Talk:Jivaroan peoples

The introduction header states in the last paragraph "a man and his wife", should this not really be revised to "a married couple"? You wouldn't write a "a woman and her husband" instead, would you? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.28.194.198 (talk) 09:54, 9 June 2014 (UTC)

ANTIQUATED!!
The entire introductory section is completely antiquated and would doubtless be considered offensive to very many people. The description of the people and their culture could be described as a crude rendering if its aim was to depict Jivaroan people one hundred years ago, let alone today. The Jivaroan peoples are by population likely to be the largest group of indigenous Amazonians today. This page is the equivalent of describing the Cherokee people as a divided band of heathens whose favourite activity is scalping their enemies.

This page needs to be completely made over. However given its crudeness and offensiveness there's a strong case for the page in its current form to be entirely deleted. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 220.244.15.238 (talk) 17:28, 24 October 2015 (UTC)


 * I would add the fact that the Shuar people consider the term "Jivaro" as an insult, the word shouldn't have been used at all. 190.237.123.60 (talk) 03:45, 5 December 2022 (UTC)

oh yeah this article is a dumpster fire. Its horribly offensive, unnuanced and cites very few sources. I haven't done a wikipedia before and i don't really have the means to properly research this, but please if someone with the chaps to do this could do any thing 71.188.59.180 (talk) 04:34, 8 May 2021 (UTC)


 * 71.188.59.180, why not be bold and have a crack at it yourself? If you can post on a talk page, you've got the skills to delete or rephrase the worst parts of this article, e.g parts of the introduction, without necessarily having to do any research at all.

 * I have rewritten the introduction myself. The whole article could do with further improvement. Meticulo (talk) 13:26, 13 May 2021 (UTC)

Should we create a separate page for the Jivaro sack of Logrono?
Should we create a separate article for the Shaur sack of the Logrono Spanish colony? unsigned comment added by Randomuser335S (talk) 16:01, 4 February 2021‎
 * Probably not, though I'm no expert on the incident. Perhaps add the details to the history section of the Logroño, Ecuador article, and then link to it from this article. Meticulo (talk) 13:26, 13 May 2021 (UTC)
