Baka

The Baka interact and socialize with men who come from a different “civilized” background than them. They are a semi-nomadic group that roams the rain forest taking up temporal residence in specific areas. These areas tend to offer rich games and natural resources, which benefit the hunting and gathering ways of the Baka. Their hunting, gathering, and harvesting ways are sociologically complex and form an integral part of their cosmologies.

Through the use of a plant known as the Milletia vine, the men would create a chemical, which would make the fish float to the surface of the water. They did this by macerating the vine, and rinsing the pulp from it into the water. Once the fish floated to the surface, they were easily caught and the river remained unharmed. Their history
