content: Edited film: members of a Cashinawa village pick and pulverize the poisonous leaves of baka bushes, which are emptied into the river to stun fish. Men kill the stunned fish with bow and arrow, while women and children collect the dead fish. The fish are smoked over a fire, and a feast is held.
