Dream Jungle by Jessica Hagedorn is about the clash between cultures and unrelated events of a new (hoax) tribe found and some other bullshit. Why does art have to mirror life? Hoax tribes are just that, phony, and the pissant circus ass clowns that lead the flock astray- if one crosses my path, I will beat the shit out of one with a sock filled with rocks and jelly beans.

"At Yakutat, the Tlingit Indians noticed one Filipino among the crew. Malaspina wrote in his journal that the Tlingits visited often while their ships were anchored Yakutat Bay. Malaspina got an insight into the character of the Filipinos by what happened to a Filipino crew member of Atrevida. From the time of their first visit to that convene, the Indians believed that the Filipino was one of them. They closely examined his fair skin, the features of his face, and even the different limbs. They begged the Filipino to remain with the tribe and inquired how he had come among the Spaniards or if he had bought or stolen.
Cutter believed that it was Geronimo Arcangel, one of the Filipino sailors in the Lima expedition, who was examined by the Tlingits."
