The Jivaroan tribes are indigenous peoples primarily located in the Amazon rainforest, particularly in Ecuador and Peru. They are known for their rich cultural traditions, including unique social structures and spiritual beliefs. The tribes include groups such as the Shuar, Achuar, and Inga, each with distinct languages and customs. One of the most notable aspects of Jivaroan culture is their practice of head shrinking, which historically involved the preparation of enemy heads as trophies. This practice is tied to their beliefs about the afterlife and the importance of ancestral spirits. Today, many Jivaroan communities are working to preserve their heritage while adapting to modern challenges.
