Say you are the last survivor of an elite research team who discovered a tribal society deep in the jungle that practiced human sacrifice, cannibalism, and slavery. The rest of your colleagues were captured, tortured unspeakably, killed, and eaten by the members of this tribe. You have video evidence of their violence against your crew. What should be done about this society you encountered?

I would want to get these people some help.Obviously they were taught to live this way and they need to get the help they deserve.As much as I would be hurting by the loss of my colleagues, I would not feel right leaving these peopleand it could happen to others if they were simply left and ignored.It would do no good having them tortured and killed because we would be no better then them.Hopefully they could get better with our help.

I would pray for them.
I know that is probably not the answer that you’d be expecting.
Here is why
A few years ago I was at a concert in San Jose.
They showed some old 50’s home movies of a young missionary that was no older than I was when I saw it (So I found that could easily relate). Jim Elliot and four of his friends Pete Fleming, Ed McCully, Nate Saint, and Roger Youderian, set out to spread the Gospel to some tribes in Ecuador. They did so by offering medicines and such to the locals. There was this one particularly nasty tribe. The Acua. No one would take the missionaries to them. This tribe was so violent that they not only raided and killed other tribes but also their own tribe members. The group spotted the Acua huts while flying over the region. They landed on a sand bar. The next film clip was of the search for them, locating the landing site, and the wrecked camp. They had all been killed by the natives. The film then went on to show the wives. They were different. They wanted to go see where their husbands were killed. They sought no vengeance though it would have seemed just. They instead intended to take up where their husbands had left off. As crazy as it sounds they even took their little kids.
The lights came up and a man walked onto the stage. We found out that this was one of the kids we had just seen in the movie. As he talked about the loss of his father and growing up in the jungles of Ecuador it was obvious that he was well educated. He continued until he talked about the day he meet the man who killed his father. A wrinkled little old brown man walked out to stand next to the young tall blond man.
Who interpreted for him. He was once an Acua. But now they understood their sins and wanted the world to know them as Waodoni. He knew a boy to be the son of the man he had slain. He was ashamed and waited a long time before he could say anything. He got to know the boy, and was sad that he had no father. He finally came to the boy admitted his sin and begged forgiveness. The boy respected him for coming forward and though he would not forget he had been raised as a Christian and found it in his heart to forgive.
The little man accepted the forgiveness but felt that he had taken something so he had to give something in return of equal value. It would only be right. So everyone is thinking what could a little old man living in poverty in a jungle have of value to an international traveler? The old man asked the boy to allow him to offer his own life and to be his father. There on the stage was a man who not only stood next to his father’s murderer, but had come to love and respect him as his own.
Actions speak so much louder than words. You can take all the books and verses aside, what that man did is what a true Christian should strive to do. I hope to God I am never tested like that.

Now here is the kicker.
This little old man from a small tribe of a few people was here in the states to be a missionary to the peoples of the USA. All these killings in schools and churches had brought him out of the jungles to be an example of change.

I'd make it into a movie and call it Cannibal Holocaust.

But those sick racist tales come from Colombus and the Christmas Papal Decree of 1492. Where non-christian and evil lands could be colonized for their "own" good. So they embellished stories to demonize and conquer.

First order of business is to make sure the same thing doesn't happen to you. Show your documentary film on Discovery or National Geographic channel and try to put your ordeal behind you with the help of a really good therapist!

I hope this wasn't real. Hahah.

Um, wow. If I escaped, I would probably turn in the video tapes to one of the higher-ups at whatever research team I was working for, and hopefully from there they could capture the society and contain them. They could try to teach them about the error of their ways and try to help them to fit in with the rest of humanity.

Just an idea. Once again, I hope this isn't real, because that would REALLY suck. Hahah.

Probably the same as has been done to every other native society - make a fortune showing the videos on cable, and introduce them to guns, alcohol, KFC, Macdonalds, missionaries and tourists. That'd teach 'em.

Get your butt out of there and encourage others to keep out and leave these aboriginals alone. Or, you can do what was done to the natives of New Guinea by good Christian missionaries - introduces them to refined flour and sugar and slowly killed them off over the next 100 years. Judge not lest you be judged.

depends where it is.. you say "deep in the jungle" but there really arn't any locations lost to the jungle these days. Everything is claimed and accounted for. different countries and their entities have to be handled differently, so whithout knowing where the tribe is located its hard to give an answer. although i prefer a biological assault. cannibalism and human sacrifice sounds like a wonderful breeding ground for disease. afterall, it worked on the indians/native americans/whatever you want to call them, and assuming this "tribe" is quite a bit more primitive than that (and on a much smaller scale) it shouldn't take long at all.

have oprah give me a hug. while she is holding up my book.
sell the script to warner brothers to make the movie.
go to the bank and cash my 5 million dollar check.
start a reality show called how to eat people,
go back to that jungle and have every member of that tribe constantly filmed for the rest of their lives.
bring a busload of fat people there the last one eaten gets a check for a million dollars.
