The metal cooking pots are traded from other tribes or even left as gifts in the jungle by the Brazilian gov't department responsible for the native well being.

The colour on the skin is generally insect repellent-juice from Annatto/Achiote seed or something similar.


It sure is easy to see who's never been in the tropical jungle here-I have-those of you who haven't come across as true jackasses.

It's one thing to be a jackass but to be proud of it?

well it was a nice day dream for a few minutes. To think that there was a culture not changed by capitalism
Innocence lost, eh....

They'd be better off not found. Some human rights group would be all over them causing more damage than capitalism ever could. No money? No interest to money takers....

Would be nice to know what they know. See things how they see them. Without changing them. Unless they want to change...but that's a whole other story/tale/debate/

I know. It's about the hoax this same group pulled back then. So as I said, I'd be careful.
ah okay,
from what I have just read I would say there are no longer any tribes who've had no contact, there are only tribes who choose to remain contactless... and that makes the most sense in today's world.
