Tribes - The first people

For the past 25 years, Jean Pierre Dutilleux has traveled all over the globe to meet the last few tribes that are still living on the fringe of the modern world. This long « tribal journey » has taken him to some of the most remote places on Earth. It is there of course that are found the last strongholds of the real first world, the last survivors of our distant past. Jean Pierre Dutilleux believes it is important to record their way of life, not only for the memory of man kind but for the people themselves. They are the guardians of some of the planet's last unspoiled and un polluted territories.
Unfortunately, at the dawn of the third millennium, they are all threatened.
In this book, priority is given to pictures. The selected photographs are highlights of the 16 tribes that most moved the author. His wish is that these images will encourage the reader to find out more about indigenous people and to support their struggle to survive in this world. Increasingly, the survival of these people and of their environment is tied to our own survival.
