Two Ergativities and Their Cultural Correlates proposes a distinction between two types of languages with ergative structures: a group which includes languages partially ergative from the Jê family, and another group of languages constituted mainly by languages also partially ergative from the Tupí-Guaraní family. We discuss the cultural correspondences of these two types of ergative structures, based on observations of various Amazonian indigenous groups: some Jê groups, on the one hand, and various Tupí-Guaraní groups, on the other hand, among which, the Kawahíwa, Kayabí and Araweté, whose cultures will be focused
