Among the Arawak-speaking Wakue?nai of southernmost Venezuela, storytellers refer to these narratives as "words from the primordial times, " and they are set in an unfinished space-time before there were any clear distinctions between humans and animals, men and women, day and night, old and young, and powerful and powerless. The central character throughout these primordial times and the ensuing developments that open up the world of distinct peoples, species, and places is a trickster-creator, Made-from-Bone, who survives a prolonged series of life-threatening attacks and ultimately defeats all his adversaries. Carefully recorded and transcribed by Jonathan D. Hill, these narratives offer scholars of South America and other areas the only ethnographically generated cosmogony of contemporary or ancient native peoples of South America. Hill includes translations of key mythic narratives along with interpretive and ethnographic discussion that expands on the myths surrounding this fascinating and enigmatic character with broad appeal throughout various folkloric traditions. 410 0$aInterpretations of culture in the new millennium. 606 $aCurripaco Indians$vFolklore 606 $aCurripaco mythology 606 $aCurripaco Indians$vSongs and music 606 $aTricksters$zVenezuela 615 0$aCurripaco Indians 615 0$aCurripaco mythology. 615 0$aCurripaco Indians 615 0$aTricksters 676 $a398.20899839 700 $aHill$b Jonathan David$f1954-$01314986 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910974087403321 996 $aMade-from-bone$94367922 997 $aUNINA
