[edit] Tribe
I've removed the following section. It should be put into a separate article. --Nanouk 08:24, 8 December 2005 (UTC)
- The Canela are also an indigenous Amazonian tribe that separate their tribe into moities, or kinship groups. There are Red and Black moities within the Canela village which aid the people in separating themselves sexually. A most prevalant aspect of the Canela society are the extramarital sex acts that occur between men and women of different moities. Primarily, the rituals are designed to satisfy the sexual urges of the men, but women (as long as they comply with engaging in the acts) have control over the give and take of sexual acts. As far as interviews have been able to tell us, little sexual pleasure is given to the women of the tribe during these acts, yet the intimacy that the Canela share with one another rivals any kind of societal intimacy we might strive for in the West. It is thought that perhaps these extramarital acts provide for a more egalitarian society.
