[Crew] I fear the same will be said about our film
when we're finished too.
[Crew] Were you?
[Pirahã Man] Dan came here. He wanted to learn Pirahã.
I speak to Dan, 'Pirahã is very difficult.'
[Pirahã Man] The American spoke. 'I will bring medicine.
The kids won't be sick.'
The American spoke, 'I will talk to my God.
Your kids won't be sick.'
So we spoke. 'Okay. Talk to your God.'
[Crew] Why do we?
[T.N. Pandit] These are my field notes.
Old ones.
I am the only one who has been inside
the Sentinelese settlement.
No other anthropologist has landed there since.
This happened only once.
Years of friendly visits
had softened their attitude.
I like this picture.
You see, I'm smiling and he is also smiling.
It was a matter of surprise that they had come forward.
Every one of us was handing over coconuts,
like it was a prize distribution.
Then at one point
one of the boys took out a knife
and made a carving motion.
[T.N. Pandit] Perhaps trying to say,
that if you stay on, I will carve out your heart.
I got the hint.
See, they are human beings.
They are not stupid guys.
And that's why they're keeping us away.
Historically, they have seen what happened to other tribes.
Great Andamanese, they have disappeared.
It has not done any great good to the Onge.
'Tomayu' — the evil spirit.
Do you believe in 'Tomayu'?
[Sentinelese Man] Of course we believe in him.
He constantly troubles us.
[T.N. Pandit] It troubles you? But, how?
- He captures men. - Captures?
[Sentinelese Man] That's why we are scared to go far.
- What do you call it? -"Tomayu."
[T.N. Pandit] Does it rise from the sea?
[Sentinelese Man] He may rise from the sea or from anywhere.
He comes hunting for men.
- And then? - He takes them away.
- Where? - To his place.
[T.N. Pandit] Today you are given a coconut,
tomorrow you are given something else.
[T.N. Pandit] This is a popular picture of the Sentinelese.
But the photographer told me,
he had taken several hundred pictures.
They were not only aiming arrows at us,
they were doing other things.
Some pictures where they were standing doing nothing
and watching us...
would have been interesting.
But what is published is sensational,
showing them as violent...
ready to shoot.
Violence is not only killing someone,
violence is — you are made to do things
against your will.
Violence is using...
harsh words while describing them.
I am shouting myself hoarse,
protect them.
Outsiders coming there,
with friendship in their hearts,
can do a lot of damage.
[Pirahã Man] We don't want anything up high.
We want things that are on the ground.
God is a foreigner.
We don't know Him. We don't want Him.
[Crew] Who was that for John?
