| Scope and content |
This collection of 4 documents, all in English, covers a time span from the early nineteenth century to approximately 1979. A major contribution to the study of this group is that of Curt Nimuendaju's classic study of the Canela (1946), based on historical records as well as his own fieldwork during 1913-1930. The bulk of his information comes from the Ramokamekra, although relevant data from other related groups is incorporated throughout. Crocker (1974) compares the Canela Ramokamekra of the 1960s with the Nimuendaju study completed some twenty-five years before in an attempt to trace the changes that have taken place in most areas of the culture. Crocker (1990) deals with the Canela Indians of the municipio of Barra do Corda, Brazil during the period of 1929-1979. Data presented in this monograph give a wide coverage of Canela ethnography ranging from ecology and acculturation, through the various annual cycles, to material and recreative culture. Other information in this work discusses socialization processes, psychological orientations, the social, political, and the terminological (kinship) system, religion, shamanism, ethnobiology, pollution, medicine, and an analysis of the Canela's dualism system. |
