ANNUAL CYCLE OF ACTIVITIES
Two natural phenomena define the Bororo annual cycle of activities. The occurrence or absence of rain divide the year into two seasons: Joru Butu (dry) and Butao Butu (rainy). The absence of the constellation of the Pleiad, Akiri-doge, from the night sky, which lasts about a month, marks the passage between the Akiri-doge Èwure Kowudu (dry season ceremonies) and the Kuiada Paru (rainy season ceremonies).
