Talk:Kayapo

Start classification
I have classified this article as a start. However, it needs to be sourced and it can be expanded as well. Capitalistroadster 10:08, 2 June 2007 (UTC)

I agree that this article is a start. There is much more information on the Kayapo as of recent so this article can definitely be expanded. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Stlius (talk • contribs) 17:20, 19 December 2016 (UTC)

Small edit of unrelated content needed
Hi, I apologize because I have never done anything with Wikipedia other than read its pages, but there's some funny text in this entry that people may want to clean up one of these days. It's at the bottom of the entry and quite obvious.

Okay, now I'm trying to sign my post according to the instructions. Hope I'm doing all this appropriately.--217.205.81.209 (talk) 16:36, 14 October 2009 (UTC)


 * I assume you're referring to "One of their traditions is that when the children go through puberty they are given an acholic drink and then the people rip their hair out. This is happens to the boys and girls. After this it then just grows back."
 * I agree that it seems to be nonsense, and it's written poorly enough that I suspect vandalism. I yanked it, and it should not be restored without some kind of citation.

Uncontacted people category
I navigated here from the 'uncontacted people' category. Inclusion in that category doesn't seem to be appropriate, given the article content, e.g. a contract with The Body Shop. Are there subgroups that are uncontacted? --Elliskev 01:11, 23 April 2012 (UTC)

The Kayapo are know because they are one of the most widely contacted indigenous groups that interact a lot with the outside world. It doesn't seem to be correct to say they are uncontacted even if there are a few possible subgroups that are uncontacted — Preceding unsigned comment added by Stlius (talk • contribs) 17:18, 19 December 2016 (UTC)

"Government Corruption"
"'Government corruption continues to weaken the resistance efforts of the indigenous and opposition forces within the government.'"

The accompanying citation does not make any reference to government corruption. Is there any other source for this? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 184.175.21.135 (talk) 01:36, 26 February 2013 (UTC)
