“…Sharing food has been considered a typical means to produce kin relations (e.g. McCallum 1997). Here we should note that the term for two sisters (itharu), means they come from the same moiety (the term is also used for sisters and parallel cousins), and thus a material relationality already exists between them, and along with others they observe the same food taboos (Virtanen 2015a).…”

“…Such imaginaries, whether based on ideas of the "ecologically noble savage" (Redford 1991) or "wild" Amazonian warriors (High 2015a), continue to frame relations between indigenous people and others in Amazonia. We see this clearly in the ways indigenous leaders interact with industry and state institutions (Brown 1993;Graham 2002;High 2007;Sawyer 2004), conservation practices (Cepek 2012;Oakley 2019;Zanotti 2014), engagements with NGOs (Ball 2012;McCallum 1997;Mentore 2017), and public performances of indigenous "culture" at urban folklore festivals (High 2015a;Wroblewski 2019). Whether construed as an obstacle to state development, an emblem of national pride, or an icon of global environmental conservation, there is little doubt that the symbolism attached to indigenous Amazonian people continues to inform their relations with various outsiders.…”

“…The Wari’ also express the assimilation of spouses in terms of coming to share the same blood though sexual intercourse and the consumption of the same food (Conklin 1995; Vilaça 1992; 1995). Even in the absence of teknonymy, as among the Cashinahua, outsiders can be integrated through procreation, whereby ‘the process of constructing kinship … receives its definite expression through the appearance of children’ (McCallum 1997: 125). My friend Huisene stated that her ‘sister‐in‐law [was] not different’ ( ecue nene uapa pojiama ) insofar as once she married she was no longer uapa .…”
