Chagabi Etacore: The leader killed by contact with the outside world
Chagabi Etacore was a young child in 1986 when he heard a helicopter hovering over his home in Paraguay's Chaco forest.
A battle ensued, but the Ayoreo Totobiegosode eventually submitted and were forced into the trucks. They were driven to a base set up by a group of American fundamentalist Christians known as the New Tribes Mission. As a teacher, health worker, film-maker, deforestation activist, political negotiator, translator and father of three, Chagabi achieved much in his short life.The Chaco forests of Paraguay and Bolivia are inhabited by about 5,000 Ayoreo, of which the Ayoreo Totobiegosode - Chagabi's tribe - are a sub-group. Their name translates as"people from the land of the wild pigs".
