The Yukana is a group of Indians speaking normally within their family the Yukuna, an Arawakan
language. These natives are distinguished into five descent groups. The first group considers itself as the
“True Yukuna" in Yukuna, whose ancestors are at the origin of the contemporary Yukuna language.
During September and October many dances and chants take place to celebrate the abundance of food
and fish of the season, and from November to December households meet for two days and nights to
dance the peach-palm ritual, in which dozens of masked men in bark-cloth costumes ritually sing and
theatrically represent the animals with whom they share the fruit. Masks, and the decoration of objects
encode icons of cultural identity. Many of the new iconic elements of the material culture are seen in
dreams before they are manufactured.
