A photograph such as this in the 21st Century is marvelous. It also demonstrates just how large the Amazon Basin is. A series of pictures of the newly discovered tribe and their small settlement near the Peru/Brazil border is posted at
FirstPost.co.uk. The metal pot and knife in the villagers' possession were probably traded with another Indian group. Dead palm fronds form their hut, and food from their garden lies on the ground. The photograph reminds industrial man than the remaining forests are home to other members of his species who have a right to live there.
