16mm color film, silent, 4-3/4 minutes. December 1955. Home movies taken in preparation for the attempt to make contact with the Waorani. Includes views from the air of a Waorani settlement (notice the raised platform built by the Waorani, apparently for better contact with the airplane); Ed McCully and Nate Saint with the apparatus for the bucket drop (actually a canvas sack); Peter Fleming and Quichua Indians preparing materials for a translation of the Bible into the Quichua language; and Ed and Marilou McCully with the bucket drop apparatus that the Waorani used to send gifts back, including a blue parrot.
