They wanted something more authentic, not as forced. The Europeans were also asking questions on how they deal with the oil companies and the environment issues.
In Bodley, he talks about the affects of tourism in indigenous cultures. Bodely says, "indigenous peoples are marginalized by tourism" (page 130). What he means by this is that when these tourists come to these indigenous cultures they feel superior to them and make the indigenous feel like they are in some way poor but noble people who were left in the middle of now where. In the Article we two different groups of tourist and how they acted towards the Huaorani. We saw that sometimes the Huaorani were treated as an exhibit and other times they were put on the same level as the tourists. Bodley mentions, "The cultural tourism industry is not entirely negative" (page 131). He also goes on to say that indigenous people can use tourism to help them "maintain economic self-sufficiency."(page131). Even though these people are somewhat being taken advantage, they are also taking advantage of the tourists. .
Another text we read that dealt with tourism was Twisted Histories, altered contexts. In this book we say a group of indigenous people struggle with tourism. They were happy because now they didnt have to hunt for all their food and goods. The money from tourists made them self-sufficient. The struggle was more in how they felt they were treated, or shall we say "marginalized". They would put on shows and would expect the tourists to join in and sometimes they did, but they mainly just took photos of the Chambri and did not participate. Basically, there was a power struggle where the chambri would try and make the tourists do things and the tourists just wanted to give them money and watch them perform. We can relate this to the Europeans in Bramans article. Not so much that the Huaorani wanted to control the Europeans, but that the Europeans werent really interested in interacting with the Huaorani.
