Use and Background: Huaorani means true human beings. Often times Christians associate the Huaorani people with murder because of Jim Elliot's and four other men's deaths by the Huaorani tribe, however, many do not understand that the Huaorani's are under constant threat of being captured and eaten by 'non Huaorani' who are the cannibal neighbors (Rival 2002:51). They often meet with other local area tribes for a festival of traditional music and dance (Meisch 1992:10). Music plays a role in society. Children of indigenous peoples often learn the musical preferences of neighboring groups in school (Miles 2000:5) The drum was used to make music as that is what musical instruments are made for.
