AbstractBrief abstract written by HRAF anthropologists who have done the subject indexing for the document
This book, written by a French missionary in Brazil, contains invaluable information on the psychology of the Tupinamba. The author tells a great many anecdotes and reproduces conversations with the natives. The most precious data are on children, slavery, and shamanism. Material culture has been somewhat neglected. d'Evreux stayed among the Tupinamba of Maranhao from 1611-1613, as a missionary.
