A view of the Shubua, or house of prayer, in the Huni Kui tribes village of Me Txanava
A view of the Shubua, or house of prayer, in the Huni Kui tribes village of Me Txanava in Brazils northwestern Acre state, March 6, 2014. Many indigenous groups, including the Huni Kui, Ashaninka, and Madija, live in villages in the Brazilian rainforest near the border with Peru. Over the past three years, the Ashaninka and Madija say that they have seen more and more incursions on their territory from uncontacted tribes, defined by Survival International as groups who have no peaceful contact with mainstream society. The " Bravos, " or " Braves, " as uncontacted Indians are called in the region, carry out raids on other villages, putting the communities along the Envira River on permanent alert. Leaders of the Ashaninka tribe have asked the government and NGOs for help in controlling what they consider an encroachment on their area by these uncontacted indigenous groups, stating that the movement of these other tribes is the result of pressure caused by illegal logging across the border in Peru.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the serene beauty of the Shubua, or house of prayer, in the Huni Kui tribes village of Me Txanava. Located in Brazil's northwestern Acre state, this village is home to several indigenous groups including the Huni Kui, Ashaninka, and Madija. However, these communities have recently faced challenges due to incursions from uncontacted tribes. The Ashaninka and Madija tribes have reported an increase in encounters with uncontacted indigenous groups over the past three years. Known as "Bravos" or "Braves" these uncontacted Indians carry out raids on other villages along the Envira River near Peru's border. As a result, leaders of the Ashaninka tribe have sought assistance from government agencies and NGOs to address what they perceive as encroachment on their territory. According to tribal leaders, this movement by uncontacted tribes is believed to be driven by illegal logging activities across the Peruvian border. The pressure caused by deforestation has forced these groups into seeking resources elsewhere. This photograph serves as a reminder of both the cultural richness and environmental struggles faced by indigenous communities in the Amazon rainforest region. It highlights their resilience while also shedding light on urgent issues such as territorial disputes and unsustainable practices threatening their way of life.
