Absperren einer Lagune des Flusses, Vergiften des Wassers durch Zerfasern von giftigen Lianen, Einsammeln der toten Fische und Schießen auf die betäubten Fische mit Pfeil und Bogen.

Demonstration of a common method of catching fish in the Xingu area: Entrances to a lagoon have been blocked off with branches. Yaulapiti men stand in a semicircle in the water and shake bundles of liana vines in the water. After a few hours, the poison from the liana juice takes effect, and stunned fish rise to the surface where they are collected. In the meantime, men teach some of the older children how to shoot with bow and arrow.
