Abstract

This bilingual catalog (Waiwai and Portuguese) is the result of the collaborative project, "Heritage and Territoriality: Past, Present, and Future Perceptions among the Tacana, Tsimane', Mosetén, and Waiwai." It contains images and information on 312 artifacts held in two European museums: the Museum of World Culture in Gothenburg and the Museum of Ethnology in Dresden. These materials were obtained in the early nineteenth century and at various times throughout the twentieth century. One of the project goals was to engage the Waiwai community, ensuring access to cultural materials belonging to their ancestors that have long been kept far from their territories, and to create a meaningful digital bridge connecting the community with these collections.
