This is the message as the crawl holds it, before anything here touched it. What the conversation shows has been through ingest: transfer encodings decoded, attachments dropped, quote markers repaired, and the archiver’s ? resolved into quotation marks and dashes. Those repairs are judgements and some of them are wrong, which is what this page is for. Email addresses are obscured here as they are everywhere else on the site, so it is before our repairs rather than byte for byte.

It certainly has mystical associations for the Carajas and some connection
to the game or dance of capoeirado, although links are in Portugese or
non-existant...After my research (it was a slow day at work) I personally
believe that the similarity in name between our flyers and the obscure name
of a rather prosaic domesticated bird to be
coincidence.

I'm a little sorry to find out it's not a crypto-zoological creature. You're
probably right. It probably has nothing to do with Lupine Inhuma, but I'm
still going to make it a long-term goal to learn what "mystical
associations" they bore for the Carajas.
