They have no written language, but they pass on their history and knowledge through songs and stories about their ancestors. Until quite recently, the tribe had little to do with other tribes, although their history stories speak of fighting with other tribes. In 1958 there were about four main groups of Waorani (about 500 people in all) spread over 20,000 kilometres. That year the tribes had their first relationship with people from outside the community. Since then the fighting with other tribes has decreased.
