Language and values of an Amazon tribe

This article is about a very secluded tribe in Amazon, and a bit about how they live, communicate, and what their values are.  One of the very few missionaries went to the tribe hoping to convert it, but is instead converted by it.

I read this story from The Guardian.  It makes one wonder what makes one culture or value set superior to another:
