- W40516704 abstract "Census and ethnographic information were used to explain population change between 1970 and 1988 among the Canela population of Ramkokamekra living at Escalvado in northeast Brazil. The first ethnographic evidence was collected by William Crocker in 1957. An official census was conducted in 1970 and was followed by censuses in 1975, 1979, and 1988. The Canela were exposed to white contact in 1750, but their geographic location in the hills made settler contact minimal between 1840 and 1940. In 1963, after attacks on the cattle of the backlanders, the Canela were moved to the Guajajara Indian reservation at Sardinha, and eventually were returned to their homeland. Society was matrilocal and matrilateral; during the study period, mortality declined and the population became younger. Fertility remained stable because extramarital sex declined and an increase in age at marriage offset fertility-enhancing declines in breast feeding. There were improvements in health and nutrition. The crude death rate declined from 53/1000 population for 1970-75 to 29/1000 for 1975-79, and mostly affected mortality among women and children. Age distribution of the population showed changes from a young population to a population with a high proportion of young and old. The dependency ratio between 1970 and 1988 went from .84 to 1.38. A high sex ratio was evidenced, which may have been due in 1988 to the need for old-age pensions. Marriage was matrilocal and endogamous to the tribe. Divorce and separation increased over time, but was still low, particularly for men. Multiple sex partners made certain that women did not remain childless. Adult female status was achieved when childbirth occurred. Young husbands joined their wives in the maternal household, which reduced extramarital relations. When a mother died, the child was secure in having a home with her mother's mother or her mother's sister. The arrival of health services in 1970 and an anthropologist trained nurse led to better treatment for tuberculosis and improvements in health, particularly alcohol misuse. A missionary couple in 1968 added new wells for improved sanitation. The Canela, having been influenced by the backlanders on whom they depended for economic support and by the Indian service, have gradually been moving toward a more rigid and Western definition of sex roles, greater disapproval of homosexuality, and less extramarital sex." @default.
