I'm not that familiar with them, but my guess would be yes, at least for hunter-gatherers. I would think that bad behavior would get you kicked out of the community and lead to likely death.

The larger ancient cities that farmed would be more interesting, especially because today Latin America is one of the lowest trust regions of the world.
