The Achuar are an Amazonian community of some 18,500 individuals along either side of the border in between Ecuador and Peru. As of the early 1970s, the Achuar were one of the last of the Jivaroan groups still generally unaffected by outside contact.
The name Achuar means “the people of the aguaje palm”.
Achuar life centers on the domestic household, which consists of a basic family unit often including close relatives. Although the Achuar ideal is household autonomy and independence in terms of subsistence economy, there are usually about ten to fifteen households within the society dispersed throughout the area but still in a relatively close distance of each other. Each of these groupings tends to be uxorilocal. Marriages are typically polygynous, with partners somewhat related, or in some instances women are taken from nearby groups during raids. Co-wives are often sisters (see sororal polygyny).
The standard Achuar home is settled near a river or lake, but within a distance from major waterways because of mosquitoes and to protect the household against raids by canoe. It is shaped as a large oval, commonly without outer walls to allow ventilation, with a high roof with straight sides. The roof is often made out of palm tree fronds while two types of palm are used for house beams. Temporary walls are made out of large palms when danger seems close. A large yard and gardens then surround the home on the outside. The size of a house plays a pivotal part in the ego of an Achuar man. The bigger the house is to fit multiple wives and children the more likely that man will be considered a juunt, or "great man".

I got reason to believe that you've been fooling around
And the way you feel the passion if the, the things you did
It don't matter to me
For what it's worth just don't lie to me
Coz that aint what I need right now
Baby, everything we built on trust, you're tearing it down
Coz I know the truth hurts
[CHORUS]
Truth Hurts
Tell me the truth now
Whatcha been doing and who you been doing it with
Truth Hurts
Where you been going, how you been puttin' your thing down
Truth Hurts
Whatever you was workin', I hope that it was worth it baby
Truth Hurts
I got reason to believe that you've been fooling around
Girl I'm really tryin' hard, I wanna stay
I wanna move on and put it in the past
Coz you claim that you aint doin' nothin'
Must be my insecurity
That's got the best of me right now
What I know I can't hold inside of me is gon' drive me insane, coz I know, truth hurts
[CHORUS]
Truth Hurts
Tell me the truth now
Whatcha been doing and who you been doing it with
Truth Hurts
Where you been going, how you been puttin' your thing down
Truth Hurts
Whatever you was workin', I hope that it was worth it baby
Truth Hurts
I got reason to believe that you've been fooling around
ba, ba, ba, ba, ba...ba, ba, ba, ba, ba, ba, ba, ba, ba, ba, ba, ba, ba, ba. (sing it with me now)
ba, ba, ba, ba, ba...ba, ba, ba, ba, ba, ba, ba, ba, ba, ba, ba, ba, ba, ba.
Truth Hurts
I got to see you babe
I been keepin' from you baby
Coz I know that you're
gonna tear up the place, punch me in the face, pull the I quits out, think you need to sit down.
I've been blaming you, and I'm the one that's doing wrong, I'ma go on
A guilty conscience is the real reason I wrote this song...
[CHORUS]
