Huaorani: End of the Spear and other Missionary Fictions 
Political stories, be it in Iraq or South America start with small lies. Then they become "true" history.
This is a piece from history back decades ago, when these missionaries were working in South America. Now it is a movie being fed to those who don't know the history involved. Repackaged we call it. Will anyone challenge this history being fed to young people?
Rachel Saint was part of a missionary team that went in to see the Huaorani in Ecuador.
The Huaorani were pressed by rubber slavers and explorers for oil. Noteworthy are SIL and CIA connections in this regard.
The Huaorani were doing their best to defend their lands.
The Missionaries approached the village and killed two Huaorani with guns when some kind of confrontation occured. The five missionaries were then killed by the Huaorani. The details that two of the Huaorani were killed by the missionaries first was covered up in the Rachel Saint mission story which is now made into a movie about the heroic missionaries gone to "Save" the "Savages".
The original story was posted all over the world making the missionaries martyrs for the American way. No mention was made of the killing of the Huaorani.
The book "Thy Will be Done" by Colby gives a detailed account.
Young people only see the carefully doctored "truth" that the fundamentalists show them.
