Amazon-Indians.org is a resource for photos and videos of native 
indigenous people of the Amazon Rainforest.  It is an educational 
resource and an introduction to the cultures of Amazon native tribes 
from the South American Amazon River Basin.  Furthermore, this website 
is a resource for information and geographic maps of the native 
indigenous tribes of the Amazon Rainforest.   Various indigenous people 
of the Amazon are represented, including the Matis, Matsés-Mayoruna, 
Huaorani, Bora, Shipibos, Yagua, Marubo, Ticuna, Kayapó, Suyá, and Xingu 
Amazonian native tribes.  Various ceremonies and rituals are 
illustrated, most importantly the Ceremony of Mariwin, Matsés-Mayoruna 
Poison Frog Ceremony, Dance of Queixada, Ritual of Capybara, Ticuna 
Indian Girls Puberty Rite of  Passage, Marubo Ceremony of Aco, and the 
Kuarup (Kwarup) Ceremony of the Dead.  Moreover, various Amazon native 
tribe legends are told, including Bari Rahua and the Discovery of the 
Grand Cosmos, the Amazon Indian Tribe Legend of The Pink Dolphin, and 
the Amazon Native Tribe Legend of The Victoria Regia.  Various aspects 
of the cultures of the indigenous people of the Amazon are covered, as 
well as hunting with blowguns and curare.  In particular, the blowguns 
of the Matis and Yagua native amazonian tribes are illustrated. 
Moreover, photos of native facial tattoos and body tattoos are shown. 
Amazon native tribe bilingual education of girls and boys is also 
highlighted.  Please check out our recent articles on the Huaorani 
Indians, the "Warriors of the Amazon" and on the Yanomami Indians, "The 
Fierce People."  Recently, pictures of naked uncontacted Amazon Indians 
have made headlines worldwide.  Some of these newspaper reports have 
been controversial and confusing, hence we have added several articles 
to help clarify and summarize what is known about these nude uncontacted 
Amazon tribes.  Please refer to our new articles on "Uncontacted Amazon 
Indians in Peru," and "Uncontacted Amazon Tribe: The Cabellos Largos" to 
learn more about indigenous Amazonian natives living in voluntary 
isolation from the rest of the world.  To learn about the most recently 
contacted tribe in the Amazon, please see our new essay on the Korubo 
Indians, also known as the "Caceteiros" or "Head-Bashers."  The Korubo 
Indians have been described in the news as a nude tribe living in 
voluntary isolation, with all the members of their tribe still living 
naked in the jungle.  In addition, Amazon-Indians.org has the great 
honor of exclusively publishing for the first time on the Internet, the 
historic photographs taken by Amazon explorer and photographer, Chuck 
Clark.  During the 1960s, Clark captured images of many indigenous 
Amazonian communities, who until that time, were uncontacted tribes, 
living in voluntary isolation from the Western world.
