The Kayapo Resistance

I thought this article was really interesting because of the resistance and fight the kayapo tribe put up to keep their land. I have never heard about this tribe before but It is amazing to me that such a tribe still exists. We see this a very primitive but in a way it is cool that on the same planet we have highly developed and not developed at all cultures. We view our culture as the best one. The one that everyone should model because we think its the best. And while I dont this this is a necessarily bad thing I think its important to remember that we live in a world with many different cultures. The fact that the kayapo tribe is still so present is a true testament to their strength and the ability of the culture.
