What was said
"They kill somebody um it's they had uh they were facing hunger for the first time in their history because of dams that were causing the river to get too low and the fish were leaving."
Daniel Everett alleges the Pirahã began facing hunger after dams lowered river levels and reduced fish stocks. He claims they stole livestock from a farm he describes as on their reservation, and that three men pursued them with shotguns before being killed with bows and arrows on Pirahã land.
