Because it was an chachapoyan custom to greet other members of the society whilst they shield their face. This was a way of being polite and greeting sakajaweea when he came to transport their soul to the afterlife.

Are Chachapoya mummies and Incan mummies the same thing Chachapoya is the culture and Incan was the empire back then Is this true?

No, they're not the same thing. Chachapoya was not only a culture; the Chachapoyas were a completely different people from the Incas and lived independently until the Incas conquered their country shortly before the Spaniards arrived. So Chachapoyan mummies are part of the Chachapoya people and culture, Incan mummies are part of the Incan people and culture. The Inca Empire and culture moreover was destroyed by the Spanish before the Incas could even start to effectively impose "Inca" rule and culture on the Chachapoyans.
