"The Surui call Google "ragogmakan", or "messenger", because they are
using our tools to get their message out. Although we traveled to the
Amazon rain forest expecting to be the teachers, there are lessons for
all of us in the story of the Surui. As they engage with the modern
world, they are making choices about what to adopt, adapt or reject. If
we pay attention, we may have as much to learn from them as they from us."
The Surui seem to know the lesson in my sig already. Will we ever learn...?
