Black Sun Rising part 2
What can be verified began in 1972 in a sweltering bar in a city called Manaus. The isolated city adorns the jungles navel where the black swirling waters of the Rio Negro flow into the vast brown water of the Amazon. German journalist Karl Brugger met with a deeply tanned and lithely muscled man of obvious European descent who spoke broken German, Portuguese and Quechua Indian. He was reputed by the Yaminauá and Cashinahua tribes to be a great chief and called himself Tatunca Nara. Brugger, leery of the man’s claims as to his identity, checked with the authorities in Rio de Janeiro, Brasilia, Manaus and Rio Branco. What he found was documentation beginning in 1968 when the White chief had saved the lives of twelve Brazilian officials whose plane had crashed in Acre; Brazils uncharted jungle province bordering Peru. He had obtained their release from the Haisha Indians and brought the officials in to Manaus. Tatunca Nara was vouched for by officers at the highest level of the Brazilian Secret Service. From 1969 – 1971 he had led the Indians in their doomed war against the encroaching White settlers seeking to mine their homeland in Peru’s wild province of Madre de Dios. He had fled across the border to Brazil when the war was lost. In the capital of Acre; Rio Branco, he managed to enlist the help of Bishop Giocondo Grotti in his ongoing efforts to obtain aid for his people. But the Bishop died in a plane crash three months later. Peru was now unsuccessfully seeking his extradition. It seems Tatunca Nara was the real life Tarzan and held in the highest reverence by Brazil’s military who had no use for Peru.
