How did the indigenous Indians of the Amazon area in South America inter their dead?

This totally depends upon the tribe and the time period... ranging from leaving them where they died for nature to reclaim the dead to eating the dead as a community ritual.



ME!



Good question... I have spent several hours looking for just the death rituals of the tribes I know to be formwer headhunters, and I can find no information on their death rituals. The two main tribes are easy to find so I will not bore you with the details of their burrial rituals, but with many of the older works I have read over the years, most of the tribes north of the river rither ate their non sick or poisoned dead or allowed nature to reclaim the dead with a burrial in the rivers or leaving them where they died. Those tribes below the river were more civilized as we tend to look at things, with a burrial or a raised platform, with very little canabilism. Unfortunatly, I can find no refference works to back up these claims, and this makes me wonder just how true to the facts these other works were.
