Abstract

This article presents a commented analysis of the Ikpeng narrative Puron Mïran ‘Frog Story’, told by Ayre Txicão and registered in 2009. Ikpeng is a Carib language, spoken by the homonymous people who live in the state of Mato Grosso, in the middle Xingu region. The narrative consists of the Ikpeng people’s explanation for the fi rst appearance of the frog. Additionally, the text refers to women’s dietary restrictions during their menstrual periods. In this specifi c case, one menstruating woman’s transgression of a food taboo caused her to transform into the fi rst frog, the consequence of her indiscretion.
