The Matis Indians of Brazil practice a unique ritual named the Ceremony of Mariwin. During this ritual, masked beings punish individuals who have recently misbehaved, especially women and children. To the Matis Indians, these masked beings are "ancestral spirits," yet are not human are unable to speak, only making animal-like sounds. Two seperate ceremonies are shown, one performed in Brazil and the other one in Peru. Additionally, they show how they can make fire without matches and hunt with blowguns and poison curare darts.
