The world is full of wonders, and there are many mysterious tribes in the world that few people know about. They have always lived in isolation and rarely have contact with the outside world. But later, with the development of the Internet and the convenience of transportation, more and more primitive tribes have entered the modern era and become known to people.
The tribe we are going to talk about today has been voted by travel friends as the most "alternative" tribe in the world, with a 16cm wooden stick stuck in the chin. This tribe is located in Brazil, South America. It is called the Zoai tribe. It is mainly distributed in the dense rain forests of Brazil. They still retain the most primitive living habits and are quite resistant to outsiders. Therefore, this tribe The culture is well preserved.
For outsiders, it is difficult to break into this tribe. Because the place where they live is very secretive, it is difficult to find their traces without the guidance of familiar locals, and there are no roads to enter. It is said that the Brazilian government once came here specifically in the hope of improving the lives of the locals. But who knew that the people of this tribe would directly throw stones at them, expressing their disapproval.
However, there are also some lucky travelers who broke into this tribe and unveiled the mystery of the Zoai people to the world. In this tribe, everyone regards nudity as beauty, which is difficult for modern people to accept. But what makes travel friends feel the most different is that the local people's "dress" is completely opposite to modern people.
There is a wooden stick on the chin of every Zoe, which looks shocking. According to locals, this is a local "coming of age ceremony". The sticks were actually the leg bones of a wild animal and were eventually fashioned into 16cm long sticks that were eventually inserted into the boy's chin when he was 9 and the girl was 7.
During this process, there was no medical equipment, let alone anesthesia. As the Zoai people grow older, they will change their sticks, with the longest reaching 16 centimeters. As for why there is such a local custom, it is still unknown. This has made many outside travel enthusiasts curious, doesn’t this custom hurt them? Why not abandon such customs?
Of course, this is also their choice. After all, it is not possible to abolish a custom that has lasted for many years overnight. What do you think of such a tribe?
