The Axé, or Guayaki, are a nomadic culture with a clear gender division in labor, where men hunt and women manage domestic tasks. This division is symbolized by the bow and the basket, representing masculine and feminine roles, respectively, with strict taboos governing their use. Additionally, the cultural structure is supported by concepts of reciprocity, polyandry, and the unique role of language in expressing individuality and social bonds.
