The Hunter and the Jaguar, or the story of a man who survived a jaguar attack . . . by thrusting his fl ute into the feline’s anus. From an anthropological perspective, this short children’s story told by Loida Ángel Ruiz is a somewhat atypical sample of Tikuna verbal art. Tikuna narratives are more often myths or legends than fi ctitious, essentially recreational stories like this one. From the point of view of discourse analysis, on the other hand, the story displays an excellent sample of the most fundamental grammatical and stylistic resources used in narrative discourse in Tikuna, an isolate (?) language from northwestern Amazonia.
