Description

In the 1960s the anthropologist Pierre Clastres spent a year with a so-called "savage" tribe of Indians in Paraguay. This is his account of that experience, describing the tribe's daily life and habits, ritual and cosmology - and the anger which caused them to start murdering their own children.
