They have incredible craftsmanship, and then you see all the little string on there is plant fibers that they've woven, and then this is them.

And so the fact that we're sitting here talking on microphones and that we have airplanes and cell phones and all the things that we have in the modern world, and there's still, we still live in this age where there's right now at this moment, people living out in the jungle who have been there since before history is an incredible thing.
