Die Hian�koto-Um�ua, first published in 1908, is Theodor Koch-Gr�nberg's illustrated account of the expedition he made together with other scientists to Northern Brazil in the years 1903-1905. The German researcher, a pioneer in the field of South American ethnology, describes his encounters with the indigenous people who lived in the region of the Japur� River and the Rio Negro. The Omagua tribe had lived there before the Spanish conquest of South America in the sixteenth century. Koch-Gr�nberg explains that although the words Omagua and Um�ua are alike, the sixteenth-century Omagua tribe was culturally and linguistically quite distinct from the Um�ua tribe he himself met. The main focus of the book is a systematic record of the vocabulary of the Um�ua tribe based upon the author's own observations. He lists words relating to a variety of topics including body parts, medicine and religion.
