In the film Bone Tomahawk the villains are a group of cave dwelling natives whom practice cannibalism in addition to other weird practices, such as incest. I was curious whether tribes like this truly existed? Mainly in North America but other places as well.
Yes, of course. The worst shit you can imagine has been institutionalized in some tribe or other at some point in history.

Incest not that Iam aware of up there. Cannibalism also unsure but if it did I'm pretty sure it was ritualistic and limited to certain sects since they had plenty of animals to hunt like the bison, rabbit, deer or fishes. I know some practiced human sacrifice and tortured their captured enemies.

>In December 1609, Ratcliffe and 14 fellow colonists were invited to a gathering with the tribe of Powhatan Indians. The Powhatans promised the starving colonists would be given corn, but it was a trap. The colonists were ambushed. Ratcliffe suffered a particular gruesome fate: he was tied to a stake in front of a fire. Women removed the skin from his entire body with mussel shells and tossed the pieces into the flame as he watched. They skinned his face last and finally burned him at stake

Cannibalism was likely practiced in certain groups, though in a ritualistic manner and not out of necessity or want.
Inbreeding did occur in Native populations, but it is fairly similar to European groups, i.e. first cousins.
Closer kinship relations (Brother-Sister) were held to be taboo by most groups, and marriages of such as non-binding.

Incest was common among natives. Some tribes in the Caribbean were cannibals.
