  abstract = {{S}eed {U}se and {S}ocioeconomic {S}ignificance in {K}ayap {H}andicrafts: {A} {C}ase {S}tudy from {P}ara {S}tate, {B}razil. {W}e conducted an ethnobotanical survey of seed species utilized in necklaces and other artifacts commercialized by two {K}ayap villages of {P}ara {S}tate, {B}razil. {W}e also evaluated the local importance of these species and recent changes relevant to making handicrafts from local seeds. {F}ieldwork included participant observation, semistructured interviews, and specific interviews focusing on artifacts of 47 adults. {T}he {I}ndex of {I}mportance {V}alue ({IV}s) was used to evaluate the importance, use, and knowledge of the surveyed species. {F}orty-two plant species are currently utilized. {O}f those, 32 were identified, being distributed in ten botanical families and 25 genera. {T}he families {F}abaceae (18 spp.) and {A}recaceae (8 spp.) stood out for their floristic richness. {A}mong the species with larger {IV}s, {O}rmosia flava and {S}apindus saponaria were prominent. {T}he exchange of seed knowledge between different generations and genders was also observed. {T}he use of seeds as substitutes for industrially-manufactured glass beads enhances the value of traditional knowledge of plants and territories. {T}he marketing of seed-derived handicrafts represents an alternative for income generation among the {K}ayap {I}ndians, while also promoting forest conservation.},
