sallydonovan:nowsashayaway:so-treu:997:im still thinking abt this pic“traditional” and “contemporary” are not mutually exclusiveI have so many feels about this! Especially as an anthro major, I hate it when ppl think that indigenous folks can’t use tech because it doesn’t make them genuine. Like fuck that noise! Also this photo is precious.These two are of the Kyikatejê-gavião indigenous group from Pará, Brazil. They’re also sometimes called the Hawk Kyikatejê due to their use of hawk feathers in their arrows. As of 2010 there are approximately only 320 members of the group. Not only do they have a traditional history stretching back hundreds of years, but they also have their own football team (the first indigenous team in Brazil). This photo was taken by Laercio Esteves.It’s great and all that you guys are having these profound realizations about how indigenous folks are ~just like you~ but how about you take some time to learn about these people who so generously helped you learn that -- source link
