| Scope and content | This collection of 13 documents, one translated from French and another from Portuguese, covers cultural, economic and environmental information circa 1907 to 1987. The basic source is by Levi-Strauss and deals mainly with family and social life, but also covers religion, kinship and subsistence activities. This source is supplemented by a brief ethnographic description originally published in the Handbook of South American Indians and two other works which focus on specific themes including chieftainship and social use of kinship terms. Seven documents in the collection were written by anthropologists P. David Price and Paul L. Aspelin who conducted original ethnographic fieldwork among different Nambicuara groups in 1967-1976. Five of the documents in this group revisit Levi-Strauss's data and analysis of Nambicuara economic activities, political organization, and leadership. The remaining two focus on specific themes including socioeconomic change and government efforts at resettling several Nambicuara groups. The collection also includes a work by E. Roqueto-Pinto, based on fieldwork conducted in 1910s, that represents the first anthropological description of the Nambicuara and their culture. This book features extensive anthropometric and linguistic data on Nambicuara groups who lived along a newly built public road crossing through the region. |
