Abstract: Brief abstract written by HRAF anthropologists who have done the subject indexing for the document
This work focusses on ethnohistory and material culture.
Topics covered in greatest detail are masked dances, with particular reference to the
costumes, and mythology, with translations of a number of fairly long legends. Weapons
and feather ornaments are described in detail. Among the subjects given less coverage
the most notable are: a short history of European contact; descriptions of the major
subgroups; settlement patterns and village types; population; and subsistence patterns,
including foods and food preparation. It is revealed that although hunting is relatively
unimportant economically, animals and their symbolization play a significant role in
Karajá social life and ideational systems.
