This thesis is an ethnographic account of the Deni people, who live on the River Cuniuá at the Southwest corner of the Amazonas State and speak a language that belongs to the arawan family.This part of the Deni population currently lives in relative isolation from Brazilian society, which contrasts with the intense contacts of a few decades ago.The current situation is a direct result of historical factors such as the crisis of the extraction industry and the demarcation of native-land, and not the Deni's own desire.The approach adopted by the present work focuses on, but is not limited by, Deni kinship.It addresses some elements of Deni cosmology, such as their relations with the whites, the nominated groups, the animals, as well as their conception of personhood, marriage and filiation, and demonstrates the manner in which kinship relates to several other elements of the their world.The present work conducts an exercise based on an experimental methodology for studies of genealogy, thus demonstrating how some aspects of the Deni cosmos play an influence on their marriage practices
