for the war cry.

Wait for the war cry.

Go. This way.

Go. Go.

You are not Fierce.

Father...

we will tell our children...

the story of what you did for us.

You will always live in our hearts...

and in our dreams.

Tommie, my son.

Do you see that?

Do you know what it is?

Wanadi said...

it is a big log jam.

Yes. Lots of logs and the river...

cannot flow.

Because of that log jam...

more white people will come here...

and enter the world

and cut down more trees...

and take what is yours.

They will not find us.

We are The Invisible People.

They will, Tommie.

They will see you.

Father...

if that is a log jam...

water can break it.

No.

A great food of water

can break it.

No.

Not this kind of log jam.

You remember.

The frogs sing and it rains.

We will ask the frogs

to sing very loud.

The rain?

It has been raining for two days.

We have been to the river.

A big food is coming.

...and every stream

has its spirit snake...

and all the spirit snakes

meet in the big river...

and twist around each other...

to become one, the greatest one...

the greatest spirit of all spirits...

The Great Anaconda...

and nothing can stop

the Great Anaconda...

not even a log jam..

because it is angry, very...

very angry.

See. Samanpo and Caya.

And Mapi?

Mapi and Kaba.

It is time to settle these matters.

And Jabuti?

It will be Pucu...

but they do not know it yet.

There will be some without men.

You should marry one or two of them.

If you say so.

There is only you, Kachiri.
