People criticized their rituals as being devil’s work. Foreigners reflected Yawanawa tribe in many ways. On the other hand, they introduced Yawanawa people to alcohol, sugar and salt which were never in their diet.”

Traditionally, they live in houses called ‘pêshê’. Pêshê have a wooden structure, with a roof thatched with palm leaves tied into place with a strong vine called a liana. Today, they have started building different kinds of houses, taking inspiration from Western architecture.
