"Cultural
appropriation
takes
place
when
members
of
a
majority
group
adopt
cultural
elements
of
a
minority
group
in
an
exploitative,
disrespectful,
or
stereotypical
way.
To
fully
understand
its
consequences,
though,
we
need
to
make
sure
we
have
a
working
definition
of
culture
itself..."

"The
Shuar
are
an
Indigenous
people
of
Ecuador
and
Peru.
They
are
members
of
the
Jivaroan
peoples,
who
are
Amazonian
tribes
living
at
the
headwaters
of
the
Marañón
River.
A
shrunken
head
is
a
severed
and
specially
prepared
human
head
that
is
used
for
trophy,
ritual,
or
trade
purposes.
Headhunting
has
occurred
in
many
regions
of
the
world,
but
the
practice
of
headshrinking
has
only
been
documented
in
the
northwestern
region
of
the
Amazon
rainforest.[1]
Jivaroan
peoples,
which
includes
the
Shuar,
Achuar,
Huambisa
and
Aguaruna
tribes
from
Ecuador
and
Peru,
are
known
to
have
shrunken
human
heads.
Shuar
people
call
a
shrunken
head
a
tsantsa,[2]
also
transliterated
tzantza.
Many
tribe
leaders
would
show
off
their
heads
to
scare
enemies.
Shrunken
heads
are
known
for
their
mandibular
prognathism,
facial
distortion
and
shrinkage
of
the
lateral
sides
of
the
forehead;
these
are
artifacts
of
the
shrinking
process.
Among
the
Shuar
and
Achuar,
the
reduction
of
the
heads
was
followed
by
a
series
of
feasts
centered
on
important
rituals.[citation
