I'm going to quote, since I'm not an expert (sources on YouTube):


Once a year, an Olympic flame is lit in Brazil announcing the opening of the Indigenous Games, the Games of the Amazon. This year, the event takes place in Porto Seguro, with 800 athletes from 30 different indigenous groups competing in traditional sports. We focus on two tribes, the Matis people and the Enawenes Nawes Indians, who will embark upon the journey of a lifetime to take part in an amazing adventure. Two tribes, two voyages, two incredible adventures, with one unique goal: participate in the Games and win!

Imagine I was actually invited to something like this.

I mean what should I wear?

Oh the indecision ... green underpants or mauve?

And you look at these people, and it's hardship what they did (travel from one tip of Brazil to another).

Yet the humor and camaraderie is amazing.

And they're very aware of their own stereotyping.

This ain't "Tonto" territory.

Still a bit disconcerting how they swept that under the hammock: and the archery winner was actually a woman.

Let's move on to blow-pipes, blow-pipes anyone?

What should I bring?

Any color skivvies, just not the ones with the holes.

Holes, what do you mean "holes", like where I stick my feet in?

No, not those holes.

Anyway, what a fantastic clip!

Unexpected disappointments:

The announcer: "And here comes the jaguar people"!

The tribe in question: "The who? We don't have spots, we don't look like jaguars"?

Yeah, it's in the clip.
