<p>This narrative tells the story of a liaison between a deer spirit and a woman, and<br> the troubles that came of it. The tale is one of many stories told by the Hupd’äh,<br> who live in the Vaupés region, straddling the border of Brazil and Colombia. Hup, the language of the Hupd’äh (lit. ‘person-pl’) belongs to the small<br> Naduhup family (formerly known as Makú; see Epps &amp; Bolaños 2017); the speak-<br> ers of the four Naduhup languages inhabit the interfluvial zones south of the<br> Vaupés River and the middle Rio Negro. The approximately 2000 Hupd’äh live<br> in communities ranging from a few families to several hundred people, located<br> between the Vaupés and the Tiquié Rivers.</p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p>This dataset contains the mediafiles.
