"Contact with different cultures on your planet has been happening for quite some time. There are certain cultures—most of them indigenous cultures on your planet—that have known for many thousands of years of our existence and have interacted with us in a variety of ways, so this has been going on, open contact with these indigenous cultures, for a long, long time, for millennia."
