Amazing Amazon: Kamaira Water World

On Earth, there are very few places where civilization has not penetrated. One of these regions, where the tribes of American Indians live, is the Amazon. The tropical forests of Brazil are home to one of the most beautiful and amazing peoples of the world - kamaure.

The Kamayur tribe, whose population does not exceed 500 people, lives in the Amazon selva. Like several other tribes, they live in the territory of the Shingu National Park, in the Brazilian state of Mato Grosso. Here all conditions are created for the Indian tribes to live in the same way as their ancestors, in harmony with the surrounding nature and on their land. But civilization also penetrates into these remote corners of the planet: in many villages of Shingu Park there are modern motor boats and solar batteries.

Kamayura is one of the most numerous tribes in the national park. The village of Kamaure, consisting of several houses, has a circular structure. Houses covered with straw are located along the perimeter of the settlement, and in the center there is a very large open area, used for general meetings or rituals by the inhabitants of the tribe. It is noteworthy that in the center of this site there is a cemetery enclosed by low columns.

Kamayura does not represent his life without water. River or lake, people of this tribe always settle near a large pond, which gives them water and food. All kamyura are fine swimmers, and children from an early age spend a lot of time in the water.

The basis of nutrition kamyura is vegetable food and fish. Kamayura cleans the jungle adjacent to the village for planting and cultivates useful plants. In addition, the people of the tribe gather wild fruits and nuts.

Fish for kamyura - the most important source of food. Therefore, the most valuable gift for men of this tribe is the fishing net.

Despite the fact that Kamayura live in the Amazonian jungle, their life is not what their ancestors had a hundred or even fifty years ago. Today, Kamaure is often the hero of documentary films and stories on Brazilian television. They communicate with tourists, and their villages are visited by medical workers.

Kamayura is very friendly and peaceful. They maintain warm relations with neighboring tribes and arrange joint ritual tests. In Brazil, sports are held between aboriginal tribes, and the kamaure is always happy to participate in them.
