The main reason I think of as to why she lied about what happened is because if you think about it, her goal from the start was to help put a end to female genital mutilation aka, (FGM)…
Here’s a little recap: Looking back at the very beginning of the film, when she is in class learning about these tribes and their cultural way of doing things such as FGM; (hence why she wanted to join the group in the first place to make a change when it comes to procedures like this being done.) She knew that if things worked out for the saving the amazon forest project that it would most likely help in effectively making other changes such as to stop FGM. So, once she is finally at the tribe & one of the main things that happens to her is almost the same concept as what was explained in her class room, which makes her able to unfortunately see what it’s like for these women & the pain/suffering they endure during this process. That’s why I believe she lied at the end of the movie about the way things went down while she was at the tribe. - She felt as if she could still make a difference in cultures like this by not telling the truth about what really happened because everyone would look at the tribe as good people for “helping her” & be willing to help in return. Which like I explained earlier, her main goal from the beginning was to hopefully put a stop to FGM. * Just a thought * 😊
