Interesting and fantastic publication, @josemalavem. Proud to belong to the University that has trained so many excellent researchers. I have always been fascinated by indigenous culture and have approached it through readings, but also through the oral histories told by my paternal grandmother. It is true that there is a kind of respect and fear of certain deities, elements. I remember my grandmother talking about thunder, but also about rivers, where her ancestors were, about mountains and some animals. the snake was always a unique and primitive reference. Thank you for such an excellent article.
