content: Ethnographic film documents the señalada, a ritual of earmarking sheep and goats, during Carnival in the town of Juella in the Humahuaca Canyon, Jujuy Province, Argentina. The ritual has Incan origins and is performed in honor of Pachamama (Mother Earth). The film was shot in February 1968 and released in 1969. In 1996, Prelorán updated the titles and credits and may have recorded a new narration or re-edited the film.
