Abstract
In the article, I discuss the social conflict and violence as well as cultural methods of their neutralization in the culture of Bora Indians from the Peruvian Amazon. The conflict in a small Amazonian community, in which everyone knows each other, is conditioned by the relationships of blood and affinity. The cultural forms of neutralization of the conflict are: migration from places with intense conflict, ceremonial and festive ceremonies. Bora stigmatize each other when their traditional categories of social coexistence – sharing, mutual help, caring for the common good – fail in confrontation with values of the national society.
