Fieldwork Experience

Twenty‑five months of intensive fieldwork among the Suyá Indians of northern Mato Grosso, Brazil, where I employed traditional methods of participant observation. This included fifteen months in the pre‑doctoral stage (1970‑1973) and the remainder in shorter visits in 1976, 1978, 1981, 1982, 1994,1995, 1996, 1997, 2001, 2003.

Five months of fieldwork in the State of Espirito Santo, Brazil 1977‑79.

Two months engaged in a survey of the Brazilian Indian societies of the upper Juruá River in the State of Acre, Brazil, 1977. The purpose of the survey was to propose the demarcation of Indian lands in that part of the state.

Six weeks engaged in survey research as part of an evaluation of the projects of the Centro de Trabalho Indigenista, 1983. This included on site visits to the Guarani, Terena, Kraho, and Kiriri.

Nine and one‑half years of residence in Brazil between 1970 and 1982. Although Brazilian society was not one of my research interests, the period in Brazil provided a perspective on many aspects of that country.

Research on the independent recording industry, rights to intellectual property, the structure of ethnographic recordings, and other topics during twelve years partially devoted to directing a record company, commercially distributed through independent distribution system.
