Blue - usually placed in the centre, represent the men's house, which is right in the heart of the village. 
It is the Kayapó "prefecture", exclusively chaired by men. They gather there every day to talk about battles, rites, and to produce ornaments like necklaces and bracelets.

In these spaces, they paint the bodies of their husbands and children, plant, harvest and prepare food.
