Amazon Tribesmen Aim Arrows at Passing Plane
Experts with the Brazilian Indian Affairs department captured rare photos of a lost Amazon tribe while flying over one of the remotest corners of the South American jungle. The pictures show loincloth-clad warriors decked out in bright red body paint--waving bows and arrows at the photographers.
The experts who took the photographs say they arranged the flights in order to raise awareness about the more than 100 so-called uncontacted tribes living in the Amazon. These groups are currently in danger due to logging and the loss of their land.
Most of the isolated Amazonian tribes are spread throughout Brazil and Peru. Let the countdown for jungle vacation packages with mud massages and poison dart-making classes commence!
