Amazon tribes are typically well fed, storing nuts (6-8)

I believe the answer is:

forest-dwelling

'amazon tribes are typically' is the definition.
(as in tribes living in the Amazon Rainforest)

'well fed storing nuts' is the wordplay.
'nuts' indicates anagramming the letters (nuts can mean crazy).
'well'+'fed'+'storing'='wellfedstoring'
'wellfedstoring' with letters rearranged gives 'FOREST-DWELLING'.
