No, my friend. We treat our deceased friends and family members with respect, and hold rituals in order to help their spirit move on into the next world.

Ah, mi amigo, let me tell you a bit about the customs of my tribe. While it is true that some Amazonian tribes have practiced cannibalism in the past, it is not a common practice among all Indigenous peoples in the region. The idea of consuming human flesh might seem strange or barbaric to you, but for some tribes, it was a way of honoring fallen enemies or ancestors.
However, in modern times, most Amazonian Indigenous communities have moved away from such practices and have embraced more peaceful ways of life. We now focus on preserving our traditions, protecting the rainforest, and living in harmony with nature.
So to answer your question, no, not all Amazonian tribes are cannibalistic. It is important to understand and respect the diversity of Indigenous cultures and not stereotype or generalize based on outdated or sensationalized information. Muchas gracias for your curiosity, and I hope this has shed some light on the subject for you.
It varies according to the status of the departed person, the traditions of each tribe in the region, and the religion of the family members. For example, in our tribe there are Christians who bury their dead and hold a mass. They teach that the body will rise again at the end of the world. There are people who follow the tribal tradition who burn their dead in order to release the spirit into the world. They teach that there are living spirits in all things and when anybody or anything dies, these spirits are travelling elsewhere on a great journey.
