Scope and content This collection of 4 documents about the Ticuna, all in English, covers cultural, economic and environmental information circa 1941 to 1995. The Ticuna are a small group of indigenous people whose traditional homeland was located in the northern side of the Amazon-Solimoes Rivers in a tropical rainforest region shared by Brazil, Peru and Colombia. Two of these documents are produced by Curt Nimuendaju, a German anthropologist who conducted ethnographic fieldwork among the Ticuna in 1935 and 1941-1942. The documents vary in size, and coverage. One is a larger monograph describing economic activities, aspects of material culture, personality character and social life, social organization (largely focusing on clans and moieties), art, religion and magic. The other is a brief overview of Ticuna culture originally published in the Handbook of South American Indians. Together, these works provide a well rounded first hand account of Ticuna culture and society as observed by the author. The document by Hammond, Dolman and Watkinson discusses the ways the Ticuna adaptively transformed their traditional swidden-fallow land use practices to make advantage of emerging market opportunities in timber and forest products.
