What idiotic speculation.
I’m guessing one of them was photoshopped in. Either that or they tried some of that instant tan lotion down at the quickie mart.
“Why is one really black and the other two almost red?”
Because they want to “Celebrate Diversity”!;)
yeah, me neither. i don’t think you’d be able to stalk your quarry very effectively in the jungle if you’re covered in orange paint.
“When they hear the noise of the plane, they hide in the forest, leaving their communities empty,” Meirelles said.
“It seems that something very bad, related to an airplane, happened to them. … I think maybe bombs were thrown at them, or they were shot at,” he said
Well I guess in today's world with satellites, drones, etc that can take photos from miles away I'll just have to take their word for it....
Why is one wearing a Gap t-shirt?
Ah, yeah, that'd do it, alright.
One NCO, two grunts.
They can come into town during Carnival without blowing their status as unknown tribe. Once a year, get your tee-shirts and fade back into the njungle.

(Sigh) If you want to sound like an acknowledged ignoramus, it's alright by me, but like an inaccurate Wikipedia article, I hate so see others mislead by a Poster's seeming “fact”.
Had you any credibility at all, you would have mentioned that said Coke bottle only caused havoc because it came as a direct affront the Sacred Pepsi Can, that was spit up on the river bank by a large cayman.
The Matis Indians are perhaps the most exotic and photogenic tribe in the world. They use facial ornamentation and tattoos to imitate the appearance of a jaguar. They have a very rich culture and many beautiful ceremonies such as the Ceremony of Mariwin, the Ritual of Capybara, the Dance of Queixada, and the Poison Frog Ceremony. Mariwin is very colorful as the participants paint their bodies black...
interesting website, maps, numerous Amazon tribes, red and black body-paint a common feature.
Thanks!
Now, about the white things that look like feet on the men. Nike??
And look at the mens' stance...A little off balance??
I'm not questioning the validity of the tribe...just the validity of the picture...It looks "setup".
Thank you !
