Two more issues came to mind regarding this tribe.
1. The xigagai account is evidence of the supernatural. THere's a group of people, otherwise known to be sane and down-to-earth, not prone to religion, who only believe in what they've seen themselves or heard first-hand from an eyewitness, and they see and hear this spirit in daylight while it's not seen or heard by another group of observers.
2. These people are amazingly simple in terms of language and culture. They have very few sounds in their language, and even no words for colors. They have no interest in constructing things like boats. They have no oral history. Is this what we would expect to find considering current thought on human migration? They could be explained as ancient and isolated if found in Africa, but South America is supposedly the last place humans reached. Were there only a few sounds, no words for colors, and no oral histories at the time people reached South America? Or, did these people devolve, actually losing such things?
