Kauyumari

There are two paradigms that need to be consider when studying indigenous
groups in Latin America: all groups have cultural singularities, yet they share
mythological values. The main difference with non-indigenous cultures is a
cosmological one and it is represented in almost all the native religions: for
indigenous groups the universe is connected by rites, dreams, visions, and in
particular the work shamans do for this to happen. These ideas are depicted in
the (poster, banner) entitled Kauyumary, in which the traditional image of a
shaman and other elements are portrayed; the dancing of the shaman signifies
a moment of celebration. The fire represents the beginning of life, the world
order, and indigenous folklore. The organic decoration in the background
represents nature. The movie camara (creo queda major video camara) honors
Latino filmmakers.
