Unbeknown at the time to Itaki, declaration would even infiltrate his own family. He discovered that his own daughter, Laca, was about to give birth, so she to would have to sacrifice her firstborn child.

In his daughter's despair, she locked herself in her room, refusing to eat or drink anything. One night, she heard what she interpreted to be her baby's cries. She stumbled out of the house immediately and there, resting under a palm tree, appeared a vision of the baby she had lost.

The next morning, the tribe descended to this palm tree and discovered the dead body of the tribal chiefs daughter. As they looked up at the palm tree, they noticed clumps of blue berries, which later became known as acai berries.
