Mohõ̀y wäd nɨ̀h pɨnɨ̀g 'Story of the Deer Spirit'

This narrative tells the story of a liaison between a deer spirit and a woman, and
the troubles that came of it. The tale is one of many stories told by the Hupd’äh,
who live in the Vaupés region, straddling the border of Brazil and Colombia. Hup, the language of the Hupd’äh (lit. ‘person-pl’) belongs to the small
Naduhup family (formerly known as Makú; see Epps & Bolaños 2017); the speak-
ers of the four Naduhup languages inhabit the interfluvial zones south of the
Vaupés River and the middle Rio Negro. The approximately 2000 Hupd’äh live
in communities ranging from a few families to several hundred people, located
between the Vaupés and the Tiquié Rivers.
