STORYLINE:
Indigenous group Tembé commemorated the week-long Wyra'whaw coming-of-age festival, a centennial tradition that the older generations rely on to maintain their cultural heritage.
 
The festival marks the start of adult life for boys and girls that entered puberty since last year’s ritual. For a week, they dance and sing in the Ramada ritual center.
 
On Saturday, mothers paint their children with Jenipapo, a fruit that tints the skin black. On Sunday, they are decorated with feathers and necklaces, and celebrate with visiting indigenous groups. A centennial tradition that the older generations rely on maintaining their cultural heritage.
 
“We know of other ethnic (indigenous) groups in Brazil that have already lost their culture, their tradition, their language. So we have this concern. That’s why we keep doing our rituals, so we don’t lose our language and our culture,” said chief Sérgio Muti Tembé.
 
 
 
The festival also happens amid the Supreme Court's renewed deliberations that could establish a precedent altering claims to ancestral territories.
