ACHUAR

The Achuar are an Amazonian community of some 4,500 individuals along either side of the border in between Ecuador and Peru. As of the early 1970s, the Achuar were one of the last of the Jivaroan groups still to be spared the destructive effects of western contact. The name Achuar means “the people of the aguaje palm”. Achuar life centers on the domestic household, which consists of a basic family unit often including close relatives. There are usually about ten to fifteen households within the society dispersed throughout the area but still in a relatively close distance of each other. Marriages are typically polygamous with partners somewhat related, or in some instances women are taken from nearby tribes during raids. Conflicts within the Achuar society are minimal. The constant fight is between neighboring tribes and when tensions greatly increase, the Achuar find refuge in large protected houses that hold six to seven families.

I Jívaro (Jíbaros o Xébaros: termini dispregiativi che significano "barbari"; essi autodefiniscono Shuar) sono un popolo nativo sudamericano che vive nella regione dell'Ecuador detta montaña, nelle aree confinanti con del Perù settentrionale, sui pendii delle Ande sudorientali e nel bacino dei fiumi Marañón, Santiago e alto Pastaza. I Jívaro non sono mai stati sottomessi: per secoli sono rimasti indipendenti, resistendo prima ai tentativi di conquista degli Inca e poi ai missionari spagnoli del XVI secolo.
