His works reflect the transition between different theoretical trends and historical periods in Brazilian History of Anthropology. He was one of the former ethnologists who introduced functionalistic theories, began the studies on Indigenous acculturation and developed a leadership role on indigenism discussion in Brazil, since the 30 s...
