"On 5 March 1972 the hunters reached a place called Silva-cué south of the road in the state land area called "Zona F". On 6 March they captured a band of some 80 Achés at about 15 kilometers from Silva-cué. These had in the past months suffered considerable persecution at the hands of Paraguayans (see above under "The Extermination of the Forest Aché" No. 4): their hunting area had been reduced, and since they had fired an arrow at a soldier from Santo Domingo a short time before, they were already waiting for the final attack of the Whites.
It seems that they had fatalistically decided to give up. The hunters first surrounded them in silence, and then suddenly appeared and frightened them with a lot of noise. The frightened forest Achés, some of whom had previously been captured temporarily by Paraguayans, knew the white man's gestures.
They raised their hands as a sign of capitulation and cried "Aniki japiti!" (Guaraní for "Do not shoot!"). One of them, nevertheless, did not drop his bow at once, and was immediately killed by the hunters, most probably by the "tame" Aché Kajawachúgi (Jacinto Pereira). The hunters first raped the young women, and then brought the entire band to Silva-cué, where they stayed approximately one day. A military truck transported both hunters and hunted back to the Reservation. As there was little room on the truck, the Achés had to stand very close to each other, so that those who got sick from fear and from the unaccustomed movement, vomited on the bodies of those next to them.
The details of this hunt have been related to me by the driver, by Jesús Pereira , and by the Achés. They have been confirmed by people who visited the area shortly afterward [71]."
