Abstract The Mundurucu live in the Brazilian states of Pará and Amazonas. Mundurucu subsistence focuses on agriculture supplemented with hunting and fishing. There are two groups of Mundurucu who live in the basins of two major tributaries of the Amazon, the Tapajós and Madeira rivers. The Río Tapajós group is the geographical focus of this collection of sixteen documents. The temporal focus is on the period of 1952-1953 when Robert and Yolanda Murphy did their field work in the area, and 1979-1981 when Burkhalter did his study of the Mundurucu. The eight studies by the Murphys comprise the major portion of this file and cover a wide range of ethnographic topics relevant to the Mundurucu. The document by Burkhalter and Murphy describes socio-cultural changes that have taken place in Mundurucu society from the end of the Murphy's field work to that of Burkhalter's. Historical depth to the file is provided in the works of Tocantins and Martius, both of which provide brief ethnographic summaries of the Mundurucu for the nineteenth century.
