Jair Candor, an agent from Brazil’s Indigenous agency, has spent 35 years searching for a man who did not want to be found. That man, Tamandua Piripkura, has lived his life on the run deep inside the Amazon rainforest — not from authorities or enemies, but from modernity. He is one of the last three known survivors of the Piripkura people, an offshoot of a larger Indigenous group that once spread across a large swath of the forest. He has lived isolated, deep in the Amazon rainforest, his entire life, believed to be about 50 years. Proving he is still alive could be the key to maintaining the government-protect Piripkura area and may offer some hope for another Piripkura generation. #brazil #amazontribe #amazonrainforest
