ins Para along the Xingu river. This area, which the natives live in, the government wants to build dams so it is greatly
in danger. Also damaging some of the rainforest the Kayapo would be without homes if the government is successful in building
these dams. The Kayapo are actually very Intelligent and very modern. Paramedics, radio operators and mechanic are just a
few things that the Kayapo have been very well trained in. They are even up to date on their technology such as vehicles as
planes.
