Description
-
A group of Tupinambá Indigenous people stand on the shore near their village. Part of the group forms a circle, with some of the individuals holding objects resembling rattles. Three people stand in the center of the circle. Several canoes have been pulled up along the shore. In the background there are two long structures, and two individuals lounge in hammocks. There is a large fire with a wooden frame over it, upon which several human limbs have been set to roast.
