The smell of the damp earth is mixed with the sweet perfume of pequi, and Kuikuro filmmakers give us a re-enactment of the story of the fruit. Pequi, with its sexual and reproductive symbolic meanings, used to belong to the alligator, but a man named Marika killed him out of jealousy when he found out that his wives have been unfaithful to him, and the hummingbird is now in charge of the pequi. The video interweaves this story with the celebration of the Hugagu festival, which involves singing, dancing, and the making of wooden bird sculptures, as well as explanations of the importance of pequi. The Scent of Pequi Fruit shows a Kuikuro attitude about sexuality that is frank and playful.<br /><br />Visit <a href="https://store.der.org/kuikuro-takum-c579all.aspx">Kuikuro, Takum&atilde;</a> to see additional products in this category.</div> https://store.der.org/ngun-el-p586.aspx Product586 Tue, 28 Aug 2018 14:11:00 GMT <div style="float:left"><a class="url" href="https://store.der.org/ngun-el-p586.aspx"><img src="//cdn.nexternal.com/der/images/ngune-elu.jpg" alt="Nguné Elü" border="0" hspace="3"></a></div><span class="riRssTitle"><a href="https://store.der.org/ngun-el-p586.aspx">Nguné Elü</a></span><br><a href="https://store.der.org/ngun-el-p586.aspx">Buy Now:</a> <span color="#990000"><b>$295.00</b></span> <br /><br /><div><div>During a video workshop in the Kuikuro village in the Upper Xingu, a lunar eclipse takes place, bringing mysterious consequences. Everything is turned upside-down as the male moon menstruates. It is time for purifying practices such as scarifying the skin, inducing vomiting and wrestling. Shamans cure the body pains brought about by the eclipse, while women sing songs about sexuality and gender, relating the moon's menstruation to their own.</div><div><br /></div><div><div><b>Films in the <a href="https://store.der.org/video-in-the-villages-indigenous-video-makers-series-p947.aspx">Indigenous Video Makers</a> series</b></div><div><a href="https://store.der.org/dancing-with-a-dog-p854.aspx">Dancing with a Dog</a><br /><a href="https://store.der.org/from-the-ikpeng-children-to-the-world-p837.aspx">From the Ikpeng Children to the World</a><br /><a href="https://store.der.org/kinja-iakaha-a-day-in-the-village-p717.aspx">Kinja Iakaha, A Day in the Village</a><br /><a href="https://store.der.org/the-living-forest-p685.aspx">The Living Forest</a><br /><a href="https://store.der.org/moyngo-p643.aspx">Moyngo</a><br /><a href="https://store.der.org/ngun-el-p586.aspx">Nguné Elü</a><br /><a href="https://store.der.org/one-must-be-curious-p553.aspx">One Must Be Curious</a><br /><a href="https://store.der.org/a-path-to-live-p496.aspx">A Path to Live</a><br /><a href="https://store.der.org/the-rainy-season-p490.aspx">The Rainy Season</a><br /><a href="https://store.der.org/shomtsi-p413.aspx">Shomõtsi</a><br /><a href="https://store.der.org/trainees-for-the-future-p345.aspx">Trainees for the Future</a><br /><a href="https://store.der.org/wapt-mnhn-the-xavantes-initiation-p240.aspx">Wapté Mnhõnõ, The Xavante's Initiation</a><br /><a href="https://store.der.org/wai-rini-the-power-of-the-dream-p236.aspx">Wai'á Rini, The Power of the Dream</a></div></div><br /><br />Visit <a href="https://store.der.org/kuikuro-takum-c579all.aspx">Kuikuro, Takum&atilde;</a> to see additional products in this category.</div>
