News From South America: James Cameron goes Native

See this audio slideshow of James Cameron in the Amazon, with his face painted like a native here:

On a more serious note, Cameron teemed with native inhabitants of the region to fight the construction of the Belo Monte dam on the Amazon River, which the Brazilian government plans to build, that would be the 3rd largest dam in the world.

The natives were shown the movie "Avatar" shortly before Cameron's arrival, as most of them did not know who he was.
