Un fotógrafo captura en impactantes imágenes a las tribus más aisladas del mundo

Cientos de tribus al rededor del mundo con tradiciones únicas que han sobrevivido al paso del tiempo y que se mantienen firmes a pesar del espacio modernos que les rodea a lo largo del planeta. Allí, en regiones de las que quizás nunca has oído hablar, pero que ahora, gracias a las cualidades de un fotógrafo experto, podremos disfrutar, al menos en imágenes. 

Jimmy Nelson, periodista y fotógrafo británico ha recorrido el planeta, captando con su cámara una muestra de algunas de las tribus más aisladas del mundo, como parte de un proyecto cuyo objetivo es financiar plataformas a lo largo de la Internet que ayuden a estas culturas a compartir su cultura, historia y tradiciones con el resto de los habitantes del planeta.  

Para ayudarlo a lograr esta meta, Buenamente ha traído para ustedes esta impactante galería que esperamos disfruten tanto como nosotros. 

El respeto por la naturaleza

Este orgulloso hombre es un cazador perteneciente a la tribu Yakutia en Siberia. Ellos creen firmemente que para lograr ser un buen cazador debes respetar el equilibrio, no solo tomando lo que la naturaleza te ofrece, sino agradeciendo y dando una retribución.

We are very lucky to sit down with chief Roman to get to understand more about the Dolgan way of life. . “I met a shaman who told me, ‘You are a proud hunter but remember, not all hunters have to kill. Hunting is nature’s way of giving.’ He taught me that being a good hunter means not only taking from nature, but also giving back.” .

Hermosos atuendos

La tribu de Nepal presenta sus ropas con colores, cortes y accesorios que son el resultado de las influencias de sus países vecinos, como India, Pakistán, Bangladesh y Sri Lanka. Una hermosa muestra de transculturización.

Los antepasados siempre están presentes

Al menos así es en la tribu de los kaluli del monte Bosavi, quienes usan las plumas blancas de las cacatúas cazadas por sus antepasados para decorar sus atuendos.

En las Islas Marquesas, por tradición las mujeres usan un zarcillo para mostrar su estado civil. En la derecha las casadas y la izquierda las solteras...

The temperature on the tropical Marquesas remains a fairly constant 27 degrees Celsius. The humid rainforests are home to many plants and animals that are unique to the area. Traditionally, women of the island wear the ower on one ear to show their marital status: right for married, left for single. Te Pua O Feani, Atuona, Hiva Oa | 2016 #HomageToHumanity

Las viudas de la tribu Huli en la provincia de Hela de Papúa Nueva Guinea se decoran para parecerse a fantasmas

View this post on Instagram

If a Huli woman is widowed, she transforms herself into a ghost-like figure, covering her whole body with white and grey clay and swathing herself in a net. She does so to hide from her husband’s spirit, out of a belief that if she is un-recognizable to the souls of the ancestors she will be able to find another husband and remarry. Grieving women also wear necklaces made of seeds. Each week they remove a number of seeds until they are all gone, a point which marks the end of the period of mourning. .

For now, we leave the Marquesas islands and zoom in on Chad, the first chapter in the book. Far from the coast and land-locked, it nestles next to the great Saharan Desert. A land of stark beauty, unique pride and deep colours – a gift of its proximity to the desert. We'd love to introduce you to the Wodaabe people. .

“We’d wake up before the birds started singing and go into the forest and drink cool water from a bamboo stick while our mentor whispered spells. He washed our hair by spraying water on it with a fern leaf. During the day we’d groom each other’s hair, play the flute and bathe in the river several times a day. At night we’d all sleep in the same space with our necks on a rest so our hair didn’t touch the ground, to keep its rounded shape.” .
