Les femmes okomatadi, n'ayant pas de plantations à cultiver, passaient le plus clair de leurs jours dans leurs hamacs, à jouer avec les enfants et les petits animaux qui les entouraient, et avec leurs seins dont elles partagent généreusement le lait entre tout ce qui est petit. Nous vîmes ainsi plusieurs fois un bébé d'homme partager sa tétée avec un bébé de chien, ou deux petits singes, rapportés par les chasseurs, prendre la place de deux enfants sur la poitrine d'une femme, tandis que les fillettes de la tribu essayaient vainement d'imiter leurs mères en tendant leurs petits seins à leurs frères ou leurs cousins.

Un sale petit vent de Toussaint.

Kaneel werd niet gevonden, maar ze deden wel een veel fantastischer ontdekking: de legendarische Amazone, de langste rivier ter wereld. Ze noemden haar Amazone naar de woeste krijgshaftige vrouwen uit de Griekse mythologie. De mythe van de Amazones werd al snel in verband gebracht met die van Eldorado, het paradijs.
