4. Seems these folks, generally, don't live in cities.

The territory in the photos is as spectacular as the people. Seemingly the last of undeveloped planet Earth.

5. Sometimes I wish I could learn to live like that, with some of what we are doing to the planet and..

ourselves, if humans survive the next couple hundred years, it will be some of these people. They aren't dependent on consumer goods.

7. Beautiful. Simple. No desire to go back - too patriarchal by far.

Hard deaths, hard lives.

I heat with wood, cut it all myself, but, I like that little heat lite therapy thing on it at night.

8. I wish...

the pictures were captioned. To respect a culture we must know its name for itself and our name for it, which are often not the same.
