Tribal life

There used to be about 65 tribes living in the Peruvian Amazon jungle, but now there may be 40. The way of life is disappearing as the tribes move to live on the banks of the river. The Yagua tribe is trying to keep their culture alive, so they demonstrate their way of life to tourists. They still hunt with blow guns.
