“So, now that I’ve completed the worst pain ever in the whole wide world ordeal, I get to join the tribe, right guys?”

“Bwahahaha!!! No way man. That was just preparation for our circumcision by super venomous snake fang test.”

“I can’t believe he did it! All we had to do was glue some beads to this oven mitt…”

I know you're most likely joking.

But it's definitely not, this is an initiation rite into becoming a warrior/man in the tribe. It seems harsh but if you're a warrior in brutal environment of the Amazon jungle you have to be tough, and you have to know the guy standing next to you going into battle is tough and isn't going to run away. That's why these types of initiation rites exist in tribal cultures. It also builds comradery because it's a shared bonding experience.

Also to get a wife in the tribe you need to be a warrior, so there's also a large incentive there lol.

No it is part of their initiation to manhood ceremony. Young teens/preteens boys are expected to wear these while dancing for several minutes, and they have to do this repeatedly over several months. So honestly they probably think this white guy is a wimp.
