What were these tribespeople thinking when they saw a airplane?
"You know, we've been seeing more and more of those damn things...
I'm starting to think maybe those guys way over on the east side of the mountain weren't bullsh!tting us about those "air-planes""
What, other than hunting, would they use weapons for? They've obviously had some hostile contact with other people/tribes.
"Now I kinda feel bad for killing those folks for bullsh!tting us...".
Just because they've "never been contacted" directly, doesn't mean they're ignorant savages... necessarily. Of course, they might be. But I think there's every reasonable chance they've had enough contact with other tribes/groups that have had direct dealings with "the outside world" that they're not completely ignorant of the rest of the world.
Certainly would be an interesting group of folks to meet...
(heck, the chance for genetic testing of an isolated group like that alone is worth the trip!... assuming they're interested in helping us out).
