I wonder what these people think when they see an airplane overhead?

    i think the bow/arrow pointed at the airplane pretty much sums up what they are thinking...

    It is hard to imagine that there are still such people out there (although it is a good thing). We seem to live in such a small world nowadays.

    No way! We need to spread democracy and freedom to those heathen bastards! Spread the word of Jesus to protect them from burning in eternal hell fire! ;)

    yeah, i can't imagine the fear they had when they first saw/heard the plane.

    imagine just scooping them up and dropping them in the middle of manhattan?

    And don't forget we need to give them western medicine that works on all the diseases they probably have. They need our medical treatment and opinions to make sure they live a fuller, stronger, and healthier life!

    I agree, maybe they have knowledge of oil somewhere!

    We could also send some missionaries to save them

    I'm sure they'd be willing to work for minimum wage. What expenses do they have? This could be good business for Mccy Ds!

    I was thinking the same thing...someone from the airplane should throw an empty coke bottle at them.

    Well, it says something. Do they know that the plane is a device for transporting people, and the bows pointed upward is meant as a warning to outsiders to stay away? Or, do they perceive the plane as a strange threatening animal? I think the latter choice is more fascinating. Can you imagine the tales the hunters are telling around the campfire? It would be so interesting to experience their worldview, since it would not include our modern perspective.

    In spite of how interesting it would be to talk to them, I say leave them the hell alone, and don't do anymore fly overs.

    Uncontacted? Please! The one in black is John. He spent Christmas with my family. We're going to his place next year. Just look at Simon with his bow... *sigh* he'll never change.

    No kidding, that Simon is always poisoning things with his arrows first and then asking questions later. You should have seem him hunting with Cheney; I thought for sure they were going to accidently kill each other...

    I dont think they think that the plane is an animal. They have possibly been there 1000's of years. They are probably well aware of all the local animals. The plane probably did scare the shit out of them.
