The Waura, also known as the Wauja, are an indigenous Arawak-speaking people residing in the Upper Xingu region of the Amazon rainforest in Mato Grosso, Brazil. Feathers are integral to the Waura body adornment. Elaborate feather crowns or headbands are worn by men during dances and rituals.
For the Wauja, the feathers of birds are their ‘clothing.’ After being killed, the birds are ‘undressed’ (plucked). Their plumes, having become ‘leftovers,’ will go to make up one or more adornments, mixing feathers from different birds, in compliance with the patterns of visual composition. In the case of human beings, the concept of feather adornments is conceptually similar to clothing. Featherwork is a vital element in many rituals. The Waura tribe has characteristic headdresses, often made of feathers of parrots or other colourful birds such as macaws. In this particular case, they make use of the colours yellow and orange in a skillful way that only true artists could achieve. Waura artisans collect feathers from vibrant Amazonian birds such as macaws, toucans, parrots, and hummingbirds. These are meticulously cleaned, dyed with natural pigments (e.g., from genipap fruit for black or urucu seeds for red), and woven or attached using cotton threads or plant fibers. Feathers are integral to Waura body adornment, serving not just as decorative elements but as embodiments of aesthetic ideals, social status, and ritual efficacy. Adornment is a daily and ceremonial practice for the Waura, transforming the body into a canvas of joy, identity, and cosmic connection.

The Wauja (or Waura) Indians, inhabiting the Xingu region in Brazil, have a rich shamanic tradition. The shaman exercises control over the relations between the village and the supernatural world: he regulates the relations between men and the spirits that inhabit the waters and forest.
The rattle gives the shaman his powers for a particular ritual. The rattle has a spirit inside it that casts away fatal spirits. The rattle he is holding in his hand is called a gourd rattle. The rattle is made of a gourd and wood with little stones inside of it. Bamboo stamping tubes are valued percussion instruments. Indians of the Waura tribe imitate fish in the river as a dance to worship happiness and freedom. The continued use of traditional instruments like the bamboo stamping tubes helps the Wauja maintain their cultural identity and connection to their ancestors. To accompany the chant, the shaman uses rattles, instruments of great therapeutic effect.

Feathers and body painting are expressions of beauty that contribute decisively to the production of joy in their rituals and festivals. Indigenous body painting is highly developed among the Xingu native tribes. The men's hair is coloured red with a paste made from seeds of the annatto (urucum) tree. A black dye is made from fruit of the genipap (genipapo) tree. The butterfly design is a common theme in the Xingu and abstract swallowtail butterfly designs can be seen on both the face and chest. Female body painting is also ubiquitous in the Xingu region with both women and girls commonly decorating their bodies with various natural pigments and dyes. Indians of the Waura tribe imitate fish in the river as a dance to worship happiness and freedom. In addition to the richness of their material culture, the Waura possess a complex and fascinating mytho-cosmology. The links between animals, things, humans, and extra-human beings, permeate their conception of the world and form crucial aspects of their shamanic practices.

"Mirror, mirror, in the hand, who's the fairest in the land?"
"Celestial Nymphs." Nineteen-year-old "Oun Sopheaktra" and seventeen-year-old "Srey Leak" are reflected in the mirrors as they apply their makeup. They have been training in classical dance since the age of nine. Their transformation into "celestial maidens" is about to begin. Trained in Thai classical dance, twenty-six-year-old Prowrave Chinkamol undergoes the long ritual of getting ready. She uses her handheld mirror to apply eye makeup. Prowrave Chinkamol has trained in Thai classical dance since the age of six. "People Of The Taboo" At the end of the rainy season in September, Wodaabe clans gather in several traditional locations, before the beginning of their dry season migration. The best known of these is In-Gall's Cure Salée salt market, and Tuareg seasonal festival. Here the young Wodaabe men, with elaborate make-up, feathers, and other adornments, perform the Yaake: dances, and songs, to impress marriageable women. The male beauty ideal of the Wodaabe stresses tallness, white eyes, and teeth; the men will often roll their eyes, and show their teeth to emphasize these characteristics. Wodaabe clans then join for the remainder of the week-long Guérewol, a series of barters over marriage and contests, where the young men's beauty and skills are judged by young women. In addition to the richness of their material culture, the Waura possess a complex and fascinating mytho-cosmology. The links between animals, things, humans, and extra-human beings permeate their conception of the world and form crucial aspects of their shamanic practices. The body painting expresses the role of the individual, both in everyday life and in the spiritual life. Waura Village, Xingu, Brazil.

No Território Indígena do Xingu, a música e dança fazem parte do cotidiano e são importantes instrumentos de luta contra tentativas de apagamento cultural. “Sem música não tem dança, não tem ritual, não tem cultura”, explica Piratá Waurá, fotógrafo e cineasta do povo Wauja.

This jaguar stool has a documented lineage. A major reference is the BEI collection, which catalogues hundreds of Indigenous Brazilian stools. The form originates in zoomorphic stools used in ritual, authority and cosmological contexts by groups such as the Xingu, Mehinaku, Waurá, Kamayurá, Karajá
