My reaction and interaction with the native people varied depending on the specific circumstances. Generally, I tried to approach them with respect and an open mind, understanding that they had their own cultures, traditions, and ways of life that were different from my own.

I was fascinated by the diversity of indigenous peoples that I encountered during my travels, and I tried to learn as much as I could about their customs, beliefs, and history. I participated in ceremonies, observed their traditional practices, and listened to their stories with genuine interest and curiosity.

At times, I struggled to communicate with the native people due to language barriers, but I found that gestures, smiles, and simple phrases could go a long way in bridging the gap. I also made an effort to learn some basic phrases in their language to show my respect and appreciation for their culture.

Overall, my interactions with the native people were enriching and eye-opening experiences that deepened my understanding of the world and the importance of cultural diversity. I learned valuable lessons about tolerance, humility, and the importance of preserving and respecting the heritage and rights of indigenous communities.
