Revenge killing between tribal groups was the regular practice of all three tribes. Introducing the Christian idea of loving one's enemies turned this around, of whom Chief Tariri was a prime example.Infanticide, especially of baby girls, had its downside, especially in a shortage of women for wives in the Cashibo-Cacataibo tribe. Today, with more women due to Christian values, the women in Christian families are treated better than they were previously.Bilingual schools prepare tribal people to be better prepared to do business with the white people as well as preserving the tribal language.

About the Author

The author, Lila Wistrand Robinson, has the degrees B.A., M.A., and Ph.D. from the University of Texas at Austin in linguistics, anthropology, and folklore. The experiences in the Candoshi, Aguaruna, and Cashibo-Cacataibo tribes enriched her studies as she wrote her M.A. thesis and Ph.D. dissertation on the grammar and folklore of the latter tribe. This book tells of the day by day activities of life in the tribes as linguist, anthropologist, and missionary. The tribal peoples became like family to her and her partners. There were experiences with anaconda, vampire bats, and jaguar, to name a few of the dangers to be found in the rain forest. The Native Americans had a wealth of knowledge about nature and how to live in their remote locations. They were protectors for the North American women and men working in their villages. Come along and take some trips to the tribes.
