AB  - This source presents a short account of an important Karajá dance performed by men. Emphasis is given to the costumes and paraphernalia used in the dance, and the sacred hut outside of the village where the costumes are made and guarded prior to the performance; afterward they are destroyed. Women and children participate only as spectators, and severe penalties can be imposed on women should they enter the sacred hut or otherwise view the dance costume any time but during the performance.
