Abstract
Kulina cosmology legitimates the monopoly of the mystical means of reproduction by male shamans and leaders. This control is accompanied by a degree of manipulation of female sexuality and reproduction by shamanic and other means. It is also correlated with a hierarchical division of labour in which men are primary providers, and leaders are paradigmatic providers. This calls into question the commonly angelic or neo‐Rousseauist vision of the indigenous societies of the Amazon as egalitarian.
