In a follow-up study the next year, we looked within Shuar communities and found the same patterns.
The second most commonly spoken languages in Ecuador are Kichwa and Shuar, which are used for intercultural relations.
This project continued until the government shut it down in 2001 and integrated the Shuar language as part of a bilingual national curriculum.
Shuar speakers are concentrated in the Morona-Santiago and Pastaza provinces of Ecuador,
both of which are located in the southeastern, Amazon region of the country.
Children in the U.S., Argentina, and India behaved similarly,
tending to be more patient and more tolerant of uncertainty, while the Shuar showed a very different pattern of behavior.
