Background The Amerindian race has survived on its planet like a people protected by Federation restriction law number 976/alfa/gamma, which allows only study through automatic means (such as satellites) and study missions by experienced and authorized group of scientists, camouflaged to be similar to the natives. The only exception of this law is the permission to land on the planet to save a ship in danger; and in this case, the Captain has to avoid breaking General Order One.
Editors Notes From colonization the Amerindians civilization has not changed a lot; but the growth of population has brought a lot of tribes to explore new areas. Some psicohistory expert pretend the new environment will bring new idea and the start of a technological civilization, but the most popular opinion is that Amerindian society will still remain the same for a very long period.

The world is protected by a sophisticated system of deflection of unknown origin.  Spock seemed pretty sure that it was left behind by the mysterious, unseen Preservers
