		Deep in the heart of the jungles of Ecuador, along the Amazon River basin, the Waodani Indians are murdering each other to the point of near-extinction.
		Then, on Jan. 3, 1956, after weeks of what seems to be a progressing relationship (the Waodani have begun to place gifts of their own in the bucket), Nate and his friends, Jim Elliot, Roger Youderian, Pete Fleming and Ed McCully, land the plane on a sandbar and make face-to-face contact with the Waodani.
		The Waodani incorporate the spirit world into their everyday existence by doing such things as placing dead babies in the river so their spirits "won't wander." After the beachfront massacre, the killers reason that they "have angered the spirits." When Mincayani is reunited with his grown-up sister, he insists she is a spirit.
