End of the Spear plot
"Dare to Make Contact"
"End of the Spear" is the story of the Indian Mincayani, who is part of the very violent Waodani tribe in the jungles of Ecuador. This tribe's motto is: kill with the spear or you will be killed by the spear. One day in 1956 five missionaries are killed by the Waodani. This turns out to be the turning point in their lives, such that at some point they seek peace with the Native American tribes that were once their rivals. And to top it all off, include the descendants of the slain missionary Nate Saint, whose son Steve, now grown to adulthood, has come to visit the Waodani to learn how his father's last hours went.
