The tribe are known as the tree house people because they live high in the trees to protect themselves from the evil spirits of the tribe. The author met with several tribe members who revealed the entire tribe are cannibals. they kill and eat those they believe have killed a member of their family. known as khakhua or evil spirt. the korowai believe that when someone dies they have been killed by the khakhua and must be destroyed instantly by being eaten. the khakhua can be anyone in the village or neighboring village. Anyone can become a khakuhua who is said to eat the insides of the person and fill them with ash until they are dead. when asked why they eat human flesh one of the chief elders stated. “Its a way of life, we are meant to eat humans its part of our religion”
