Walker Percy: A Documetary Film
Synopsis
The European priests who evangelized to the Brazilian Tarainos encouraged them to cast off their symbols and rituals and suppressed the continuation of Taraino indigenous knowledge. The Taranino are now reaffirming their cultural heritage by rebuilding places of worship recovering ritual decorations from museums, and registering sacred sites such as the Waterfall of the Jaguars.
