Der schöne Name

Family tour from 6 years in the America Room with Bettina Ulrich

The life of indigenous families on the Amazon, the longest river in the world, is characterized by work and cultural events. Almost every child of the Kayapo, an indigenous community in south-western Amazonia, is given a beautiful name in addition to their first name, which is celebrated in elaborate ceremonies with the whole village. In our small presentation, we can see some of the objects associated with this.
