Amazon tribes

Amazon Tribe
The Amazon tribe has many Indians that live in villages by the rivers and deep in the forest, and grow vegetables, fruits, hunt and fish. They have many problems involving around there land: outsiders either wanting their land, or something underneath it. The main source the outsiders look for is oil, gas, illegal logging and the rapid spread of ranching and farming. When land to these Indians is there life. Right now there are only approximately only 100 tribes left and many people are trying to help them live from keeping illegal immigrants and viruses out of there mist. And they were just found after a long time of missing from drug traffickers that destroyed the guard post in western Brazil near the Peruvian border.
Indians instead of wearing normal clothing most Indians wear western clothes, and use pots, pans, and utensils for everyday life. Some groups also make handicrafts to sell to the tourists that pass through, while others make trips to the city to bring foods and wares to market. Most groups don’t hunt for their meat unless they can’t travel and get there food from travelers. Usually a family has two gardens: one with plants with fruit and the other with vegetables. Today most tribes don’t go by traditional hunting instead they go willingly trading. Only some tribes still go off their tradition. Many of the Indians combined tribes and form a team in a way to protect their cultures and there forest crops. These tribes have been facing long battles and had not been seen for a long amount of time until about two years ago when the news/ even some travelers had caught glimpse of Indians on their plane ride. Many outsiders have been starting fights and trying to intrude on their lands .Invasions has raised since the mid 1990’s. Other than wars many of the Amazon tribes have caught many diseases like measles, tuberculosis, and the flu, which has downsized there population by many.
Amazon tribes do have school in the east if they wish to go, if not they don’t. Most don’t have school education and many of our citizens want to help them become more aware of what diseases you can get, and how you can prevent them.
