Indigenous Peoples, Autonomy, and Rainforest Conservation THURSDAY, APRIL 3 12:00 PM – 2:30 PM 2110 TALIAFERRO HALL Laura Graham is a Professor of Anthropology at the University of Iowa who has worked with native peoples of the Brazilian Cerrado for many years. For the past 15 years she has been working closely with Hiparidi Top'tiro, a Xavante leader and activist. Together, they produced the film, Owners of the Water, documenting a Xavante campaign to protect their river. Taily Terena, of the Terena tribe of central Brazil, is an active participant in the International Indigenous Youth Movement and the UN Permanent Forum on Indigenous Issues. Terena will speak about present problems facing indigenous peoples of Brazil and the organizational responses to those problems, including youth and women's movements. Hiparidi Top'tiro is a leader from the Xavante tribe in Mato Grosso state in central Brazil. He is founder and past president of the Xavante Warã Association and founder and current president of the Mobilization of Indigenous Peoples of the Cerrado (MOPIC). Top’tiro’s work focuses on protecting Xavante lifeways and lands in the face of the rapid expansion of agri- business, primarily soy, in the Brazilian Cerrado. Laura Zanotti is a Professor of Anthropology specializing in political ecology at Purdue University. She has worked among the Kayapó of southeastern Brazil for ten years. Together with Barbara Zimmerman and Janet Chernela, she is designer of the University of Maryland course to the Kayapó. Her forthcoming book tentatively titled Mapping Indigenous Lands addresses the Kayapó’s fight for social justice in a volatile Amazonian landscape.

Evolutionary Biology and Health of Hunter-Gatherer Populations
9 Evolutionary biology and health of hunter-gatherer populations ALi\lN FROMENT Introduction Hunter-gatherers display a wide variety of morphological and physiological characteristics, and should provide a good model for the evolution of human biological characters across a considerable range of environments in presumably isolated situations. This chapter examines both ecological and genetic aspects of the evolu tion of present-day hunter-gatherers and also comments on what the future will hold for those who now face or soon will face cultural and technological transition through contact with dominant groups. Hunter-gatherers are not recognisable by their biological character istics - they are defined by their way of life, namely their relation to nature, which is a cultural, not a biological, definition (see Panter Brick, Layton and Rowley-Conwy, this volume). However their close interaction with the physical and animal environment, their small and mobile groups, their dietary and work patterns, did create ecological and evolutionary characteristics which shaped biological outcomes. Existing variation in biological traits will be examined as evolutionary responses to climate, diet and disease. Some partially unanswered questions related to evolution and transition can be listed. Concerning morphology, is small stature an adaptation to hunting and gathering? What is the genetic basis for anatomical characteristics and what room is there for modulation by nutritional and infectious variables? Is there a secular trend modifying these

Parte da herança cultural do povo Paiter Suruí pode ser encontrada no Arquivo Arampiã que possui gravações coletadas pela antropóloga Betty Mindlin, que tem trabalhado com o Paiter por mais de 20 anos. Estes arquivos são como “oral-books” de histórias de vida dos Paiter Suruí do passado e do presente. A musicalidade Suruí vem da língua Tupi-Mondé, rica em onomatopéias e ideofones, e exclamações com funções verbal que imitam os animais da floresta. A música Suruí nos mostra que o mito é composto não só de histórias fabulosas, mas também pela realidade. Ambos são apresentados através de palavras arcaicas e significados metafóricos. Palavras-chave: Paiter Suruí, Rondônia, etnomusicologia, a tradição oral indígena Abstract This text introduces a brief explanation about the intricate relation between music and narrative, speech and chant, voice and myth, which together are part of the poetical art of the Paiter Suruí, an indigenous people from Rondônia (Amazonia).

Aspectos Comuns Da Organização Social Kaingang, Xavante E Bororo1
ASPECTOS COMUNS DA ORGANIZAÇÃO SOCIAL KAINGANG, XAVANTE E BORORO1 JULIANA SOARES2 UNISINOS RESUMO: Durante o desenvolvimento do Projeto Taió (Arqueologia do Planalto Catarinense), foram realizadas pesquisas etno-históricas a respeito dos Jê Meridionais - Tradição Taquara/Itararé e seus descendentes Kaingang. Os resultados desses estudos levaram à necessidade de obter dados que permitam discutir como se constituiu a identidade étnica do grupo, percebendo de que maneira o processo migratório para a Região Sul influenciou sua especificidade cultural. A estratégia utilizada para abordar a questão foi perceber o Kaingang dentro do contexto dos Povos Jê, confrontando-o, através de análise comparativa, com as sociedades Xavante e Bororo a fim de mapear elementos distintos e comuns de suas estruturas de organização social. Os resultados obtidos vêm auxiliar os estudos culturais Kaingang e a interpretação de dados arqueológicos. PALAVRAS-CHAVE: Kaingang; Xavante; Bororo; análise comparativa. ABSTRACT: During the development of the Taió Project (Archaeology of the Santa Catarina Highlands), were held ethnohistorical research about the Southern Jê - Taquara / Itararé Tradition and their descendants Kaingang. The results of these studies led to the need for data to discuss how the ethnic identity of the group, realizing in which way the migration process for the South Region influenced their cultural specificity. The strategy used to address the issue was realizing the Kaingang within the context of Jê People, confronting it, through comparative analysis to the Xavante and Bororo societies to map different elements and their joint structures of social organization. The results come help the Kaingang cultural studies and the interpretation of archaeological data. KEYWORDS: Kaingang; Xavante; Bororo; comparative analysis.

No variation was observed for 15 of them, in accordance with previous studies. Of the remaining 13, four (Rh, Duffy, acid phosphatase, and GC) showed significant departures from the averages obtained in 32 other South American Indian populations. If studies performed in the 1960s are considered, there is indication that no significant changes in this village’s gene pool has occurred in the last 30 years. Comparison with two other Xavante populations included nine systems with variation, and for three of them (MNSs, Rh, and Duffy) significant differences were found.

The aim of the present study was to characterize the genetic structure of Xavante Indians and compare it with other populations. The Xavante, an indigenous population living in Brazilian Central Plateau, is one of the largest native groups in Brazil. A subset of 53 unrelated subjects was selected from the initial sample of 300 Xavante Indians. Using 86,197 markers, Xavante were compared with all populations of HapMap Phase III and HGDP-CEPH projects and with a Southeast Brazilian population sample to establish its population structure. Principal Components Analysis showed that the Xavante Indians are concentrated in the Amerindian axis near other populations of known Amerindian ancestry such as Karitiana, Pima, Surui and Maya and a low degree of genetic admixture was observed. This is consistent with the historical records of bottlenecks experience and cultural isolation.

Comparing and Contrasting the Kayapó and Xavánte Indigenous Groups of Brazil”
“Measuring Resistance: Comparing and Contrasting the Kayapó and Xavánte Indigenous Groups of Brazil” Carolina Santillán Faculty Mentor: Dr. Juan R. Ishikawa June 11, 2009 Measuring Resistance 1 Chapter 1 A distinctive beginning The life of the Indians before the appearance of the Portuguese was one that resembled most civilizations of that time, but in a smaller scale. Most of Brazil’s Indians were semisedentary tribes instead of fully sedentary groups such as the ones found in Spanish America (Chasteen, 26). In other words, they lived in small communities and were constantly on the move. Although there were no economic resources, most of the tribes had more than enough to survive and to continue their rich way of living with the help of their natural surroundings. For example, they would hunt, fish, and plant their own food by practicing “slash and burn” (Chasteen, 27). More than five hundred years have passed, yet the present traditional gender roles are cultural aspects that were practiced by the Indians of that time. For example, the men were the ones in charge of the hunting and fishing while the women would plant, harvest, and cook foods such as manioc, corn, and fruits. Other typical aspects were also practiced such as domesticating certain animals and making pottery (Capistrano, 11). The Indians were very peaceful among their nuclear groups and they honored the word of the elders (Salvador, 53). Still, the Indians were engaged in a lot of wars with neighboring tribes. Many of them were captured and had to abide to the consequences. Cannibalism was present at that time and practiced by the majority of the tribes.
