content: Series 1 consists of Kracke's research material into the Parintintin and other indigenous cultures of South America. It documents his doctoral field work among the Parintintin in the late 1960s, as well as his return visits to Brazil in the 1970s, 1980s, and 1990s. This research largely documents Parintintin culture, society, cosmology, and language. Of note are interviews with the Parintintin informants Paulinho (a Parintintin chief) and Catarina (his wife), whose insights contributed substantially to Kracke's later published writings. Included in this series are research materials on the rights of Brazilian indigenous populations, with files documenting his research supporting the demarcation of the Área Indígena Parintintin for the Fundação Nacional do Índio (FUNAI) in the 1980s. Also included in this series is one box of material documenting Kracke's pre-doctoral field research in the wine-producing village of Chanzeaux in Maine-et-Loire, France in 1962 with Harvard undergraduate alumni and Professor Laurence Wylie.

The material in this series includes correspondence; field diaries; genealogies; interview transcripts; language texts and dictionaries; maps and charts; news articles and clippings; notes; photographic prints, negatives, slides, and digital images; reports (relatórios); and sketches, drawings, and paintings.
