They alredy know their original language, their culure;

	Alexandro Auler says: Bela causa!! Penaq alguns não são mais tão inocentes. Andam de mitsubish e tem telefone via satélite. Convenhamos a terra é deles. Chegamos depois. Tenho muita vontade de fotografar esse assunto, delicado...belas fotos!! Posted 40 months ago. ( permalink )
	Tatiana Cardeal says: Esta é realmente uma questão muito delicada para ser discutida assim, mas não vejo nenhum problema em um índio usar um carro mitsubish ou telefone via satélite... porque eles não deveriam? Só fazendeiro que pode? Claro que para nós, "civilizados" é muito mais agradável imaginar o índio na aldeia, protegido culturalmente e ambientalmente. Seria lindo se fosse possível, mas o fato é que já não é mais. Não dá pra gente querer que um Guarani morando na Boracéia, no litoral paulista, vá viver em isolamento. Não é real. Sendo em parte descendente de Xavantes também me sinto mal ao imaginar que se eu fosse uma Xavante pura, de pai e mãe, nascida na aldeia, eu não teria os mesmos direitos como cidadã brasileira. Precisaria de autorização para ir e vir, e 'brancos' me dizendo se eu posso ou não ter um celular, uma marca de carro ou quanto de dinheiro. Ahh, não sei não, já pensei assim, mas depois que fui para as aldeias, algo mudou em mim. Me ví frente às dificuldades que eles passam por causa justamente desse isolamento que a gente achava bonito e inocente. Posted 40 months ago. ( permalink )

	Luminuscule says: Hi Tatiana, wonderful series, every picture is so powerful! I just wanted to let you know that a major dutch newspaper ran a big article yesterday about the police killing those 29 people in Rio de Janeiro... so maybe the world is starting to pay attention...

	carf says: Dear Fleur (Luminuscule), Those killings in Rio are everyday happenings in Brazil. Maybe not in such a "grand" scale as individual actions, but accumulated they reach such numbers and create havoc and dispair to those poor family members who are left behind to cope with the sorrows of losing their beloved ones. Please do read the story of one such killing, which has affected our circle of friends in such a sad way. Gregory - The Hummingbird Project (Projeto Beija-Flor) Posted 40 months ago. ( permalink )
	carf says: Commenting on some of the above reflections (made in Portuguese): Once you destroy the balance in nature it is only natural that life, in whatever form, will hang on to whatever conditions are available in any attempt to survive. The white man has destroyed the balance in nature for most living beings, including most of the indigenous peoples of our planet. But we just keep on destroying our only real hopes of survival, our very planet, with our greediness and our egoism. I'm quite sure there is nothing wrong with an Indian chosing to survive under whatever conditions the white man has left him to struggle under, as long as his choice is a dignified one. If he has chosen to survive with his honestly purchased Mitsubishi and cellphone, that's his right as a human being. But I certainly don't believe it would have been his choice if we hadn't first upset the balance of his nature. The white man will have many delicate choices to make in the future, concerning his own attempts for survival on the damaged planet he himself created. Some of those choices will not be easy as he is far from prepared to cope with his own damage. I think the Brazilian Indian from the Amazon Basin, Evaristo Nugkuag, sums it up well in his following statement: "If you are willing to know what development means to us, you must be willing to accept that our mode of development is not the same as yours. Our development is not based on accumulation of material goods, nor on the greatest rates of profit, obtained at the expense of our territories and future generations… For us, development means taking into account the future of an entire people."

	sarachic says: I have noticed most of the photos in this series seem to have an almost dark metallic look to them. is there something you use or do to have this effect? Posted 40 months ago. ( permalink )
	Tatiana Cardeal says: nah, nothing that i know. I was using negative film, 800 and 1600 ISO, and no flash. Maybe the white light on the place? Posted 40 months ago. ( permalink )
	Alexandro Auler says: vc travou a foto com o comentário e agora não dá pra apagar acho. Veja aí! Foi mal mesmo... Posted 40 months ago. ( permalink )
	Tatiana Cardeal says: hahaha, que bagunça nós fizemos Ale! já consegui deletar aqui :) Posted 40 months ago. ( permalink )
	Ifiallig [deleted] says: My most agreeable thoughts of these proud people! You are right Tati and Greg, I’d rather live simple, culturally protected and dignified. Rather than, to be victim of self-interest development and destructive politics. And my heart goes to the tribe people who know what the meaning of dignity, labour and life is, Posted 40 months ago.
