The first ever Indigenous Games is taking place in Palmas, Brazil through November 1st. Last Saturday a Parade of Indigenous Beauty took place, captured by Eraldo Peres (AP) in the photos below. I love the variety of costumes and facial features - participants ranged from Brazil to as far away as Russia and New Zealand.
Organizer Tainara da Silva (also of the Terena people) remarked: "Before, the elders didn't want to show their womenfolk in public...But that's changing. They now see that this is a way of valorizing our culture and traditions."
