Native American Indian Cultures - Matis Indians
Hands Around the World
Indian Cultures from Around the World
Matis Indians
Area: Vale do Javari, Brazil (Map)
Population: 239 (2000)
Language Root: Pano
First Contact: 1976
Economy: Hunting and Fishing
Today: Isolated
Early explorers confused the Matis as belonging to the Mayoruna or Marubo. There is
little chance that the Matis had avoided earlier contact. Their facial ornaments
are a mystical homage to the Jaguar. The blow gun used by the Matis is accurate
up to thirty meters. They can kill a hummingbird in flight that has a defense
reaction of 1/20th of a second. Due to minimal contact, there is very little
known about the Matis. Small masks are used in a ritual for children. This
tradition was stopped for many years as the Matis felt their population
dwindling. Recently they started to produce them again.
The
Matis are masters of curare. Of the Amazon groups that use it, each have their
own magical method for making this venom. Curare arrived in the Old World on the
tongues of a thousand legends and tales. First known as "Wourali", it
was brought to Queen Elizabeth by Sir Walter Raleigh in 1584. It was Charles
Waterton (1782-1865) who introduced curare to our medical world. Today the
synthetic is used on a daily basis as an anesthesia around the world. It is one
of the greatest contributions and gifts given by the Amazon Indians.
