The articles said they had contact with the people. They lowered gifts to the tribe and the tribe started sending some gifts back. That went on for 13 weeks.
A girl had ran away from the tribe because they were killing each other over the women because they were in short supply. The tribe was killing themselves into extinction.
She failed to tell the missionaries that. So when five men set out to meet the tribe the tribe decided to kill the foriegners. Maybe because they were men. I don't know. I haven't seen the movie yet.
