornamentation, subsistence economy, food patterns, aspects of marriage and family relations, variations in the degree of acculturation among the major tribal subdivisions, the role of the village chief, funeral rites, and myth and ritual, including a description of the masked dance ceremonies.
