The true story of a Christian missionary's encounter with a skeptical Brazilian Indian tribe that has no creation myth, and only believes in what they see. In my opinion, this is well worth watching.

(This video is made from BBC Radio audio of words from Daniel Everett's Don't Sleep, There are Snakes, plus photos.)

I had the pleasure of listening to Daniel Everett speak at the Freedom From Religion Foundation annual convention last year. Most fascinating. His book is on my teetering stack to read.

It's on my virtual stack, too. I can't afford to buy even the paperback right now, but perhaps I can get it through my local public library.
