I wondered what an indigenous tribe would think of an air conditioner

I once worked with a team of professionals who worked to learn about this isolated village that was entirely separated from the rest of the world… These indigenous people knew nothing about the world surrounding them, they just lived in the jungle as well as had a really interesting way of life. These people were studied before correct contact was eventually made. They were able to make peace as well as the two of us were able to learn the language… Then every one of us did have a rule though not to try to spoil these people with our advanced technologies in the beginning… But then the guy who took over the project had a different approach, however he said that when the two of us were able to communicate, the two of us would be able to trade with these people so the two of us could benefit from each party. They would bless us with knowledge of their ancestors as well as how they came to be in this village; and the two of us could bless them with different types of things such as a portable HVAC proposal with solar charging capability. But I ended up making some good friends in this village as well as they taught me a lot about their ways of life. They did end up trading things, but a lot of our technology they were not even interested in! While they thought the cooling component was somewhat remarkable, they thought it was unnatural as well as possibly some type of evil witchcraft. It wasn’t simple trying to explain technology that I don’t even guess that much about myself, but I could tell them it honestly wasn’t witchcraft. I haven’t been on the team for a few years now, but I am making plans to go back soon to see my friends in the jungle.
