Runa people taught anthropologist Eduardo Kohn interesting insights about jaguars. Jaguars are known to prowl the forest at night and sometimes attack humans. When people consider the jaguar's point of view, better ways of relating come into view. For example, by talking with jaguars during the day, people will be less likely to be attacked at night. Also, by sleeping face up, people will be more likely to be able to use human tools or weapons to maintain a clear boundary between human and animal.
