The Roncador Mountains at West
Serra do Roncador ao Poente tells the original myth of the Xavante people who inhabit the central-western part of Brazil. The protagonist is Diogo Juruna who leads us through sites where cave paintings of the Xavante clans resist today. The paintings materialize the spirits they defend when "civilization" again turns against them and their lands. The moving episode of the death of Colonel Pimentel Barbosa, which occurred in 1941, is told by the Xavante. The language and the land consolidate the importance of culture and the warrior-like attitude of the rituals of courage and firmness with which the Xavante defend their rights.
