Research was conducted using archival materials in which I searched for the different conceptualizations of river movements and routes, of either Indians or colonizers. During the period of penetration in the region called “Mundurucânica”, several native groups living in the savannah and at the riverbanks, started to be used as a labour-force, but above all, they worked as interpreters thereby enabling colonization on these Amazonian rivers around the Tapajós. If, on one hand, native groups were violated by colonization, on the other, they have shaped and influenced the penetration, demonstrating their active involvement in this historical process. With the arrival of Franciscan priests and the ultimate establishment of the Cururu Mission, exchanges between indigenous people and colonizers became impregnated with mythical fragments. These relations of displacements and encounters between indigenous groups—that in turn influenced colonization efforts—with local cultural values and practices is still a relatively little explored topic in anthropology. This thesis synthesises the history of the colonization of a region of the Brazilian Amazonian rainforest from the point of view of its indigenous inhabitants. It considers the pacification of the Indians in the 18th and 19th centuries, presenting ethnographic material of the indigenous groups that have moved into the Tapajós region and examines their social logic of interethnic contact. I analyze fragments of material culture, myths and naming such as they appear in the literature so as to track down the spatial dynamics of indigenous Amazonia and its landscape transformations. 6 CONTENTS 1 ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS ............................................................................ 10 2 INTRODUCTION .......................................................................................... 11 3 FIRST PART: THE ROUTE TO COLONIZATION IN THE 18TH CENTURY .................................................................................................................... 18 3.1 CHAPTER 1: AVID PURSUIT OF THE TAPAJÓS WATERSHEDS IN THE TH 18 CENTURY ............................................................................................ 19 3.1.1 Headwater Discoverers: Flying Observer ................................................. 21 3.1.2 The Indigenous Tapajós .............................................................................. 26 3.1.3 The Profitable Tapajós ................................................................................ 33 3.1.4 The Military use of the Tapajós .................................................................. 36 3.1.5 Maué Pacification (1770) ............................................................................. 43 4 SECOND PART: INTERPRETERS ROUTES DURING THE 19TH CENTURY ................................................................................................................... 56 4.1 CHAPTER 2: THE FIRST INTERPRETERS AND THE CONTOURS OF THE MUNDURUCANIA ......................................................................................... 57 4.1.1 The Mundurucania limits and groups ........................................................ 57 4.1.2 Indigenous Trade Routes around Itaituba ................................................. 61 4.1.3 Jacaré and Mumbuai Maué Routes ............................................................ 63 4.1.4 The Munduruku Pacification and the creation of the Madeira Jesuit Lower Missions ............................................................................................ 65 4.1.5 Mura Peace Reduction (1784-86) ............................................................... 85 4.1.6 The Munduruku from the Lower Tapajós in the Cabanagem .................. 88 4.1.7 Feather Ornaments ...................................................................................... 93 4.2 CHAPTER 3: INDIGENOUS MOBILITY ...................................................... 102 4.2.1 The Munduruku from the Cupari .............................................................. 104 4.2.2 Recent Indigenous History of the Jamanchim ........................................ 105 4.2.3 The Munduruku from the Waterfalls: Tiacorão ....................................... 112 4.2.4 Indigenous dispersal proipiciated by the Bacabal Mission ................... 123 5 THIRD PART: THE ROUTES OF CREATION IN THE TAPAJÓS SAVANNAH ............................................................................................... 132 5.1 CHAPTER 4: FOLLOWING THE FRANCISCANS IN THE RUBBER AVENUES .................................................................................................... 133 5.1.1 The Triangulation Maici-Aripuanã-Três Casas ....................................... 133 5.1.2 Exploring the Savannah ............................................................................ 141 5.1.3 First Descriptions of the Cururu Munduruku .......................................... 153 5.1.4 Cururu Migration ........................................................................................ 160 5.1.5 Crepori, Arencré and Cantagallo Petroglyphs ........................................ 162 5.2 CHAPTER 5: DIVERSE MUNDURUKU HISTORICITIES ........................... 170 5.2.1 The Krepotiá Gravity Center ..................................................................... 171 5.2.2 The Caterpillar Wood Party ....................................................................... 171 5.2.3 Hunting Season ......................................................................................... 176 5.2.4 The AdaiAdai Hunting Ceremony ............................................................. 180 5.2.5 Wakupari and Wawdadibika.

  • Some Principles of the Use of Macro-Areas Language Dynamics &A
    Online Appendix for Harald Hammarstr¨om& Mark Donohue (2014) Some Principles of the Use of Macro-Areas Language Dynamics & Change Harald Hammarstr¨om& Mark Donohue The following document lists the languages of the world and their as- signment to the macro-areas described in the main body of the paper as well as the WALS macro-area for languages featured in the WALS 2005 edi- tion. 7160 languages are included, which represent all languages for which we had coordinates available1. Every language is given with its ISO-639-3 code (if it has one) for proper identification. The mapping between WALS languages and ISO-codes was done by using the mapping downloadable from the 2011 online WALS edition2 (because a number of errors in the mapping were corrected for the 2011 edition). 38 WALS languages are not given an ISO-code in the 2011 mapping, 36 of these have been assigned their appropri- ate iso-code based on the sources the WALS lists for the respective language. This was not possible for Tasmanian (WALS-code: tsm) because the WALS mixes data from very different Tasmanian languages and for Kualan (WALS- code: kua) because no source is given. 17 WALS-languages were assigned ISO-codes which have subsequently been retired { these have been assigned their appropriate updated ISO-code. In many cases, a WALS-language is mapped to several ISO-codes. As this has no bearing for the assignment to macro-areas, multiple mappings have been retained. 1There are another couple of hundred languages which are attested but for which our database currently lacks coordinates.

  • Jenny Reddish1 Labrets: Piercing and Stretching on the Northwest Coast and in Amazonia
    Jenny Reddish1 LABRETS: PIERCING AND STRETCHING ON THE NORTHWEST COAST AND IN AMAZONIA Abstract This article examines the practice of piercing and stretching the lip in order to accommodate a labret in two regions: the North American Northwest Coast (with historical examples from Tlingit groups) and lowland South America (utilizing ethnographic writings on Suya and Kayapo communities). Drawing on the recent ‘sensorial turn’ within anthropology, I suggest an approach which goes beyond considerations of the symbolism of body ornaments and analyses how the infliction of pain they involve can be manipulated to serve processes of social maturation and instil values such as the importance of flamboyant oratory. Labrets are seen here as efficacious devices for producing different kinds of social bodies. Keywords: body ornaments; Northwest Coast; Suya; Kayapo; Tlingit; sensorial anthropology. ADORNOS LABIALES: PERFORACIÓN Y ESTIRAMIENTO EN LA COSTA NOROESTE Y EN LA AMAZONIA Resumen Este artículo examina la práctica de perforar y estirar el labio con el fin de acomodar un adorno labial en dos regiones: la Costa Noroeste de Norteamérica (con ejemplos históricos de los grupos tlingit) y las tierras bajas de Suramérica (utilizando etnografías de los suya y kayapó). Con base en el reciente “giro sensorial” en antropología, se propone una aproximación que va más allá de las consideraciones simbólicas de los ornamentos corporales y analiza cómo el dolor causado por esos ornamentos puede ser manipulado para servir a procesos de maduración social e impartir valores tales como la importancia de la oratoria fastuosa. Los adornos labiales son vistos aquí como artefactos eficaces para producir diferentes clases de cuerpos sociales.

  • An Introduction to Three Nambikwara Ethnohistories
    An Introduction To Three Nambikwara Ethnohistories January, 2019: Edwin B. Reesink – Allegories of Wildness – Three Nambikwara ethnohistories of sociocultural and linguistic change and continuity –Rozenberg Publishers – ISBN 978 90 3610 173 8 – 2010 – will be online soon. International fame for the Nambikwara came from the central role they play in the work of the late Claude Lévi-Strauss. In his most popular book, Tristes Tropiques, over fifty years ago, he already had painted a particular picture of the Nambikwara way of life. Until the end of his long life this great scholar reminisced about his formative years in anthropology and the influence of the several Indian peoples he encountered during his travels in the interior of Brazil. In effect, the Nambikwara, as seen in the quote, occupy a special place, one not just of scientific interest but particularly one of a sympathy and feeling sometimes not readily associated with this anthropologist. At the time of the travels by Lévi- Strauss and the other people of his expedition, the dry season of 1938, the Nambikwara happened to be in an intermediate phase of their history: enjoying their political autonomy yet already shaped and devastated by the encroachment of Brazilian society. The sparse, intermediate but regular contacts with Brazilians made them susceptible to being devastated yet further by epidemics. Previously, from 1907 onward, the Brazilians by means of the so-called Rondon Mission penetrated into the vast territories in which lived a large number of different local groups who each considered themselves to be different from their neighbours. Rondon, the State and later researchers recognized this diversity but ultimately still tended to maintain the idea of “one Nambikwara people”.
