This remarkable footage shows a man who is believed to be the last known survivor of a murdered Amazonian tribe. Filmed in the Brazilian state of Rondonia, it shows a man believed to be in his 50s eking out an existence 22 years after his tribe was murdered by farmers. He is known as ‘the indigenous man in the hole’ and was filmed by government officials. Altair Algayer, from indigenous agency Funai, told The Guardian: ‘I understand his decision. It is his sign of resistance, and a little repudiation, hate, knowing the story he went through.’


He was first discovered by experts in 1996, a year after farmers and land grabbers are thought to have killed the other five members of the tribe. However, he does not want to have anything to do with mainstream society. At the centre of his patch of forest he has a hut made out of wood from the trees that surround him and he has his own papaya and corn plantation. He uses a bow and arrow to spend his time hunting pigs, monkeys and birds.
