They ate thieves and prisoners of war, after fattening them up for a while. Charles Higginson was the first white man to come in contact with them, in 1907. He described them as fierce, cannibalistic warriors, always ready to start a war with the neighbouring tribe. Leaders and warriors who died in battle were mummified. The body was placed in the foetal position in the kitchen, and a fire was lit to smoke it. When it began to smell, the wives would rip the skin off and tear out the intestines, which were eaten by the closest relatives, in order to acquire the qualities of the deceased. They then continued smoking the body for four or five months, until the flesh was totally dried out. It would then be taken up to the Sacred Rock and placed in a sitting position, looking into the distance, or in a type of bamboo basket which they nailed to the ground. Other tribes left them hanging from the trees. Cannibalism has almost entirely died out, though there are still isolated cases of human flesh being eaten in the most remote regions. We must understand that for these warriors, just fifteen or twenty years ago, cannibalism was perfectly normal. The land where the Kukukuku live is very rugged and covered in jungle, but even here we find representatives of the most radical religious sects from the West. ▶ SUBSCRIBE | http://bit.ly/PlanetDoc ▶ FULL DOCUMENTARIES | http://bit.ly/Full-Docs ▶ TRIBES DOCUMENTARIES | http://bit.ly/PlTribes ▶ FACEBOOK | http://bit.ly/FBPDoc ▶ TWITTER | http://bit.ly/TwPDoc ▶ TUMBLR | http://bit.ly/TbPlDoc
