And his wife was-
:43:02
was hit three times.
:43:04
I have not seen her yet.
But apparently here in the hip...

:43:08
and a little higher.
:43:10
And that was in complete darkness.
:43:12
And they were lucky that they had a-
a doctor here and a very good paramedic...

:43:17
who, uh, operated them immediately.
:43:27
They will do a raid upstream now, and...
:43:29
I hope they don't make any contact.
:43:31
Because if they make contact...
:43:34
and if something is going on there...
:43:36
we will probably have a raid
of the Amahuacas down here.

:43:42
And it's all because the river
is so unusually low.

:43:45
You can see all these riverbanks. Sometimes
the water went all the way up to that camp...

:43:49
about six, seven yards higher-
:43:53
about 20 feet higher or so.
:43:56
And now, uh, turtles come
to the sandbanks and lay their eggs.

:44:01
Uh, and the Amahuacas come
very, very far down to dig for turtle eggs.

:44:06
And that's why this clash came.
:44:09
But I have also asked for the assistance
of some of the Campas...

:44:14
which is very unusual because, uh...
:44:16
Machiguengas here in this area
were afraid of the Campas.

:44:19
There's always...
:44:22
a feeling of terror when you speak
about the Campas of Gran Pajonal.

:44:37
I can't stop them here.
:44:40
It would be impossible.
I would interfere in their-

:44:45
How do I say?
In their habits, or in their space of living...

:44:51
if I kept them back.
:44:53
And if I let them go - as it has happened
I couldn't stop them anyway-

:44:57
there might be
a - a more serious incident, and...
