Canela Shamanism: Shamans' Accounts, "Journeying," and Delimitation of Shamanic Terms
In this article I recount the stories of various shamans I have worked with throughout many decades of fieldwork among the Ramkokamekra-Canela (Eastern Timbira) of central Maranhão state, Brazil. Along with their narratives, I provide ethnographic context in order to address the following questions: (1) Who is a shaman? (2) What is shamanism? Is shamanism better understood (3) as a process or a method that is carried out to achieve certain ends, …
The Canela Diaries: Their Nature, Uses, and Future
In 1966, three Canela Indians of Brazil started writing diaries about their lives and tribal events for me. Since then, I have collected about 150,000 manuscript pages and 2,000 hours on tape. About twenty-two diarists have contributed through the years, though never more than twelve at once. The Canela diary program grew out of my predilection for a personal approach to field work as well as my preference for qualitative over quantitative resear…

The Canela Since Nimuendaju: A Preliminary Report on Cultural Change
Between 1929 and 1936, the German-born Brazilian anthropologist Curt Nimuendaju spent fourteen months with the Canela Indians, otherwise known as the R4mkBkamekra, a Je-speaking people on the northeastern edge of the Brazilian central plateau. A result of his studies made during six visits is the posthumously published monograph The Eastern Timbira (1946), translated from the German and edited by the late Robert Lowie. One object of my field rese…
