==[[Abipones|ABIPONES]]==, a nation of barbarous Indians, of | ||
the province and government of [[Tucuman]], in- | ||
habiting the s. shores of the river Berraejo. Their | ||
number once exceeded 100,000 ; but they are cer- | ||
tainly at present much reduced. They go naked, | ||
except that the women cover themselves with little' | ||
skins, prettily ornamented, which they call quey- | ||
api. They are very good swimmers, of a lofty | ||
and robust stature, and well featured : but they | ||
paint their faces and the rest of their body, and are | ||
very much given to Avar, which they carry on | ||
chiefly against such as come either to hunt or to | ||
fish upon their territory. Their victims they have | ||
a custom of sticking upon lofty poles, as a land- | ||
mark, or by way of intimidation to their enemies. | ||
From their infancy they cut and scarify their | ||
bodies, to make themselves hardy. When their | ||
country is inundated, which happens in the five | ||
winter months, they retire to live in the islands, or | ||
upon the tops of trees : they have some slight no- | ||
tion of agriculture, but they live by fishing, and | ||
the produce of the chase, holding in the highest | ||
estimation the flesh of tigers, which they divide | ||
among their relations, as a sort of precious relic or | ||
dainty ; also asserting that it has the properties of | ||
infusing strength and valour. They have no know- | ||
ledge either of God, of law, or of policy ; bat they | ||
believe in the immortality of the soul, and that | ||
there is a land of consummate bliss, where they | ||
shall dance and divert themselves after their death. | ||
When a man dies, his Avidow observes a state of | ||
celibacy, and fasts a year, which consists in an ab- | ||
stinence from fish ; this period being fulfilled, an | ||
assembly run out to meet her, and inform her that | ||
her husband has given her leave to marry. The | ||
Avomen occupy themselves in spinning and sevi'ing | ||
hides ; the men are idlers, and the boys run about | ||
thcAvholeday in exercisingtheirstrength. The men | ||
are much addicted to drunkenness, and then the | ||
women are accustomed to conceal their husband’s | ||
Aveapons, for fear of being killed. They do not rear | ||
more than tivo or three children, killing all above | ||
this number. | ||
