In the Amazon, the ‘world’s most endangered tribe’ has few options

CARU INDIGENOUS LAND, BRAZIL — Wirohoa does not have a driver’s license, a television or a cellphone. He does not know how old he is and walks barefoot around the indigenous village of Tiracambu, in the Brazilian Amazon. Last December he and his mother, Jakarewãja, along with his aunt Amakaria, left the forest where they had lived their entire lives as nomadic hunter-gatherers, isolated from modern society.
