In research on this talk, drawing on #ReichelDolmatoff's classic #Tukano ethnography, 'Amazonian Cosmos', Chris came across this excellent blog from @TootTropiques back in 2012. This discusses Reichel-Dolmatoff's #Nazi history in relation to his enormous contributions to #Colombian #anthropology and #Indigenous rights. Many anthropologists have taken inspiration from his work.
