Close up of the life of the original Aboriginal people

Daily Mail recently shared a series of photos by photographer Ricardo Stuckert, revealing part of Kamaiurá's daily life in the Amazon - Brazil.

The Kamaiurá tribe was first discovered in 1884 and its population fell sharply in the 1950s due to the disease. By 1961, Brazilian officials announced that this area was turned into a national park to prevent deadly diseases.

The Kamaiurá tribe currently has about 500 members and they live in the villages of Upper Xingu around Ipavu Lake, nearly 7 km from the Kuluene River. Their food is mainly fish, porridge, pepper and bananas.

Photographer Stuckert, 47, has recorded and published rare photos for the outside world to better understand the life of primitive Aboriginal people in the Amazon.

The series was recorded by Mr. Stuckert showing that the primitive Aboriginal Kamaiurá dived underwater or swam under a waterfall in the Amazon basin.

"The pictures show the abundance of aboriginal people with nature. They also provide an overview of the current situation of primitive Aboriginal people in Brazil," Stuckert said, revealing him. Began photographing the tribes since 1996.
