Waorani: premier contact et meurtre des missionnaires. Opération "Auca"

The episode deals with the aftermath of Operation Auca. In 1955, five young American missionaries flew to Ecuador. Their dream was to be the first to discover the uncontacted Waorani tribe. The missionaries knew of the brutality of these Indians, but they believed they could get close to them. The operation was called "Auca," which means "savage." The missionaries kept the details highly secret, recording every step on an amateur camera. The initial stages of Operation Awka were successful. The missionaries discovered the settlements by flying around a selected area and then began exchanging gifts with them. They dropped knives and other useful items from the plane on a rope until they received their first gifts: a parrot and a grilled monkey. Taking this as a sign of friendship, the missionaries decided to meet the tribe in person. On January 6, 1956, a significant historical event occurred: the most significant contact with the Waorani, which subsequently changed the culture of an entire tribe. But then, the entire group was stabbed to death with spears. Just because of a photograph. The Americans used weapons only as a last resort, but it was useless. Subsequent events changed everything. The same tribe came into contact with the civilized world. But it was preceded by a story worthy of an adventure movie script. There is room for love and faith in humanity, as well as brutal murders.

They manage to travel to places where humans have never set foot. Dmytro creates the itinerary himself, learns the characteristics of the new place in advance, and tries to survive on his own in practical and primitive conditions. But in reality, he's trying to get used to the role of the locals, not as a foreigner but as a team member, actively trying new trades and new ways of eating, learning local traditions and laws. Dmytro and Oleksandr have visited more than 20 countries, and without a doubt, these were not just short trips but in-depth cultural studies. #Ecuador #Elmundoalrevés #Huaorani
