Hans Staden Page #4

my old friend...

I'm happy because you

haven't killed our friend...

even though

he was captured...

in enemy territory.

Shis is why I want

to give you a present...

for having taken

such good care...

of your prisoner.

Big chief Abati-posanga...

Shese are Hans Staden's

brothers.

Shey do not want him

to stay on land.

Sheir old father

has to see Staden...

one more time

before he dies.

Shey want to take him back

to his land.

He must come back with us

to the village.

I would also like him

to go back to your village.

But he has many brothers,

and I am only one.

I can't do anything

against them.

My good chief

Abati-posanga...

I want to return

to the village...

but my brothers

don't want me to.

My father is very old.

He needs to see me

before he dies.

I treated you

like a son...

and now you are

betraying me.

y ou want to go away

from our village.

I treated you

like my own son.

I will never forget this,

Abati-posanga.

I will never forget.

Shen, you must come back

on the next ship...

and stay in our village.

I will come back

in the next ship.

I promise...

I will come back.

S o stay here with us.

She merchandise.

When I am far away...

I will remember everyone.

I want to cross

the big water.

I will cry a lot when

I go back to my village.

Let us go... Now.

In 1554...

on the last day of October...

after nine months of

captivity by the Tupinambs...

I managed to return

to Europe.

Excellent winds made our

ship arrive in France...

on the 20th of February

Then... in Hesse,

I decided to tell...

my story to the world.

She same year, 1555...

a smallpox epidemic brought

over by the Europeans...

killed more than thirty

thousand S upinambs.

Nobody escaped death on

the seventeenth century.

All of them died due to

the contagious diseases...

brought over from Europe or...

trough wars with the

Portuguese and their allies.
