AbstractBrief abstract written by HRAF anthropologists who have done the subject indexing for the document
This is a detailed ethnographic summary of Uru-Chipaya culture, outlining the main features of each group and revealing some of the major distinctions between them. The Uru are treated more fully than the Chipaya. Although the author did fieldwork in this area, especially among the Aymara, he does not specify which, if any, of the data in this article are derived from his personal observations.
