Transcript

They were scared to put down their bows and arrows. The first two hours were very tense. They all started screaming Mashco and everyone started lifting kids and putting them away and and we looked across the beach and we saw this and it was everyone was running. I mean you just heard people loading shotguns, getting ready. Cuz you don't know if this is going to be a friendly encounter and they're gonna wanna talk about things or if this is going to be a massacre. They're extremely wild people that speak a language that almost no one else speaks. They all speak at the same time. There's they're they're like a flock of parrots. They're all speaking at the same time. They're speaking at the same time? It was like they all would speak. They all were speaking at the same time. There was a cacophony of voices at all times. So a lot of them were doing this this thing where they put their finger under their nose. I don't know what that means. They all seem to have the same haircut and we know nothing about how they reproduce, where they reproduce, what they do with their old people, what their creation myths are. We know a little bit about what they eat because we find turtle shells and monkey skulls next to their fires. The other people present prepared a boat covered in plantains and the first thing we did we pushed it across and give them an offering. So Rama walked it out, pushed it to them and then that's when you see them rush across the river and grab those plantains. And the terrifying thing was that it wasn't like they were going to share them. You could see them in the video pulling mine and mine and his or his and that's it. And so it makes you wonder what kind of of society or ranking they have within their own culture. Never before has there been HD footage of an encounter from the uncontacted tribes coming out to the modern world. And this type of exchange where they were asking, why are you cutting down our forests? Where they're asking, why do you cut our ancient trees? They're asking, who are the good guys and the bad guys and how do we tell the difference?
