The idea among all the tribes was that the sacrifices were used. The Algonkins told Father Le Jeune that they found meat which had been left for souls that had been gnawed by them. The Caribs said they heard the spirits moving the vessels and champing the food set for them, and this they believed though nothing appeared to be touched. Mr. Müller says they thought the spirit of the food was appropriated by the spirits of the dead, though it had no appearance of having been touched.

Among the tribes of South America sacrificial offerings of the same kind were made to the dead. The Araucanians supplied provisions to the dead for their supposed journey. The natives of Brazil carried provisions every day to their dead. The natives of Panama presented food to the dead, and carried a yearly sacrifice of maize to their graves. The Chibchas placed food in the graves with their dead. Among some of the tribes of Peru, wives stayed several days at their husbands' graves to cook for them. They poured chicha on their bodies. The children would carry stores of food and clothing to the tombs of their parents. In Peruvian graves, corn, potatoes, cocoa, and nuts were found in abundance.
