Daniel Everett claims he worked with a group he calls the Wadi near the Bolivian border and wrote a grammar of their language. He alleges they practised cannibalism until about 1962, including funerary consumption of their own dead and eating enemies killed in battle, and says it ended due to missionaries and government influence.
