I’m not sure why the author thinks these tribes are disappearing.. while nice photos, there is no context offered that these tribes are being integrated into modern society or suffering birth rate drops etc... in fact I suspect that should some world wide catastrophic event occur folks like these will be the most likely to survive.

I read where the original were gauchos were deported European Jews who were enslaved to take care of the cattle on the Pampas. Eventually they made own their own communities, intermarried and rustled all the cows and broke free.

The bows and arrows are just a lure to get the aircraft in close. There’s a guy with a Stinger inside the hut, waiting... :)

I believe that deep in the remotest, darkest jungles of Massachusetts there’s a small tribe of conservatives still holding out. It’d be nice to get some pix but we wouldn’t want to let anyone know they’re there.

In the early days of the 20th century, Alberto Gerchunoff was the first Jewish immigrant author in Argentina who wrote in the local language, Spanish, instead of Yiddish. His philosophy was about integration, while maintaining the Jewish heritage.

Some of these folks need to learn that *fur* is frowned upon in the 21st century.

PETA memberships all around.

Judging from the number of rifles in the picture, I’d guess those guys in Banna can take care of themselves.
