the Wazare myth

The Pareci's myth of creation tells they were birth from a stone, led by a mythical hero called Wazare, which had spread them from all the land. After Wazare finished his mission distributing the Pareci People on the Pareci's Chapada, he did a big confraternization's party before going back to his world.
During this party he taught the functions from the head, from the mind,
commanding the body, and our capacity to develop intelligence while finding mental and spiritual fullness. He did it teaching the Xikunahity, the "head soccer".

>Indigenous Meeting at Betioga city.
The Pareci People live at Chapada dos Parecis, on Mato Grosso State from Brazil.
Population about 1.293, in 1999.

Another great picture and for me a new story, I am learning something new from you every day. Thank you!!
I think if people had taken some more time learning about each others backgrounds and culture, there vould bee much less problems for us to deal with.
I am trying to share alittle of what I learn from you with the people I work with every day. Your picture have made it easier, now people have started to ask questions.:)
