Abstract
This paper explores the the use of curing songs by the shamans of the Jivaro people of Ecuador. It begins by providing some background information about the culture and society of the Jivaro people and then describes the cultural reasons for the belief in the curative powers of the shaman's whistling song.
From the Paper
"We have all, of course, heard the claim that music hath charms to soothe savagery. But few us have heard ? or would believe ? that music can cure disease. But many people do believe that music has the power to counterbalance illness, especially in the hands of trained healers. This paper looks at one specific example of such healing through the power of music, the use of curing songs by the shamans of the Jivaro people of Ecuador."

Abstract
This paper summarizes lives of the Jivaro (Shuar) tribe which was once revered for their fierceness and head-shrinking rituals. The paper states that the Jivaro tribe is being forced from their lands and further into the jungle by white civilization. The author feels that the Jivaro tribe is in a more positive position because they have an incredible knowledge of the anti-cancerous plants that grow in the rain forests.

Conclusion
From the Paper
"The Jivaro's, who prefer to be called Shuar Indians, are caught between the cultures of the past and the encroaching modern civilization. Some of the problems they are dealing with on a daily basis include deciding whether ?a new, paved road to the outside world" will help the tribe or destroy them. The tribe feels roads would enable them to take their cattle of market and buy needed supplies but are concerned because the roads bring white men who destroy the jungle."
