The Cashinahu



The Cashinahua tribe is originally from eastern Peru. They are a lot more modern than they use to be. They have completely replaced blowguns with guns. However, they still make clay pots and pottery. They still make beautiful jewelry necklaces. They mainly used to use stones but now they use knives and other tools. They are really into body piercing and body paints. They use wooden spoons and eat out of clay bowls. They also make huge buckets to hold water. Their homes are made out of sticks and mud and other things like leaves. For clothes they wear fur and rags.
