What does Levi-Strauss own to the Amerindians?

Through interviews with leading experts in the work of the French Master of Anthropology - including some of his former students - this film intends to show how some fundamental concepts of Levi-Straussian Structuralism has its roots in the world of the indigenous people as well as in the Western thought. Less than collect a debt, it is a tribute to the greatest anthropologist of all time. Levi-Strauss made the discipline less anthropocentric, while showed us ethical principles from people made up of its relations to the world. Levi-Strauss was the one who best revealed the sophistication of the “savage mind”, putting it in dialogue with the most elaborate philosophy and Western science.
