News.Com (Australia) offers rare photos and a fascinating look inside the “world’s most endangered tribe” — the nomadic Awá people of the Amazon — through the lens of a National Geographic photographer.

Quotable quote: “There are only around 80 of the nomadic Awá, one of the last ‘uncontacted’ tribes of the Amazon, in a reserve in the Maranhão forest in Brazil. They live as they have for centuries, using traditional methods to hunt armadillos and gathering wild honey and babassu nuts in the dense landscape.”
