Sometimes I wish I could be as ignorant of the wider world as these guys.

That is amazing. It's great that they are still free to live the way they want. I had no idea cultures like this still existed.
I hope the Brazilian government manages to protect them.

Oddly enough, when I first looked at them I wondered about the possibility of them being fake.
I think though (I would hope) that Survival International would go some way to checking this before they went to press.
We could set Para to task on this. She used to work for them.

I suppose dialectically they would be (or the Old Scots "Fleeto" in the case of the West Highland tribes; however the anthropological convention is correct in the current context.

No seriously..what was the night's discussion around the old tribal fire, eh?
Old Man: Today Little Palm and Muddy Bird scare away giant shiny loud bird with arrow! We very proud.
Younger Tribe Member: Ha! I will shoot down the shiny bird that flys high next time! We will eat many moons!
Old Scary Shaman Guy: No, no. It is sign from the forest gods. You all must give me many fruit and meat so I can chant all night next to sacred fire.
