Remarkable images from automatic cameras in the Brazilian rainforest unveil a hidden community known as the Massaco, which is flourishing despite external pressures.
According to Altair Algayer of Funai, despite evidence suggesting connections to the Siriono people of Bolivia, the identity and language of the Massaco remain largely unknown.
The Brazilian National Indigenous Peoples Foundation (Funai) reports that the Massaco population has doubled since the early 1990s, highlighting their resilience amidst agribusiness encroachment.
Funai's strategic placement of metal gifts serves as a deterrent for the Massaco, circumventing dangerous encounters with outsiders and allowing for their mysterious yet thriving existence.
