Description: "Ethnography of the Curripaco, a northern Arawak people of the Colombian Amazon, about whom little has been published. Author presents their vision of society as a continuation of the myth of origin of clans, initiation rites, and agriculture, in contrast to a prior state of war, hunting, and forest-dwelling existence. The Curripaco hold these two mythical visions of life-in-society and their relations with nature"--Handbook of Latin American Studies, v. 57.
