Pabichu

Pabichu is the name the game gives to the traditional religion of the Chiquitano, who call themselves Monkóx and live in the dry forests and savanna of the Chiquitania in eastern Bolivia. From 1692 Jesuit missions gathered them into mission towns, which lasted until the order was expelled in 1767.

Tradition gave each person three souls, of breath, blood and shadow. The shadow soul wandered in dreams and went to a paradise after death, though one that lingered had to be persuaded by a shaman to leave. Upayaretu, a giant rhea in the sky, guarded children, and eclipses of the moon, Pama Kuara, were dogs of the sky devouring it, so warriors shot arrows upward to drive them off.
