HANONIANS

Hanonian tribal leader

The inhabitants of the planet Hanon IV are a pre-warp tribal society at a stage of development comparable with the North American Indians of the 19th century. They use spears, bows and arrows. Voyager's crew was unable to communicate with them save by gestures and actions. By such an action, namely Chakotay's saving of a Hanonian woman from a rock in the midst of a lava flow, the crew won the Hanonians' friendship and gratitude. The universal translator in Voyager's combadges were no use in these circumstances as Culluh, First Maje of the Kazon-Nistrim, confiscated them when he stranded Voyager's crew on Hanon IV in [#43 and #44 Basics].
