Fact:We communed with the Yagua and the Yanomamo on the Peruviam Amazon, a day upriver from Iquitos by boat. We watched a village of Yagua eat skinny monkeys for lunch. Some would shoot the monkeys out of trees with blowguns and poisoned darts dipped in their home made curare, notched at the poisoned tips so the darts would break when the animal bolted and release the poison more efficiently. Some would catch the falling monkeys in nets, others would take them back to the village, others would skin and prepare them, others would cook them on a rotissesie-like grill. others would serve the meal, others would eat at long tables, others would clean up. They all traded places until all had eaten and cleanup was complete. Through an interpreter who spoke their tribe-specific diialect of Qechua, we were invited to join them, but we begged off by saying we'd just had a huge breakfast, which was true. They all were fierce looking with face and body paint and lip ad ear platters. The chief, the biggest, meanest-looking member of the Yagua tribe, was about 4'9" tall. I negotiated purchase of one of his blowvguns with him. Through the interpreter he wanted to trade for my camera; we settled for about $8 in Peruvian Nuevo Sol. The Amazon (we were on a tributary when this all happened) is 2,300 miles upriver from the Atlantic. It is only 2 1/2 miles across!
