I thought those were the "occupy Wall St." folks.

Teach a man to fish, he will complain that you stole his fishing spot.
Crazy that basically the only guy on the planet that could communicate with them, they killed with a bow and arrow, friendly people, it seems!!!!!

IMO somewheres in their evolution they were the malcontents of a larger culture. I never bought into the notion that these indigenous peoples were some lost pure race. At some point in time they were either outcast from a tribe or wandered away from the fold. From a documentary I watched about some slave descendants who became indigenous it cemented the idea. They wandered away from civilized people with little or no survival skills and became like these lost tribes. There was nothing pure about their existence only the fact thay they were not able to get along with civilized cultures.
I thought it was gonna show them standing on a river bank throwing an A-RIG

I've seen a few people like this in the Jungle in New Guinea. They still live the traditional way of their ancestors. They don't really need civilisation as we know it. One guy I met there, his only possesion was a bow and a spear that he made himself. He just appeared out of the trees along the river bank and scared the crap out of me. Seemed friendly enough after I gave him a fish. He probably wouldn't have hesitated to kill me if he felt threatened by me.

Matt: I've read a lot of Anthropology, but never heard that explanation. Through their oral history, these tribes and their way of life can be traced back way past the days of the slave traders. Until Western Civilizstion intruded into their territory, these poeple lived the same as their ancestors did 10,000 years ago...essentially in the stone age.

My neighbor was a geologist for Baker Tools. Close to reaching TD (total depth) he was flown out to the well, just a cleared spot in the jungle, to gather the geological data to log the well. These were test wells in the Amazon, everything was flown in by helicopter. During the day, the tribesman would stand at the edge of the clearing watching the workers. It seemed they coveted the metal from used welding rods to make tiny points for blowdarts, fishing spears, who knows. As usual welders always seemed to find a way to have fun. Just before they discarded the small end, they would put the rod to the pipe, heating it up to red hot before throwing into the forest. One could see the tribesmen fighting over the rod, but unable to pick it up because it was so hot. The welders enjoyed the show immensely.

So what are you trying to say man? That they were originally from California?

Ill agree its not an educated theory but I dont have to look any farther than my own siblings to see how my theory would be accurate. I have one brother with a college education and one with a 3rd grade equivalent of an education. The college one is retired living comfortably in Arizona. He is very social in his outlook on life. The other one lives in a 3 rm rent cut off from sociecty by his attitudes with hair down to his ass and when he has money hes on a bender. The difference is one assimilated and one didnt. Multiply that over a few generations in an isolated region somewheres and what do you think the results would be? I have 2 sisters who followed similar patterns.
