The Olinka people found humor in the missionaries' teachings about Adam and Eve's nakedness, especially when the missionaries insisted on imposing clothing on them. They explained to the missionaries that in their culture, it was not their custom to view nudity in the same way. For the Olinka, being "naked" is associated with being white, and they believe that their own skin color provides them with a natural covering that makes nudity irrelevant.

This exchange highlights the cultural differences between the missionaries and the Olinka people regarding perceptions of modesty and identity. The Olinka's perspective emphasizes how societal norms shape understanding of concepts like nudity, showing that what is considered nakedness in one culture can have an entirely different meaning in another.
