Writer, photographer, and journalist, Scott Wallace, went on a three month journey through the Brazilian Amazon to map the territory of the Arrow People. The Arrow People are an indigenous group whose life and language remain a mystery. They have been known to repel previous intruders with deadly arrows. Sydney Possuelo, a Brazilian explorer and social activist also led a thirty four man team into the jungle to search for evidence of the Arrow People's range and culture.
We at the Heritable Innovation Trust, applaud their efforts to document these indigenous tribes especially since both teams avoided making contact with the tribes out of respect and the risk of spreading modern diseases to a culture which has no protection.
