Too many to bury and no one left alive to do the burying.

The Matses, or Mayoruna are an indigenous clan living in a very remote part of Amazonia. 20 years ago they collected heads.
Is this the face of a head-hunter?
The Matses build a sturdy pirog.
The temperature averaged in the high 90s with 90% humidity.
The Matses are also known as the cat people. Their mythology teaches that they were descended from the jaguar. Hence the tatoos and other ornamentation, mimicking a feline appearance
