dc.description	Narrative is a mechanism for the conservation of oral tradition. In daily life stories, the Siona expose the correspondence of their cosmology with dreams. The article examines, within this culture from Yahé, the conceptions regarding life and death, specially those of the shamans. The body of the shaman has the power of transforming itself into animals. A normal Siona loses his material body upon death, shamans have a first death with an initiation without the need to lose their body, although they change their names. When they leave this world, they stay as star figures and carry on having a important role amongst the Siona.
