Describe the native culture that you encounter. What are some skills/knowledge that you could learn from this culture?.
 * 5**. After hiking all day and night through hurricanes and bug infested jungles you come upon something that resembles civilization.

The native culture is primitive and tribal. They resemble Native Americans. We could learn to hunt and fish from them. They could also teach us to make tools and weapons and identify plants and food.

After some of the local tribes helped to feed and shelter you, they guide you onto a path that leads to a town. On the trail your memory starts to come back and you begin to put the pieces back together of what really happened.... a beginning of another mystery The weather was mostly very nice. We learned how to find food and hunt. We also enjoyed meeting the natives and learning from them. On the flight there was a fight between the tribal people. Weapons were thrown and one went through the front window because the door was open and the pilot was being attacked. The wind was so strong that they could not reach the cockpit and the plane crashed into the ocean. From the island we made friends with the tribal people. We used their tools to build a yacht out of the tall tree trunks and sheets of metal from the plane that had washed up on shore. We then hired the natives to row the oars and paid them with knowledge of reading by giving them magazines. After three days we saw land and a village with a phone. We called for a bus and the tribals went home.
 * Remember to write three things that you learned and liked about your island.
 * *Extra Credit* Write me a **short (one page, no more)** explanation of how you got home and what really happened on your flight. **(use your imagination! I know you have one)**
