Abstract
Between 1929 and 1936, the German-born Brazilian anthropologist Curt Nimuendaju spent fourteen months with the Canela Indians, otherwise known as the R4mkBkamekra, a Je-speaking people on the northeastern edge of the Brazilian central plateau. A result of his studies made during six visits is the posthumously published monograph The Eastern Timbira (1946), translated from the German and edited by the late Robert Lowie. One object of my field research among these same people has been to compare the Canela R4mk6kamekra society of today with the Nimuendaju study completed twentyfive years ago in an attempt to trace the changes that have occurred in most areas of culture, using the monograph as a base line.
