AbstractBrief abstract written by HRAF anthropologists who have done the subject indexing for the document
In this article, the author discusses the organization of eating groups, their role in the distribution of food, the part they play in community feasts, and in social life in general. In addition, the communal labor groups among the Tapirapé are also discussed and a description is given of a work party. Tapirapé attitudes toward labor, work tempos and rhythms and the manner in which labor is organized is also described. The data were gathered by the author, an ethnologist, in 1935 when he lived with the Tapirapé.
