Culture: Auca, also known as the Huaorani (Anne Underhill, September 29, 2006)

Culture Area: Eastern Ecuador, specifically the Tena area (Anne Underhill, September 29, 2006)

Date Acquired: 1966 October 8

Dimensions: 19.5 cm diameter x 14.5 cm

Donor: Mr. Robert G. Harris

General Area of the World: South America

Material: Bark, skin, wood splints, cord/twine

Outline of Cultural Materials Code: Musical Instruments = 534; Music = 533

Outline of World Cultures Code: [undetermined]

Use and Background: Huaorani means "true human beings". Often times Christians associate the Huaorani people with murder because of Jim Elliot's and four other men's deaths by the Huaorani tribe, however, many do not understand that the Huaorani's are under constant threat of being captured and eaten by 'non-Huaorani' who are the cannibal neighbors (Rival 2002:51). They often meet with other local area tribes for a festival of traditional music and dance (Meisch 1992:10). Music plays a role in society. Children of indigenous peoples often learn the musical preferences of neighboring groups in school (Miles 2000:5) The drum was used to make music as that is what musical instruments are made for.
