Medical care Quote by Scott Wallace

““His intentions were pure, at least he thought so; he wanted to get the Indians to medical care quickly. But the more he thought about it, the more he sensed an underlying, unconscious arrogance in his own gesture: See? Our way is so much better than yours. He’d unwittingly begun the assault on the Guajá’s values and identity that plagued every tribe following contact. Such incidents ended up haunting many sertanistas to their dying days, Possuelo said; trying to save the Indians, they’d succeeded in hastening their demise.””
