Huaorani: first contact and murder of missionaries. Operation “Auca”

Episode is about consequences of Operation Auca: In 1955, five young American missionaries flew to Ecuador. Their dream was to be the first to discover uncontacted Waorani tribe. The missionaries knew of the brutality of these Indians, but believed they could approach them. The operation was called "Auca," which means "savage". The missionaries kept its details a closely guarded secret, recording every step on an amateur camera. The first steps of Operation Awka were successful. The missionaries discovered the settlements by flying around selected area and then began exchanging gifts with them. They dropped knives and other useful items from the plane on a rope until they received their first gifts, a parrot and a roasted monkey. Taking this as a sign of friendliness missionaries decided to meet the tribe in person. On January 6, 1956, an important historical event occurred: the most significant contact with the Waorani, which subsequently changed the culture of an entire tribe. But then the entire group was stabbed to death with spears. Just because of one photo. The Americans did not use weapons until the last, but it was useless. Later events changed everything. The same tribe did come into contact with the civilized world. But it was preceded by a story worthy of an adventure movie script. It has room for love and faith in people, and brutal killings. Watch its footage exclusively in the new episode of World Inside Out Ecuador.
