Hu Ki Tribe Analysis

In the beginning of my reading, it was talking about the Indian tribe cutting down the tree which I felt like they should have told a ceremony like the one that they do for the killing of an animal. Especially because trees is part of the nature and it represents something big for the wild animals that lives in the jungle such as monkeys. I found that very inhumane by their part but I should understand that it was something that they had to do in order to make money from the various of items that they collected in the jungle so in that part I would have done the same in order to get machetes and Winchester rifles so the tribe could protect themselves. I have noticed that Xumu is a very wise person and an outstanding leader of the Hun Kui tribe,
he plans everything well especially when he picked the men for the trip. Every person was assigned to do something to have a positive result in the end. The chief is a very clever person and that was eye catching for me because the tribe tend to be isolated in the forest and I have recognized that the leader try not to associate his tribe with the outside world. The found it interesting that scouts and hunters went out ahead on foot before they charge locations which shows that the tribe is a highly cautious one. I found it iconic when Manuel tried to remember the few words of Portuguese that he learned when he had come through Brazil with his Peruvian companions which was at least two years.
When Manuel was eating the brazilian food, he said that it reminded him of his past which is a very interesting flashback and something he still remember over the years. I would personally say the same thing especially a food that I really liked when I was a child, I feel like that will always be in the heart and not forgotten. When Manuel mentioned the fact that over two years he haven't had anything seasoned with salt and I found that surprising, but in the other perspective he was now adapted to the food that the Indian tribe eat. His whole body changed dramatically because he was getting used to the unique plants and food of the forest. I also want to mention that I begin to question myself in the part where women wore wide necklaces armbands of beads and animal teeth. The animal teeth was the part where I questioned myself because I would think that the Hun Kui would have done something special such as a ceremony in which to wear something that belonged to an animal. The last part I want to address is that I think it’s something to think about in a religious and spiritual aspect about the spirit of people will just turn into a new body and a old men changed ti boys, old women into
girls.
