Résumé
Edited film shot on an expedition to the Mato Grosso of Brazil. Film documents various aspects of daily and ceremonial life in the Bororo village of Bobore on the Paraguay River west of Cuiaba. The film was made in the course of an ostensive attempt to rescue British explorer Colonel Percy Fawcett and his son who disappeared on the Xingu River. Shots of historical and ethnographic interest include: Aloha Baker meeting with General Candido Rondon in Rio de Janeiro, rail travel from Sao Paulo to Corumba, boats landing and the expedition plane taking off and landing at the Descalvados ranch, a first contact scenario with Bororo of Bobore village, reception by the chief and male villagers in front of the baitemannageo (men's house), palaver and gift-giving through the chief, adornment for ceremonial dances which includes face and body painting with urucu and wearing of spectacular headdresses of macaw feathers, food preparation (women winnowing and pounding grain), Aloha Baker with a bari (shaman), a sequestered male ceremonial dance (associated with the dual social and cosmological organization of Ge-speaking tribes), and two Bororo men experiencing couvade (sympathetic labor pains).
