Demarcation Diaries
8 September 2001
Bryan: We have welcomed our many new members of our project on board
today. They arrived all together, 3 members of the Deni tribe, two
GPS position experts, a reporter and cameraman from Global
Manaus, the Manaus news TV station, Nilo, our Greenpeace Deni
expert and coordinator, and Janine, the final member of my team
that is going to tackle the Xerua West part of our demarcation. more
Kontau: I tried my best to introduce myself to the Deni, and learned their
difficult names by heart. With some help, I explained to them
where China is. It is not easy, trust me. Then I took out the map of the
Deni land, pointed to the Deni and asked "aku? aku?" (meaning "where," one
of the few Deni words I learned from the dictionary prepared by Nilo). more
Paula, Samuel and Petros (Cuniua Team): This morning we started the trip down the Cuniua river in the
Zumbi. The piums start with their job at the same time and they

stay that way...) more
