15th Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest People
In honor of the dead
During the ritual of the dead, the yawalapiti people are looking for a tree, which is cut at a specific size, and will be place in the middle of the village. Later it will be cover with the finest ornaments, like if it is the dead himself, dressing up for his last goodbye.
