The Kayapo people of the Brazilian Amazon are known for their striking body paint, created from red urucum seeds and black genipapo dye. These bold patterns aren’t just decoration — they express identity, age, status, and purpose, from daily life to war preparation. For the Kayapo, body paint is a living language, connecting them to their ancestors, their land, and the spirit world. #culture #tribe #amazonas #brazil #tribe #fblifestyle | Unrestricted Borders
