Amazon Indians

Amazon Indians by chany14.
Those nice people, are members of an Amazon Indian tribe - Yagua
As our guide said - They asked a nearby lodge for a land in which they live together - as a tribe, speak their own language, and preserve their traditions - craft, music, clothes and so on, if asked they preformed happily for the tourists in those traditional outfits- as a way to make little money and to share their old way of living.
Here they are teaching us how to use a blowgun.
This image is a tribute to them - to their joy of life, and to old traditons.

A sensitive & beautiful tribute to these Native people. As you have said, they are strong physically, mentally as well, I'm sure. VERY strong in their culture! Solid all around...
I love the way you've composed this; not too much, just enough. The light gives their skin a most wonderful ochre shade; very warm...
A marvelous addition to the GUSTO pool; Thanks for posting!
