Abstract
This is an excerpt from a larger work based on traditional knowledge and memories of informants and supplemented by the author's own observations while conducting fieldwork among the Mundurucu. The section processed for the files is particularly concerned with socio-economic organization, with considerable data on subsistence activities, warfare, and religion. It is especially valuable in that it covers aspects not treated by earlier writers on the Mundurucu.
