About the rite
Among the Iny, also known as the Karajá, in Brazil, boys learn the conduct and responsibilities of adult men through Hetohoky. Men guide the boys through this extended rite, and relatives and other villagers take part.
Brazil’s Indigenous affairs agency recorded a Hetohoky ceremony in Tocantins in March 2024.
