Abstract:
The Ticuna Collection documents, all of them in English, cover cultural, economic and environmental information circa 1941 to 1995. Two of these documents are produced by Curt Nimuendaju, a German anthropologist who conducted ethnographic fieldwork among the Ticuna in 1935 and 1941-1942 on behalf of University of California. The documents vary in size, and coverage. One is a larger monograph describing economic activities, aspects of material culture, personality character and social life, social organization (largely focusing on clans and moieties), art, religion and magic. The other is a brief over view of Ticuna culture originally published in the Handbook of South American Indians. Together, these works provide a well rounded first hand account of Ticuna culture and society as observed by the author. The document by Hammond, Dolman and Watkinson discusses the ways the Ticuna adaptively transformed their traditional swidden-fallow land use practices to make advantage of emerging market opportunities in timber and forest products
