"Alrededor de ochocientos indios Karaja viven aún en las orillas de la isla Bananal en medio del río Araguaia, en el centro del Brasil. Ellos han mantenido un contacto pacífico con la civilización occidental desde hace aproximadamente cien años, pero a pesar de todo mantienen gran parte de sus antiguas tradiciones. Durante la temporada de sequía, de mayo a octubre, ellos erigen aldeas de verano compuestas por ligeras casas de paja sobre las inmensas playas de arena blanca y suave, llevando a cabo por las tardes sus sagrados ritos de fertilidad con sus máscaras emplumadas coloridas y sus faldones de paja..."

"At one time the area or Central and South America was the home of diverse Indian cultures and civilizations ranging from the nomadic hunters of Tierra del Fuego and Patagonia, to the river and forest peoples of the Amazon, to the military empires of the Andes and Central Mexico, to the theocratic states of southern Mexico and Guatemala. Many of the peoples that once inhabited these lands today are extinct or on the verge of extinction. Others have been assimilated into the dominant European culture and have given up the traditional ways. Perhaps the largest number though have remained, almost if in historical limbo, conquered but not assimilated..."

"Hubo un tiempo en el que el área de Centro y Sur América fue el hogar de varias culturas indígenas: comprendía a los cazadores-recolectores de Tierra del Fuego y la Patagonia, a los pueblos que habitaban los ríos y selvas del Amazonas, a los imperios militares de los Andes y el centro de México y a los estados teocráticos de Guatemala y el sur de México. Muchas de las culturas que una vez habitaron estas tierras están hoy extintas o en el camino de extinguirse. Otras han sido asimiladas dentro de la cultura europea dominante y abandonado sus prácticas tradicionales. Pero quizás la mayoría ha permanecido en una especie de limbo histórico, conquistados pero no asimilados..."
