Description: "Examines ritual, cosmology, and ecology of the U'wa, a Chibcha-speaking people of the Andean region in northeastern Colombia. Provides a fascinating demonstration of the intimate and consistent relations among U'wa sung mythic narratives, the ritual celebrations of which are determined by seasonal movements, and by human life cycle and subsistence activities in three distinct Andean environments. Extensive use of sung narratives and exegeses"--Handbook of Latin American Studies, v. 57.
Notes: Includes bibliographical references (p. 267-269).
