Cultural Intervention In Saul's Machiguengas

There is an active representation of both in the narrator's quest. There's Saul's voice in the beginning, who doesn't want any influence on the Machiguenga tribe and spells out his tribal experiences with great enthusiasm. On the other hand, we hear the narrator intervene these thoughts by privileging the hablador's role from a Peruvian perspective. By being a hablador of a pure native culture, Saul recounts that there aren't any easy solutions to the problems of cultural intervention in Machiguengas case by referring to his birthmark, that he would have been condemned for having it. In the end, Saul's autobiography as the cultural text questions the tribe's attitude and betrays his beliefs.

By this, it does seem that finding Saul's identity
was the main aim of narrator's journey. The last text justifies the need to write the story about the storytellers after judging all the relevant sides attached to Saul's story.
