Hi /lit/. Are there any good first-hand accounts of explorers meeting with indigenous people, and where the explorers affect their lives?
Think Star Trek, just real. I'm really interested in this kind of encounter, but I don't know where to start.

Everything surrounding Napoleon Chagnon's contact with the Yanomamo people would be good. The anthropological account he wrote (called Yanomamo: The Fierce People) is a surprisingly fun read. His impacts (good and bad) on the Yanomamo were widely discussed and debated, and prompted a bit of soul-searching by anthropologists.
There are also videos of first contacts on youtube.
