==In popular culture== *In [[James Rollins]]' novel ''Amazonia'', Dr. Favre's Shuar mistress, Tshui, is described as a "witch" who concocts poisons, brews psychoactive tea, and maintains a large collection of shrunken heads. Her process of shrinking one such trophy, which she wears around her neck, is described in great detail. *Luis Sepúlveda's 1989 novel ''[[The Old Man Who Read Love Stories]]'' explores the Shuar people and their culture/traditions/beliefs as the main character is adopted/befriended by their people. The author was close friends with a Shuar union leader and built aspects of the story around the stories he told him about his way of life. *In the film ''[[Back from Eternity]]'' (1956) the Shuar (called Jivaros in film) attack the stranded crew in an unnamed South American country.
