Bakairi mythology is very rich, with many elements in common to upper Xingu mythology. It narrates the origin of the world, of the twin demiurges, the rivers, the day and night, the sun, as well as the transferral of goods that belonged to the animal world- among them, manioc, the hammock – to the Bakairi. The great rituals of kado remember, through chants, the essential part of this process, as though recreating the world.
