Brazil's Kayapo Amerindians, until recently one of the most feared peoples of the Amazon region, raided Brazilian settlements as late as 1978. Now they are known for ethnic political demonstrations in Brazilian cities as well as their agricultural sophistication in managing Amazonian rainforest resources. The Kayapo have a strong sense of indentity, tradition, and culture which they successfully manipulate on behalf of the struggle for indigenous rights. How their cultural knowledge and sense of identity are transmitted from generation to generation, is the focus of this ethnographic study.Subjects--Topical Terms:

520 $a Brazil's Kayapo Amerindians, until recently one of the most feared peoples of the Amazon region, raided Brazilian settlements as late as 1978. Now they are known for ethnic political demonstrations in Brazilian cities as well as their agricultural sophistication in managing Amazonian rainforest resources. The Kayapo have a strong sense of indentity, tradition, and culture which they successfully manipulate on behalf of the struggle for indigenous rights. How their cultural knowledge and sense of identity are transmitted from generation to generation, is the focus of this ethnographic study.
520 $a The Kayapo recognize two broad knowledge domains, the general and the traditional. General knowledge, associated with life's daily routines and skills, is transmitted in the everyday setting, which includes parent and child transactions. Identity, person-defining, traditional knowledge is primarily transmitted in the ritual setting, and reinforced during ceremonial events when various village locations are temporarily transformed into ritual space. Indigenous education in these separate educational settings provides the basis for a Kayapo "dialectic of personhood".
520 $a Indigenous Kayapo education is learner-initiated and learner-centered, yet each person is ultimately responsible to pass on to certain others what has been received. Ritual-centered relationships, operating within and beyond the context of a ceremonial event, play a major role in the transmission of social, person-defining knowledge, without which the Kayapo individual is considered incomplete. The educational processes of ritual events are compared with Western secondary schooling.
520 $a Nontraditional knowledge enters the village through contact with the outside world. It is a rapidly expanding domain which is clearly separated from, and presents a challenge to, the integrated traditional knowledge system, causing inter-generational tension.
520 $a This case study, bridging the disciplines of education and Anthropology, is based upon eleven month's of fieldwork in a Kayapo village, augmented by the author's twenty years of literacy promotion with Brazil's indigenous peoples. It is presented as a model for describing dynamic processes of indigenous cultural transmission and acquisition.
