Crocker says the Canela's sexual customs began to disappear after the arrival of traders, who brought in material goods such as machetes, axes, pots and pans, introducing the idea of exclusive ownership. The missionaries came next. The evangelists, who arrived in the early 1970s, translated the Bible into Canelan and did their part to discourage the tribe's sexual intimacy.
So the Canelas 'free' lifestyle which is done in 'the spirit of joy and fun' was discouraged by evangelists? To me, this is a slight on the Bible and the morality taught within it. How dare those evangelists try to spread the Gospel. Look what they've tried to do to the 'free' people in Brazil!!
