Abstract

The Kaingangs (Caingangues),a South American Indian tribe belonging to the linguistic group of the G6 are believed to number about 5000 at the present time; they live in small groups scattered over a wide area including the north of the Argentine and the Brazilian states of SLo Paulo, Parana, S. Catharine and Rio Grande do Sul. Until recently they were semi-nomadic hunters and food gatherers, but their mode of life is now in a state of transition. About 26 families of this people numbering approximately 150 individuals have for some time been living in isolation in a forest reserve near the Posto Fierovante Esperanct (Lontraa) of the Servicio de hs ProtecLo dos Indios near Palmas, State of Parana. T i group haa previously been described and sampled for the ABO group (Fernandes, 1941). I n spite of nominal Christianity the tribe still practices patrilineal exogamy. A child is born either into the Kame or the Kadnieru sub-tribe according to the father or the home where it grows up. The man remains in his sub-tribe but the girl changes on marriage to her husband’s group. Husband and wife must not belong to the same sub-tribe. These practices eliminate (in
