This article offers an ethnographic analysis of the borduna, a traditional weapon employed by diverse Indigenous peoples of Brazil. Beyond its function in close combat, the borduna embodies symbolic dimensions of power, identity, and ancestral connection. Drawing on comparative data, the study examines its origins, crafting techniques, ceremonial roles, and morphological variations across distinct ethnic groups. By investigating the cultural significance and social roles of the borduna, the article contributes to a deeper understanding of Indigenous material culture, sociopolitical organization, and the enduring vitality of traditional knowledge systems.
