AbstractBrief abstract written by HRAF anthropologists who have done the subject indexing for the document
This article discuss the dynamics of agriculture, seasonality and settlement patterns among the Nambicuara of Brazil. The author strongly disagrees with Levi-Straus who, based on brief fieldwork conducted in 1938, described the Nambicuara as nomadic people primarily subsisting on gathering and hunting and only secondarily on cultivation.
