The Wider Image: Rare access captures dances and feasts of Amazonian chief's funeral ritual
A Yawalapiti man waits before taking part in a wrestling match during the Kuarup funeral ritual to honor the memory of Cacique Aritana, at the Xingu Indigenous Park in Brazil, September 12, 2021. The Kuarup ritual builds up to a climax with a competition of martial arts between the colorful warriors of the dozen tribes present, who first stomp around the central area of the village in a war-like dance before wrestling begins.
