1: The Jungle Mission to Majawana
'Our way of speaking will pass away - all our descendants will be proper Venezuelans. We'll be just like the foreigners. That's fine.' (MARIANO, the first
Christian Sanema).
The Sanema tribe is one of the most remote, independent and feared of all the Amazonian Indians. It was only in 1973 that Pastor Hernan Artigas came to
Majawana and carved the first mission out of the rain forest of the Upper Orinoco. For the majority of the Sanema, little has changed since the Stone Age. Life revolves around hunting, story-telling and contact with the forest spirits. But now they are meeting the 20th-century world of Hernan. It is a culture shock from which they may never recover.
