Hi, sorry, just need some advice on tribes in the amazon, i.e. Matis, etc. Can't find any sites that say how they obtain their drinking water - any advice, please? Thank you.

Thanks, Peacocks, will scan through. Just need to know if they have water towers/purify/or boil it first, etc...? Many thanks for all your links - much appreciated.

What a curious hw!

The bruce parry series is very good on indigenous people - lots of clips on youtube etc as well as his own site.

Tribal people that live in the rainforest will utilise rainwater but it greatly depends on their level of interaction with the 'ouytside world' and other tribes as well as whether they are riberinos.
