This unusual pavilion is modeled on an aborigine hut and is named for 2,000
tribal groups throughout the world which are still so primitive that they have
no written language. It is sponsored by the Wycliffe Bible Translators, an
American society dedicated to carrying the scriptures to primitive peoples. The
WBT reduces their unwritten tongues to simple phonetic systems, and translates
the Bible into this new, easily understood writing. In the pavilion is a
museum of artifacts from many different tribes. Five contemporary paintings
depicting Amazon scenes are displayed in an adjoining theater. From time to time
demonstrations of the translating process are also given by WBT scholars.
