Thank you, thanks.

How can anyone learn patriotism
from a school book?

1:05:21
The Government requires it.
1:05:24
The natives get used to it
like vaccination.

1:05:28
The children already feel like Peruvians.
1:05:30
The other day I asked them. . .
1:05:33
. . ."Are you lndians?"
1:05:34
"No," they said, "not us,
the ones up the river are."

1:05:39
Then I asked, "What are lndians?"
1:05:42
They said, "Indians are people. . .
1:05:44
. . .who can't read and who don't know
how to wash their clothes."

1:05:47
And what do the older people say?
1:05:50
Well.
1:05:51
We can't seem to cure them
of the idea. . .

1:05:55
. . .that our everyday life
is only an illusion. . .

1:05:59
. . .behind which lies
the reality of dreams.

1:06:05
I am very interested in these ideas.
1:06:07
I specialize in opera myself.
1:06:12
What do you know about the
Jivaros on the upper Pachitea?

1:06:15
I was there during the disaster in '96.
1:06:19
Have you had any contact since then?
1:06:22
Some years ago, two of our brothers
set off with some natives.

1:06:26
One of them came back
a few days later. . .

1:06:28
. . .and said the Jivaros had
withdrawn deep into the forest.

1:06:32
The expedition
vanished without a trace.

1:06:35
A few weeks later, one of our
brothers was washed up.

1:06:38
They'd filled his stomach with
heavy stones and his head was gone.

1:06:44
Anyway, what do you want up there?
1:06:49
I'm planning something geographical.
