This paper shows the Kaiapo videomaking as a process of cultural mediation, especially concerning the mediation between Kaiapo and Brazilian societies. The author focuses on the difference between the ethnographic films and the videos made by Indians themselves. The article also discusses the uses of the Kaiapo notion of representation in the videomaking process. It debates with some of the post-modernist antluopologists denying the idea that "representation " is a western project. The author discusses the ideas of cultural hybridization, the Kaiapo objectifying their own culture as ethnic identity in a strategic process of relating to the national societyDownloads
