- W2402461956 abstract "Ritual is currently a central issue in Indian politics in the Amazon. Ritual implies tradition, and thus ethnic legitimacy. But to some groups, such as the Panoan-speaking Yaminawa, political and social looseness are handicaps to the invention of shared performances that are recognizable as rituals. Leadership is based both on an outward policy and an inward search for patterned, collective actions that can designate a gathering of kin and followers as an indigenous community. This article focuses on such ritual-making efforts, describing two otherwise informal parties held on a BrazilianYaminawa reservation where fieldwork was carried out in 1993. There is not much to set the Yaminawa apart from other small Nawa groups of the Jurua-Purus and Urubamba-Ucayali rivers in the southwestern Amazon. They all belong to the Panoan linguistic family, live in a dense, sparsely populated forest, subsist through hunting and agriculture, and are only marginally integrated into their respective Brazilian, Peruvian, and Bolivian national societies. Within this ethnic kaleidoscope, the several groups known as Yaminawa (also spelled Yaminahua, or faminawa) are not differentiated either linguistically or genealogically. The name 'Yaminawa' is, however, identified with political instability and a self-destructive bias toward the Western world, in marked contrast to more conservative tribes such as their Kaxinawa neigh? bours. The recent history of the Yaminawa of the Cabeceiras do Rio Acre [Headwaters of the River Acre] Indian Village is therefore commonly understood as a pre-eminent example of cultural loss.2 This view, which I have discussed in previous works (Calavia Saez 1995; 2001), is predicated on widely shared and enduring ideas about the fate of indigenous societies, but it seems to me to be defective.3 In reality, Yaminawa have many different and highly flourishing forms of social order. This rich diversity exists without there being any domestic or political authority with the power to exalt one particular social form over the others. Yaminawa life thus lacks anything akin to a traditional public arena. There is nothing like the time-honoured Panoan rituals, such as the Kaxinawas Kachanawa, the Sharanahuas 'special hunt', or the Shipibos and Kaxinawas girls' initiation ceremonies.4 Nor do the Yaminawa seem to feel the lack of such festivals." @default.
