The Jivero (as another authority
spells it, country is just over the
Andes from the west coast, at an al
titude of about 900 meters, on the
headwaters of the Rio Santiago riv-
err. One explorer, in telling of his
visit to that country, says two part
ners lost their nerve and gave up the
trip. but that he returned with his
head, after attending dances, feasts,
ETC., learning 80 to 100 words of their
language and having no trouble with
them. He does not accept the COM
mon understanding that they are
cannibals. Their houses are built in
the form of an eclipse and he saw
many from 200 feet long, so to IS feet
wide and 20 to 80 to the peak. They
are polygamists.
He had numerous invitations to go
on head hunting expeditions, but did
not accept. He said he had heard
many theories of the manner in which
the captured heads are treated, but
the process is kept a profound secret
by the Indians and it seemed unwise
to pry into it. The treatment is con-
sidered by them a defiance of their
enemies
