518    Originally produced by Documentary Educational Resources 
       in 1995. 
520    This is a four-part documentary about the Yakwa, the most 
       important ritual of the Enauene- Naue Indians of Brazil. 
       For seven months every year, the spirits are venerated 
       with offerings of food, song and dance so they will 
       protect the community. The World Outside the Rock - The 
       Yakwa festivities open with the Enauene-Naue preparing for
       the big fish-catch by making salt, canoes and fish traps. 
       Fearing the spirits, the Indians make new flutes, and 
       explain their sacred significance. Dataware's Revenge - 
       For two months, the men leave the village in groups and 
       build dams on forest waterways to catch fish as they 
       return from spawning. Xinare, the village elder, tells the
       myth of time in which a dam spontaneously builds itself, 
       until one day Dataware, a civilizing hero, decides to take
       revenge of the fish. Harikare : The Spirit's Host - After 
       the fish-catch, everyone returns with smoked fish that 
       will be offered to the spirits and eaten by the villagers 
       until the end of the ritual. The stormy entrance of the 
       spirits into the village begins the most intense and 
       spectacular phase of the ceremony. The Little Cassava Girl
       - As the celebration goes on, the Indians cut down and 
       plant cassava root on the collective fields, the field of 
       the Yakwa spirit. The Indians relive the myth of the girl 
       who was buried by her mother and who transformed herself 
       into the first cassava root. Filmmaker: Virginia Valadao
