EDITORS COMMENTS
Rio Ampayaco, Peru - Bora Indians in their Village (circa late 1940s): A captivating glimpse into the daily life of the Bora Indians, an indigenous tribe residing between the Putumayo and Napo rivers in the Peruvian, Colombian, and Brazilian Amazon. This evocative photograph, taken in the late 1940s, showcases the community's vibrant culture and traditions. The Bora people are adorned with intricate body paintings, a significant aspect of their ethnic identity. Their intricate designs, which vary depending on their age, social status, and marital status, are created using natural pigments derived from various sources, such as annatto, charcoal, and clay. These body paintings not only serve as a form of self-expression but also as a means of connecting with their ancestors and the natural world. In this image, Bora women are seen cooking in their village, nestled along the banks of the Rio Ampayaco. They prepare their meals using traditional methods and ingredients, such as yuca, plantains, and fish, which are abundant in the Amazon rainforest. The large, earthen pot in the foreground is a common cooking vessel used by the Bora people. This photograph offers a rare and authentic look into the lives of the Bora Indians during a time when their population was still significant and relatively untouched by external influences. It is a poignant reminder of the rich cultural heritage that exists within the indigenous communities of the Amazon and the importance of preserving their traditions for future generations.
