INCREDIBLE NEW PHOTOS OF A TRIBE LIVING IN TOTAL ISOLATION REVEAL SURPRISES
by ALEXA ERICKSON
It�s so easy to get caught up in what we that we often forget there are so many different
types of realities happening throughout the world, some of which we could have never fathomed
to be true.
While many of us buzz around in our cars, on our phones, in and out of offices, and
relax at restaurants, in our homes in cul-de-sacs or nestled among a big city, hitting the gym,
trendy outfits, or enjoying our eco-friendly flair, there are parts of the world where
such modern life is completely non-existent � to the point where it feels more surreal,
more like a movie setting, than anything else.
But every now and then, we are reminded that life exists outside of our bubble. Aerial
photographs of an isolated tribe in the Brazilian rainforest are one of the most recent examples,
as they expose a look at a Neolithic way of life that has all but vanished from Earth�s
existence.
Brazilian photographer Ricardo Stuckert took high-resolution images, which show a colorful
yet discreet indigenous community living in total isolation within the Amazon jungle.
�I felt like I was a painter in the last century,� Stuckert said to National Geographic
of his reaction to spotting the natives. �To think that in the 21st century, there are
still people who have no contact with civilization, living like their ancestors did 20,000 years
ago�it�s a powerful emotion.�
The photos, which were taken near Brazil�s border with Peru, are revolutionary in the
sense that, because they are so close-up, they reveal specific information about the
Indians that had largely gone unnoticed by experts before, like the emphasis on body
paint and their haircuts.
�We thought they all cut their hair in the same way,� noted Jos� Carlos Meirelles,
an expert on Brazil�s indigenous tribes. �Not true. You can see they have many different
styles. Some look very punk.�
The tribe became the subject of global conversation back in 2008, when agents from Brazil�s
indigenous affairs agency, Funda��o Nacional do �ndio (FUNAI) published images of the
tribesmen covered in red body paint shooting arrows at their hovering airplane. Since then,
the tribe has reportedly moved several times. According to Meirelles, they move locations
about every four years.
Stuckert had boarded a helicopoter with Meirelles to visit the jungle outpost of Jord�o near
the border of Peru when thunderstorms forced the vessel to detour, which ultimately resulted
in the occupants being directly over an isolated settlement of thatched huts in the jungle.
Naked inhabitants of the community reacted with shock, running out of site and into the
forest.
But the tribe�s panic soon turned to curiosity as they returned a few hours later.�They
seemed more inquisitive than fearful,� explained Stuckert to National Geographic. �I felt
there was a mutual curiosity, on their part and mine.�
Because the tribe has never made a successful and peaceful relationship with the outside
world, the name of their tribe is unknown. Brazilian officials therefore call them the
�isolated Indians of the upper Humait�.�
