Surprisingly, there are still the wildest tribes of the Amazon and Africa, who were still able to survive the onset of a ruthless civilization. It is we who are surfing the Internet here, struggling to conquer thermonuclear energy and flying farther into space, and these few remnants of prehistoric times are still leading the same lifestyle that was familiar to them and our ancestors a hundred thousand years ago. In order to fully immerse yourself in the atmosphere of wildlife, it’s not enough just to read the article and look at the pictures, you need to go to Africa yourself, for example, by ordering a safari in Tanzania.

Modern medicine has achieved impressive success, having learned to overcome many diseases that were considered fatal by the ancestors. But it still remains...

The wildest tribes of the Amazon

1. Piraha

The Piraha tribe lives on the banks of the Mayhe River. Approximately 300 natives are engaged in gathering and hunting. This tribe was discovered by the Catholic missionary Daniel Everett. He lived next to them for several years, after which he finally lost faith in God and became an atheist. His first contact with the feast took place in 1977. Trying to convey the word of God to the natives, he began to study their language and quickly achieved success in this. But the more he immersed himself in primitive culture, the more he was surprised.
Piraha have a very strange language: there is no indirect speech, words denoting colors and numerals (everything that is more than two is “a lot” for them). They did not create, as we do, myths about the creation of the world, they do not even have a calendar, but for all this, their intelligence is not weaker than ours. Piraha did not think of private property, they do not have stocks - they immediately eat the caught prey or harvested fruits, so they do not rack their brains over storage and planning for the future. To us, such views seem primitive, however, Everett came to a different conclusion. Living one day and what nature gives, feasts are freed from fears for the future and all sorts of worries with which we burden our souls. Therefore, they are happier than us, so why do they need gods?

2. Sinta larga

In Brazil, there is a wild Sinta Larga tribe of about 1,500 people. Once it lived in the jungle of rubber plants, but their massive felling led to the fact that Sinta larga switched to a nomadic life. They are engaged in hunting, fishing and collecting gifts of nature. Sinta larga are polygamous - men have several wives. During his life, a man gradually acquires several names that characterize either his qualities or the events that happened to him, there is also a secret name that only his mother and father know.
As soon as the tribe catches all the game near the village, and the depleted land ceases to bear fruit, then it is removed from the place and moves to a new place. During the move, the names of Sinta Largs also change, only the “secret” name remains unchanged. To the misfortune of this small tribe, civilized people found on their lands, occupying 21,000 square meters. km, the richest reserves of gold, diamonds and tin. Of course, they could not just leave these riches in the ground. However, the Sinta Largi turned out to be a warlike tribe, ready to defend themselves. So, in 2004, they killed 29 miners on their territory and did not suffer any punishment for this, except that they were driven into a reservation of 2.5 million hectares.

3. Korubo

Closer to the origins of the Amazon River lives a very warlike tribe of Korubo. They live mainly by hunting and raiding neighboring tribes. Both men and women participate in these raids, and their weapons are clubs and poisoned darts. There is evidence that the tribe sometimes comes to cannibalism.

4. Amondava

The Amondawa tribe living in the jungle has no concept of time, there is no such word even in their language, as well as such concepts as “year”, “month”, etc. Linguists were discouraged by this phenomenon and are trying to understand whether it is not characteristic and other tribes from the Amazon basin. Amondava therefore does not mention ages, and when growing up or changing his status in the tribe, the aborigine simply takes on a new name. Also absent in the language of amondava and turns, which describe the process of the passage of time in spatial terms. For example, we say “before this” (meaning not space, but time), “this incident is left behind”, but in the Amondava language there are no such constructions.

World-famous sights look at us from postcards, television screens, various posters and brochures. Their appearance is so familiar and understandable ....

5. Kayapo

In Brazil, in the eastern part of the Amazon basin, there is a tributary of the Hengu, on the banks of which the Kayapo tribe lives. This very mysterious tribe of about 3,000 people is engaged in the usual activities for the natives: fishing, hunting and gathering. The Kayapo are great experts in the field of knowledge of the healing properties of plants, they use some of them to heal their fellow tribesmen, and others for witchcraft. Shamans from the Kayapo tribe treat female infertility with herbs and improve potency in men.
However, most of all they interested researchers with their legends, which tell that in the distant past they were led by heavenly wanderers. The first chief of the Kayapo arrived in a kind of cocoon drawn by a whirlwind. Some attributes from modern rituals are consonant with these legends, for example, objects resembling aircraft and space suits. Tradition says that the leader who descended from heaven lived with the tribe for several years, and then returned to heaven.

The wildest African tribes

6. Nuba

The African Nuba tribe has about 10,000 people. Nuba lands lie on the territory of Sudan. This is a separate community with its own language, which does not come into contact with the outside world, therefore, so far it has been protected from the influence of civilization. This tribe has a very remarkable make-up ritual. The women of the tribe scarify their bodies with intricate patterns, pierce their lower lip and insert quartz crystals into it.
Their marriage ritual associated with annual dances is also interesting. During them, the girls point to the favorites, putting their feet on their shoulders from behind. The happy chosen one does not see the girl's face, but can inhale the smell of her sweat. However, such an “affair” does not at all have to end in a wedding, it is only permission for the groom to sneak secretly from his parents at night into her parents’ house, where she lives. The presence of children is not grounds for recognizing the legality of marriage. A man must live with domestic animals until he builds his own hut. Only then will the couple be able to sleep together legally, but for another year after the housewarming, the spouses cannot eat from the same pot.

7. Mursi

For women from the Mursi tribe, an exotic lower lip has become a visiting card. It is cut even in childhood for girls, pieces of wood are inserted into the cut with time of increasing size. Finally, on the wedding day, a debi is inserted into the sagging lip - a plate made of baked clay, the diameter of which can reach up to 30 cm.
Mursi easily become an inveterate drunkard and constantly carry batons or Kalashnikovs with them, which they are not averse to using. When battles for supremacy take place within a tribe, they often end in the death of the losing side. The bodies of Mursi women usually look sickly and flabby, with saggy breasts and stooped backs. They are almost devoid of hair on their heads, hiding this shortcoming with incredibly magnificent headdresses, the material for which can be anything that comes to hand: dried fruits, branches, pieces of rough skin, someone's tails, marsh molluscs, dead insects and other carrion. It is difficult for Europeans to be near the Mursi because of their unbearable smell.

8. Hamer (hamar)

On the eastern side of the African Omo Valley, the Hamer or Hamar people live, numbering approximately 35,000 - 50,000 people. Along the banks of the river stand their villages, made up of huts with gabled roofs covered with thatch or grass. The entire household is placed inside the hut: a bed, a hearth, a granary and a goat pen. But only two or three wives with children live in the huts, and the head of the family all the time either grazes cattle or protects the tribe's possessions from the raids of other tribes.
Meetings with wives are very rare, and in these rare moments, the conception of children occurs. But even after returning for a short time to the family, the men, having beaten their wives with long rods, are satisfied with this, and go to sleep in pits resembling graves, and even sprinkle themselves with earth to the point of slight asphyxia. Apparently, they like such a semi-conscious state more than intimacy with their wives, and even they, in truth, are not happy with the “caresses” of their husband and prefer to please each other. As soon as a girl develops external sexual characteristics (at about 12 years old), she is considered ready for marriage. On the wedding day, the newly-made husband, having beaten the bride hard with a reed rod (the more scars remain on her body, the more he loves), puts a silver collar around her neck, which she will wear all her life.

According to approximate estimates of linguists in the world, there are over six thousand different languages ​​of communication. Of course, each language is unique and has its own special...

9. Bushmen

There is a group of tribes in South Africa collectively called the Bushmen. These are people of short stature, broad cheekbones, with a narrow slit of the eyes and swollen eyelids. Their skin color is difficult to determine, since it is not customary in the Kalahari to waste water on washing, but they are definitely lighter than neighboring tribes. Leading a wandering, half-starved life, the Bushmen believe in an afterlife. They have neither a tribal leader nor a shaman, in general there is not even a hint of a social hierarchy. But the elder of the tribe enjoys authority, although he does not have privileges and material advantages.
Bushmen surprise with their cuisine, especially "Bushman rice" - ant larvae. Young Bushwomen are considered the most beautiful in Africa. But as soon as they reach puberty and give birth, their appearance changes dramatically: the buttocks and hips spread sharply, and the stomach remains swollen. All this is not a consequence of dietary nutrition. To distinguish a pregnant Bushwoman from other belly-bellied women, she is coated with ocher or ash. Yes, and the men of the Bushmen at 35 already look like 80-year-old old men - their skin sags everywhere and becomes covered with deep wrinkles.

10. Masai

The Maasai people are slender, tall, they cleverly braid their hair. They differ from other African tribes in their manner of holding on. While most tribes easily come into contact with strangers, the Maasai, who have an innate sense of dignity, keep their distance. But nowadays they have become much more sociable, they even agree to video and photography.
There are about 670,000 Masai, they live in Tanzania and Kenya in East Africa, where they are engaged in cattle breeding. According to their beliefs, the gods entrusted the Maasai with the care and custody of all the cows in the world. Maasai childhood, which is the most carefree period in their lives, ends at the age of 14, culminating in an initiation ritual. And it is in both boys and girls. The initiation of girls comes down to the terrible custom for Europeans of circumcision of the clitoris, but without it they cannot marry and do housework. After such a procedure, they do not feel the pleasure of intimacy, so they will be faithful wives.
After initiation, the boys turn into Morans - young warriors. Their hair is coated with ocher, and covered with a bandage, they give out a sharp spear, and a kind of sword is hung on their belt. In this form, the moran should pass with a proudly raised head for several months.

North Sentinel Island, one of India's united Andaman and Nicobar Islands in the Bay of Bengal, is located just 40 kilometers from the coast of South Andaman Island and 50 kilometers from the developed administrative center of Port Blair located on it. These 72 square kilometers of forest are only one-fifth the size of Manhattan. All the other islands of the archipelago have been explored, and their peoples have long established relations with the government of India, but not a single stranger has yet set foot on the land of North Sentinel Island. Moreover, the Indian government has established a five-kilometer no-go zone around the island to protect the local people, known as the Sentinelese, who have been isolated from world civilization for millennia. Because of this, the Sentinelese contrast sharply with other peoples.

The inhabitants of the island are currently one of about a hundred non-contact peoples remaining on the planet. Most are closely located in remote West Papua and the Amazon rainforests of Brazil and Peru. But many of these non-contact tribes are not completely isolated. As the human rights organization Survival International observes, these peoples will undoubtedly learn from their cultural neighbors. However, many non-contact peoples, whether due to the atrocities of past colonizers who conquered them or lack of interest in the achievements of the modern world, prefer to remain closed. They are now a changing and dynamic people, retaining their languages, traditions and skills, rather than ancient or primitive tribes. And since they are not completely secluded, missionaries and even people who want to eradicate them for the sake of a free land show interest in them. It is precisely because of their territorial isolation from other cultures and external threats that the Sentinelese are a unique ethnic group even among non-contact peoples.

But this does not mean that no one has ever tried to contact the Sentinelese. People have been swimming in the Andaman Islands for at least the last thousand years. Both the British and Indians began to colonize the region from the 18th century. Over the past century, on most of the islands, even the most remote tribes have had contact with other ethnic groups, and their inhabitants have been assimilated by a larger people and even appointed to public office. Despite laws that have prevented access to traditional tribal lands since the 1950s, illegal tribal contact has taken place across most of the archipelago. And yet, no one has yet set foot on the lands of North Sentinel Island, because its population responded to all attempts by modern scientists to visit the island with incredible aggression. One of the first encounters with the local population was with an escaped Indian prisoner who washed ashore on the island in 1896. Soon his arrow-strewn body with its throat slit was found on the coast. The fact that even neighboring tribes consider the Sentinel language to be completely incomprehensible implies that they have maintained this hostile isolation for hundreds or even thousands of years.

India has tried for years to contact the Sentinelese for many reasons: scientific, protectionist, and even based on the idea that it is better for the tribe to maintain contact with the state than with fishermen who accidentally swam here, destroying the ethnic group with disease and cruelty. But the locals successfully hid from the first anthropological mission in 1967 and scared away the scientists who returned in 1970 and 1973 with a hail of arrows. In 1974, a National Geographic director was shot in the leg with an arrow. In 1981, a stranded sailor was forced to fight off the Sentinelese for several days before help arrived. During the 70s, several more people were injured or killed in attempts to establish contact with the natives. Eventually, nearly twenty years later, anthropologist Trilokina Pandey made some sparse contacts, spending several years dodging arrows and giving metal and coconuts to the natives—he let the Sentinelese undress him and gathered some information about their culture. But, realizing the financial losses, the Indian government finally gave in, leaving the Sentinelese to themselves and declaring the island a no-go zone to protect the tribe's residence.

Considering what happened to the rest of the tribes in the Andaman Islands, this may be for the best. The Greater Andamanese, who numbered about 5,000 before first contact, after waves of migrations, are only a few dozen people. The Jarawa people have lost 10 percent of their population in the two years since first contact in 1997 due to measles, displacement, and sexual abuse by visitors and police. Other tribes, such as the Onge, in addition to bullying and insults, suffer from rampant alcoholism. It is typical of people whose culture has been radically changed and whose lives have been turned upside down by an outside force that has broken into their territories.

Sentinelese firing a bow at a helicopter

Meanwhile, a video of the Sentinelese - a little over 200 dark-skinned people whose only "clothing" was ocher on the body and cloth bandages on their heads - showed that the inhabitants of the tribe were alive and well. We do not know much about their life and can only be guided by Pandey's observations and subsequent videos made from a helicopter. They are thought to feed on coconuts by cracking them open with their teeth, and also prey on turtles, lizards, and small birds. We suspect that they mine the metal for their arrowheads from sunken ships off the coast, as they do not have modern technology - not even the technology of making fire. (Instead, they have an intricate procedure for storing and carrying smoldering poles and burning coals in clay vessels. The coals have been maintained in this state for thousands of years and probably originate from prehistoric lightning strikes.) We know that they live in thatched huts, for fishing they make primitive canoes, with which it is impossible to go out into the open ocean, as a greeting they sit on each other's knees and slap the interlocutor on the buttocks, and also sing using a two-note system. But there is no certainty that all these observations are not false impressions, given how little information we know about their culture.

Using DNA samples from the surrounding tribes, and given the unique isolation of the Sentinel language, we suspect that the genetic ancestry of the people of North Sentinel Island could go as far back as 60,000 years. If so, then the Sentinelese are the direct descendants of the first people who left Africa. Any geneticist dreams of studying the DNA of the Sentinels for a better understanding of human history. Not to mention, the Sentinelese somehow survived the 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami, which devastated the surrounding islands and washed away much of their own. The inhabitants themselves remained untouched, hiding on the island's peaks as if they had predicted a tsunami. This gives reason to wonder if they have secret knowledge about the weather and nature that could be useful to us. But this secret is closely guarded, and, as ironic as it may sound, the Sentinelese are clearly not eager to teach us. However, if they make contact, their long isolation will surely enrich the whole world, both culturally and scientifically.

But despite all the luck that preceded the tribe and attempts to maintain their isolation, we can see disturbing signs that signal the imminent forceful invasion of the outside world into the life of the island. So, the murder by the islanders of two fishermen accidentally thrown ashore and the subsequent unsuccessful attempt to pick up their corpses - the helicopter with the rescuers was driven away by the arrows of the Sentinelese - entailed a thirst for justice among the Indians. In the same year, authorities noticed that the island's waters had become attractive to poachers, and that some of them could enter the island itself (although at the moment there is no evidence of contacts between poachers and Sentinelese). Today there is a real threat of collision. And when contact with the tribe occurs, the best thing we can do is to prevent the atrocities that led the Sentinelese to cruelty in the past, and try to preserve their ancient history and culture, as much as possible.

In our age of high technology, a variety of gadgets and broadband Internet, there are still people who have not seen all this. Time seems to have stopped for them, they do not really make contact with the outside world, and their way of life has not changed for thousands of years.

In the forgotten and undeveloped corners of our planet, such uncivilized tribes live that you are simply amazed how time has not touched them with its modernizing hand. Living, like their ancestors, among palm trees and eating hunting and grazing, these guys feel great and are not in a hurry to the "concrete jungle" of big cities.

OfficePlankton decided to highlight the wildest tribes of modern times that actually exist.

1 Sentinelese

Having chosen the island of North Sentinel, between India and Thailand, the Sentinelese have occupied almost the entire coast and meet with arrows anyone who tries to establish contact with them. Being engaged in hunting, gathering and catching fish, entering into family marriages, the tribe maintains a number of approximately 300 people.

An attempt to contact these people ended with the shelling of the National Geographic group, however, after they left gifts on the shore, among which red buckets were especially popular. They shot the left pigs from afar and buried them, not even thinking to eat them, everything else was thrown into the ocean in a heap.

An interesting fact is that they predict natural disasters and massively hide deeper into the jungle when storms approach. The tribe survived the 2004 Indian earthquake and the numerous devastating tsunamis.

2 Masai

These born pastoralists are the largest and most warlike tribe in Africa. They live only by cattle breeding, not neglecting the theft of cattle from other, “lower”, as they consider, tribes, because, in their opinion, their supreme god gave them all the animals on the planet. It is in their photographs with drawn earlobes and disks the size of a good tea saucer inserted into the lower lip that you stumble across the Internet.

Maintaining good morale, considering as a man only all those who killed a lion with a spear, the Massai fought back both European colonialists and invaders from other tribes, owning the ancestral territories of the famous Serengeti Valley and the Ngorongoro volcano. However, under the influence of the 20th century, the number of people in the tribe is declining.

Polygamy, which used to be considered honorable, has now become simply necessary, as there are fewer and fewer men. Children graze cattle almost from the age of 3, and the rest of the household is in charge of women, while men doze with a spear in their hand inside the hut in peacetime or run with guttural sounds on military campaigns against neighboring tribes.

3 Nicobar and Andaman tribes

An aggressive company of cannibal tribes lives, you guessed it, by raiding and eating each other. The superiority among all these savages is held by the Korubo tribe. Men, neglecting hunting and gathering, are very skilled at making poisoned darts, catching snakes with their bare hands for this, and stone axes, grinding the edge of the stone for days to such an extent that it becomes a very doable task to cut off their heads.

Constantly fighting among themselves, the tribes, however, do not raid endlessly, as they understand that the supply of "humans" is very slowly renewable. Some tribes generally set aside only special holidays for this - the holidays of the goddess of Death. Women of the Nicobar and Andaman tribes also do not disdain to eat their children or old people in case of unsuccessful raids on neighboring tribes.

4 Piraha

A rather small tribe also lives in the Brazilian jungle - about two hundred people. They are notable for the most primitive language on the planet and the absence of at least some system of calculus. Holding primacy among the most undeveloped tribes, if it can certainly be called primacy, the feasts have no mythology, history of the creation of the world and gods.

They are forbidden to speak about what they did not know from their own experience, to adopt the words of other people and introduce new designations into their language. There are also no shades of flowers, designations of weather, animals and plants. They live mainly in huts made of branches, refusing to accept as a gift all kinds of objects of civilization. Piraha, however, are quite often called out as guides to the jungle, and, despite their ineptness and underdevelopment, have not yet been seen in aggression.

5 Karavai

The most brutal tribe lives in the forests of Papua New Guinea, between two mountain ranges, they were discovered very late, only in the 90s of the last century. There is a tribe with a funny Russian-sounding name, as if in the Stone Age. Dwellings - children's huts from twigs on trees that we built in childhood - protection from sorcerers, they will find them on the ground.

Stone axes and knives made from animal bones, noses and ears are pierced with the teeth of dead predators. Loaves hold wild pigs in high esteem, which they do not eat, but tame, especially those taken from their mother at a young age, and used as riding ponies. Only when the pig is old and can no longer carry cargo and little ape-like men, which loaves are, can the pig be slaughtered and eaten.
The entire tribe is extremely militant and hardy, the warrior cult flourishes there, the tribe can sit on larvae and worms for weeks, and despite the fact that all the women of the tribe are “common”, the love festival occurs only once a year, the rest of the time men should not pester to women.

There are still enough places on our planet where wild tribes live, who do not want to make contact with the outside world. They managed to preserve their uniqueness, original way of life and culture for thousands of years. For their existence, the gifts of generous nature were quite enough for them.

website - Let's dream together, introduce you to the last Indians of the Amazon.

Anthropologists are attracted by a rare opportunity to study the life of our distant ancestors from the Stone Age. There is disagreement among scholars regarding such tribes. Some feel they need to be contacted. Others argue that this is absolutely impossible to do.

A weighty argument is the danger of their complete extinction. Since they lived in complete isolation from the outside world for a long time. Their immune system cannot fight the numerous diseases of modern civilization.

It is believed that at present there are about a hundred, completely isolated tribes. They live in, in Africa, in New Guinea and on the numerous islands of the Pacific Ocean.

Currently, there are about a hundred, completely isolated tribes.

Korubo - a wild tribe of cannibals

This wild Brazilian tribe was discovered recently, in 1996. Among all the natives, they stand out for their extreme aggressiveness. For the habit of constantly carrying a war club, which they virtuoso wield, they are called "head blowers."

Neighbors are often attacked, and women take part in such raids on an equal basis with men. Obviously they are descendants.

The prisoners can be eaten. There is an assumption that the Korubo Indians practice cannibalism. They do not even spare their children, born with pathology or birth trauma - they immediately kill them. The same fate awaits sick fellow tribesmen.

This tradition also existed among other peoples. This was practiced by the natives in arid Australia and the northern people - the Eskimos.

Girls were killed more often, the role of men as a breadwinner was more important. In Japan, at the birth of twins, only boys were left alive.

A distinctive feature from neighboring natives is a peculiar hairstyle. Front bangs and cropped nape. Tattoos and drawings on the body are not practiced.

They are mainly engaged in hunting, sloths and birds. As well as fishing and farming. The tribe has full equality of all members, both women and men. All issues that arise are resolved jointly. Families are polygamous (polygamy).

The traditional dwelling of the Korubo Indians is a long building made of palm leaves with several exits. Up to a hundred tribesmen can live in it at the same time. Internal partitions divide the space of the house into several separate "rooms". It's like a communal apartment with a hundred neighbors.

In the tribe, complete equality of all members, both women and men

The Disappearing Indians of Brazil: Cinta Larga

Once the number of this people reached more than five thousand people. Now there are about 1.5 thousand left.

Unfortunately for this Indian tribe, they lived in the jungle, where rubber trees grew. And this "gave the right" to the rubber collectors to destroy the natives, so as not to interfere with their fishing.

The war between the natives and the rubber miners lasted for decades. Their primitive weapons could not withstand firearms. But the jungle was their home, which gave them the advantage of surprise attacks.

Then a diamond deposit was discovered on these lands. And then came the period of "diamond fever". Adventurers flock here from all over the world in search of fortune.

And the Indians themselves tried to mine these precious stones. There were often conflicts between them and outsiders, with casualties on both sides.

In 2004, the Brazilian government managed to negotiate with the leaders for a certain amount. That the Indians will close their mines and give up this lucrative business in the future.

The Sinta Larga tribe lives in polygamous families. Girls get married very early, at 8-10 years old.

Remember your name

Men change their name several times during their lives. This is due to the ongoing fateful events. But they have one constant secret name, which only the closest tribesmen know.

The Indians are well versed in plant poisons and use this knowledge in hunting and fishing. They know how to imitate the voices of animals and thus lure animals. Before hunting, to attract good luck, a magic ritual is performed. In addition to hunting and fishing, they are engaged in agriculture.

Wild tribe of the Amazon - Guarani

Before the arrival of Europeans in South America, the number of this nationality was more than 400 thousand people. They lived in communities in villages, in long houses made of palm leaves, several families together.

They ate by hunting and gathering in the jungle. They exchanged with their neighbors their products of pottery, weaving and woodcarving.

The first contacts with Europeans took place in 1537. At that time, the Guarani were the dominant people in Argentina, Bolivia, and Paraguay. But with the advent of the colonialists, a sad account awaited them.

They were expelled from their lands. They were driven into dedicated reservations and deprived of the rights of national self-determination. A stream of immigrants from Europe poured into the liberated lands.

The slave trade flourished. Tens of thousands of Guarani Indians found themselves in the slave markets. Those who agreed to accept Christianity were provided with firearms. This added even more aggressiveness. Guarani have always been distinguished by increased hostility. Bloody conflicts began.

Currently, many tribes that have survived to our times prefer to live in isolation. Minimizing contact with the outside world. They are trying to save a thousand-year-old, original way of life.

The Guarani tribe lives in isolation. Minimizing contact with the outside world.

The Last Indians of Brazil

Civilization cannot be completely ignored. They began to cover their nakedness with clothes. Use medical services. Many of them work in cities and have vehicles. Televisions appeared in the houses.

But some traditions remain unshakable. They get married at the age of 13-15. It is forbidden to marry strangers. The punishment is expulsion from the tribe.

They live in villages. The guests are not very welcome. Location can be achieved by gifts to the leader. And if he accepts them, then you can get acquainted and communicate with other residents. But not many people get this permission.

Now, on the lands that once belonged to the Indians, the forest is being cut down and oil refineries are operating. They have to leave their homes.

Obviously, soon there will be only memories of peoples who survived for thousands of years, but died as a result of a meeting with modern civilization ...
