Ken vs Napoleon

I think what both Ken and Napoleon did are equally horrible. While Napoleon used them as his test subjects and introduced weapons to then, Ken got very tangled up in their culture and family life. Napoleon portrayed the Yanomamo as violent people and made that the stereotype for their group. But Ken got caught in a "relationship" with an eleven year old girl. Because she has now chosen to stay with her people, there is a battle over where their children should live. Ken has also brought more media attention to them due to his "relationship" and trying to blend the two cultures together.
