Eastern Bororo Space-Time: Structure, Process and Precise Knowledge Among a Native Brazilian People

This work examines the time reckoning practices and concepts of the Bororo Indians of Brazil, the relevance of time to space, and the manner in which these interests are related to social organization. At issue is an alleged ad hoc and imprecise character of native time reckoning and the tendency to eschew the important correlation of these facets of culture.
