Monkey hunting with an INDIGENOUS TRIBE in the Amazon rainforest | Waorani tribe

I always thought that the tribes in the forests have abandoned their habits. I thought it was over. But I was wrong. It's not about the tribes behind me in the Amazon. In a strange and strange part of the Amazon forest, from a country called Ecuador, there are still tribes that live without being influenced by the outside world. These are the tribes. We are in the middle of the Amazon rainforest. And their favorite food is the monkey. These are the Hurani tribes and their language is Wahoo. My grandfather gave me an advice, which is go to school and study. Get some knowledge and protect the forest. Welcome, welcome to Ecuador. We are in Quito now, the capital of Ecuador. We have arrived in the capital, Quito. We are currently heading to the Amazon. Six hours by car, then we will take a plane to the heart of the Amazon, these different tribes. I will tell you why. We went from Quito, the capital, to the city of Chen, which was named after the international fuel station because they used to extract oil from these areas. Okay, guys, it's 6 a.m. and we are now leaving this small airport, a military airport. When we take this plane, we can go down to the Amazon, which will take us two full days to get to the place we are going to, which is deep. Bro, like a private plane? Just for us, my friend. $1,400, it's a good deal. Because this region of Ecuador is the richest and full of oil. Everyone is waiting. Hola, amigos. When we arrived, there was a great reception. The plane left us. We just arrived, and they came to give us the welcome. The plane will take us back after three days. Yes, we are now in the Guaranis community. This is a kind of nationality. 1956 was the first contact with people from outside. He's considered the best hunter here in this community. These fruits are used to color the face. Do they want to keep living in the jungle or are they going to move to the city? They want to stay here. Guarani girl. Where are we going to sleep? We are going to sleep there. Do you see the cabin? The first thing we did was to take us to our cabin where we will sleep. We packed our stuff and set off. Despite the heavy rain, they had to go get the hay from the trees. Then, they prepare the hay in the administration room in the village. This is the Amazon. We are back in the Amazon. Now what? They are going to extract the hay from the trees so that they can hunt there. We are going to hunt there. They made a shelter from the trees. Hunting every day. Every day. Do you see the poison in this tree? It's going to come out. On this tree, there are plants climbing up. The poison is called Kurari. Now, they are going to cook it to prepare the poison. They are now going to make the poison. Tomorrow, we are going to be hunting. They normally hunt monkeys almost every day. They like going to the supermarket. They like the meat of monkeys. It's delicious, he said. The Amazon forest is amazing. You can find tribes in Ecuador, Peru, Brazil. The black color is the poison. Look at the amount of poison they have. They can poison the whole city. And the neighbors. Wow. Close these leaves. They are going to put some water in there. The last step is they are going to cook it. They are going to boil it for 15 minutes more or less. Now, the poison is going to be filtered. It's like a coffee filter. They are going to put water from above, but from its mouth. The poison is going to come out from below. They put water in here, and the poison comes out from below. See? You are going to be famous. She is 15 years old. What's your name? That's her name. And they get pregnant early here? That's normal. Normally here people get, I mean they marry when they are 14, 15 years old. And as you can see, she's only 15 and she's waiting for her first baby. Five months. They don't go to any doctor. They don't have any pregnancy control. The canoe driver, he is the father. He is 18 years old. Congratulations. May you have a great time with your baby. Wow, where are we going? Where are we going? Now the women are leaders. Now the ladies here are going to lead this experience. The poison is almost ready. They are going to put it on fire, but they need an energy drink for tomorrow's fishing. And their special drink is called Chicha. They are happy about being connected to the other world. The modern world makes us change, makes us leave our traditions and our culture behind. He is married with three wives and he has nine children. He is a hunter, so he deserves it. This kind of fiber that they use in their bodies comes from this palm tree. They can make hammocks, they can make dresses, they can make bracelets. They carry their special drink, Cassava. Cassava is like a potato, underground. It is very well known in South America. Cassava. Look, it looks like two flies. Oh, Cassava. Look at the size. Cassava. Here it is. Let's go, Cassava. Are you ready to cook? Let's go. Nice? Do you want sugar? The children in this village love walnuts, but the adults eat them. Walnuts. They start preparing their special drink, Cassava. The special drink that the women make and the men make is sumac. They draw on the guests a drawing of a tree. It represents the river, the jaguar, and the anaconda. Anaconda. They are making a drink of cassava. Let's see. Then they boil the sumac. They collect all the liquid and now they boil it, they cook it. Then they put the sumac on the fishing rods. All the sumac will be put in the sumac soup. And these tools will be used tomorrow for fishing. Do you have water? Look how they put it one by one. They fill it up. They have a huge number of tools. They make their special drink in a way that you won't see anywhere else in the world. They suck on it. They call it chicha. They put it in their mouth. They chew it. And then they spit it. And this is a process, as you can see now. The lady is now going to put it. You see it? It creates a bacteria. Is it important to spit like this? If they don't do it, the taste is not the same. Without the chicha, they cannot survive. Chicha. The drink is like ice tea. It's like ice latte. After drinking their magical drink, the result will be tomorrow. We want our rights. I think now they are ready to fish.
