In ancient times, the white people did not exist and we lived hunting with our yãmĩyxop spirits. But the white people came, cut down the forest, dried up the rivers and frightened all the animals away. Today we have no more big trees, the white people have surrounded us and our land is tiny. But our yãmĩyxop spirits are very strong and they teach us the stories songs of the ancient people who were here.
