Abstract
This document is compiled from a number of issues of the Revisto do Arquivo Municipal. The author, an ethnologist, deals with various aspects of Tapirapé culture including diet, dress, ornamentation and body designs, village size and settlement pattern, economic activities, ethnozoology, contacts with other tribes and with Europeans, culture history and change, and child rearing. The distributions of certain traits are traced and the author makes frequent reference to the literature on Tapirapé and neighboring groups. No information is included on social relationships, kinship, political organization and religious beliefs. The data on economic activities is extremely limited. The account is based on fieldwork undertaken in 1935 and 1947.
