Document Summary
Cannibalism (epitome of the weird, duty, desperation, desire) Tourism vs. anthropology: tourist all about pictures ethnocentric views, just a short experience/ not a comprehensive study or trying to understand the culture of the natives. Style of the film: an awkward view from a cameraman/ tourist outlook. Feel bad about how the white people treated the natives. People on the cruise call the natives primitive", not really living just vegetating. Natives are poor/white people have money and are rich. Missionaries destroyed sacred items no sacred items left. other countries took their sacred items. Missionaries assumed their religion was wrong, the devil"s, forced them into. Judging how they lived, have an easier/simpler life. Even with money and new technology they are still aboriginal people. Hypothesis: freshwater fishing is an important economic activity. Lessons learned: freshwater fishing plays a minor role economically, but adds a sense of community identity. Memories of people who used a camp in the past stay at the camp.
