- Summary:
- The Karajá live on and near the Ilha do Bananal, a vast island in central Brazil formed by a divide in the middle course of the Rio Araguaia in southwestern Tocantins, where it borders Mato Grosso. The main focus of this collection of 10 documents is the largest subgroup, the Karajá proper. They are the sole subject for Dietschy (1963). Krause (1911, 1912) also provides observations on the Javaé; Ehrenreich (1891) and Cook (1909) give additional information on the Xambioá or Northern Karajá. Ethnographic fieldwork took place at approximately two-decade intervals from 1888 to 1955. For more detailed information on the content of the individual works in this collection, see the abstracts in the citations preceding each document.
