Brief description: The Harakbut grandparents say that we are the children of Anamei, the tree of salvation. The Anamei arose from the union of a chaste Harakbut girl and a parrot. It was there that a lush and giant tree grew which housed and welcomed the Harakbut in its branches while a great fire raged and destroyed humans.
