Long story goes before every fight -- Beginning: split truth. It's never beautiful where you aren't wanted ; You are so brave ; Not every spirit is what he appears ; Our pain is not our spirits' fault ; We want you so much -- Middle: doesn't-grab-women. Father eagle never found his eaglet ; Blinded by lies ; Very nice word ; Pulling his eye down ; We can have both ways -- End: nobody's that stupid. They think we're animals ; Why don't you leave? ; Vengeance is mine ; Killers like me ; Epilogue: be good to her ; Author's addendum: so many of them are dead -- Appendix. 'Yanomamo: noble savages or Hobbesian brutes?" ; "Missionaries 1, anthropologists, 0 ; "Yanomamology, missiology, and anthropology" -- Glossary -- Family relations -- Legend of characters and locations -- Documentation.
