Remarkable Botocudos of Brazil and Their Ornaments
An ethnologist describes the Botocudo people of Brazil, detailing lip and ear plugs carved from wood, extended facial painting, and distinctive dress. They craft bows from aloit palm wood, use bamboo arrowheads, and employ armadillo-tail trumpets for communication. They live in palm leaf shelters, with simple beds of bark, drink from gourds, and rely on monkeys, anteaters, alligators, and boas for food. Fire is highly valued and rekindled by friction. The men practice polygyny unsuccessfully if anger arises, and ritual discipline is noted.
