Abstract: Brief abstract written by HRAF anthropologists who have done the subject indexing for the document
This document integrates Wagley's earlier studies on
Tapirapé ethnography made in 1939-1940, with updated information obtained from brief visits
to these people in 1953, 1957, and 1965. The author discusses early contacts of the
Tapirapé with Europeans, subsistence and ecology, social organization, material culture,
religion (especially shamanism), and brief biographical sketches of four of his native
informants and friends. The work concludes with a discussion of the degree to which the
Tapirapé have been integrated into the mainstream European (Brazillian) society, and the
outlook for these as well as other Brazilian Indians groups in the future (post 1965
era).
