(Laughter) I had received the shaman's blessing to study the river, on the condition that after I take the water samples and analyze them in my lab, wherever I was in the world, that I pour the waters back into the ground so that, as the shaman said, the waters could find their way back home.
(Risos) Eu havia recebido a benção do xamã para estudar o rio, com a condição de que depois de levar as amostras de água e analisá-las no laboratório, onde quer que eu estivesse no mundo, eu jogasse as águas de volta ao solo para que, como dizia o xamã, as águas pudessem retornar para casa.
