Headhunting culture exists all over the world, but only Shure tribe has the tradition of reducing headhunting and preserving it. Shuar is a branch of Jivaro and lives in the Amazon basin of Ecuador and Peru. The Givalo Indians are famous for their belligerence and cruelty. They are the only tribe that has not succumbed to the Spanish colonists. At the coming-of-age ceremony of 65,438+06-year-old Shuar young men, they will shoot a sloth, and then learn from their elders the skills of shrinking their heads and bodies. They think that the enemy's soul will still haunt him after his death, so narrowing the enemy's head can suppress the enemy's dead soul forever. Of course, this extremely cruel practice also means blood feud.

/kloc-At the end of 0/9 and the beginning of the 20th century, Shuar people began to contact and trade with the outside world, and their curiosity attracted a large number of tourists, explorers and collectors to this area. Shunken Heads (or Tsantsa) once became a rare commodity. Some non-tribal people also began to make these headshots. Persistent epidemics such as malaria and yellow fever have provided them with sufficient supplies.
