Amazonia

I posted a note on the Postcrossing forum seeking more indigenous cards and had a few wonderful replies including one from Brazil who sends this politely edited card. The text indicates: Indian of the tribe of "Cinta Larga" (Large Belt) at the Aripuana River-Rondonia



The community lives in the western Amazon rainforest of Brazil and has been significantly affected by outsiders who exploit the natural resources of the area including rubber, oil, gold and diamonds.
