The first inhabitants of the new continent arrived in Guyana more than 10,000 years ago. In 1498, when Christopher Columbus landed there, dozens of millions of them lived there organised in real nations with their villages, wars and commercial exchanges. Nowadays, there are only 6,000 left. Fred, Jamy and Sabine are taking part in the meeting of one of the six peoples still existing in Guyana: the Waianae. In order to escape from the massacres and epidemics caused by the colonisation, the Wayanas went deep into the forest. "C'est pas sorcier" tells us how they are living today.
