A Romantic View of Isolated Cultures

Jimmy Nelson photographed members of indigenous cultures around the world, asking them to pose “at your very best and at your very proudest,” as Nelson told an interviewer. The result was portraits of individuals and loose groupings of men and women dressed in a mix of ceremonial and everyday clothing, often set in dramatic landscapes. The next installment of Nelson’s project, “Before They Part II.” includes new photographs taken in Bhutan, depicting traditional dancers in the Upper Paro Valley in the Himalayasa, as well as recent images taken in remote locations across China, French Polynesia, Mongolia, Tanzania and Chad.

These are the Marquesas Islands, in French Polynesia 🇵🇫 ———————————— They are a group of volcanic islands in French Polynesia, an overseas collectivity of France in the southern Pacific Ocean. The highest point is the peak of Mount Oave on Ua Pou island at 1,230 m above sea level. Research based on 2010 studies suggests the islands were colonized rapidly in two successive waves by indigenous colonists from West Polynesia, beginning c. 1025–1120 AD, leading to the development of a "remarkably uniform culture, human biology and language." The Marquesas Islands form one of the five administrative divisions of French Polynesia. The Marquesas Islands were once a major center of eastern Polynesian civilization. Wooden and stone crafts and tattooing are common practices among the locals. ———————————— ✅The capital of the Marquesas Islands administrative subdivision is the settlement of Taiohae on the island of Nuku Hiva. - ✅The population of the Marquesas Islands was 9,346 inhabitants at the August 2017 census. #marquesas #marquesasislands #oceania #islands #island #earthguideofficial #facts #travel #traveladdict #wanderlust (at Marquesas Islands) https://www.instagram.com/p/By2s5cansxi/?igshid=lk32ypvic880

20 Fotos incríveis mostrando algumas das fascinantes tribos reclusas do mundo

Há alguns anos, o fotógrafo Jimmy Nelson publicou o livro “Before They Pass Away” que mostra mais de 30 tribos isoladas de todo o mundo. Ele passou semanas com cada tribo para aprender suas culturas e fotografá-las. Em 2018, Nelson publicou seu segundo grande projeto intitulado “Homenagem à Humanidade”. Ele visitou 34 tribos indígenas em cinco continentes, inclusive visitou novamente algumas tribos de sua jornada anterior.

Enquanto seu primeiro livro tinha apenas fotos, desta vez ele decidiu adicionar diários de viagem, mapas, fatos locais e entrevistas, mudando o foco para a jornada em si. Em seu trabalho, Jimmy explora a ideia de se reconectar com nossas raízes e nossa humanidade, e ele acredita que os povos indígenas desempenham um papel importante em nossa percepção de nós mesmos como seres humanos.

21 Stunning Photos of Isolated Tribes From Around The World

In 2018, photographer Jimmy Nelson released his second major project entitled “Homage to Humanity”. During this adventure, he visited 34 indigenous cultures from five different continents.

“When I was 17, I started a trip and it’s still the one I’m doing today,” said Nelson.“It’s about reconnecting with myself and finding myself. I have somewhat camouflaged it with photography, tribes, and aboriginal peoples, but in the end, it’s a very personal journey in which I want to feel, live, and survive.

Tuesday 23rd May

For the past few days we have been exploring Nuku-Hiva, the largest island in the Marquesas.  After some of crew attended a lively church service in Taiohae on Sunday, we departed in the early afternoon through a pod of huge Manta Rays and spent Sunday evening in the charming and very protected Taipivai Bay, further to the East.  It was here that Herman Mellville, of Moby Dick fame, jumped ship and was captured by some friendly cannibals.  

Yesterday we sailed up the East coast in search of melon-headed whales which are meant to congregate up the coast. Obviously we didn’t see any, although we think we’d seen one on our way into Taiohae on Saturday. However, we were escorted by a pod of very large dolphins into Anaho Bay, on the North-East corner of the Island. 

If we were anywhere else in the world this picturesque bay, with its sandy horseshoe shaped beach framed with palm trees, would be crowded with yachts and there would be beach cafes and restaurants plying for our trade. However, we are in the middle of the Pacific and we are sharing this beautiful bay, with it’s surreal green hillsides and warm waters, with just three other yachts.  We might stay here another day before circumnavigating the Island anti-clockwise to return to Taiohae to refuel and provision, from the very small supermarket in the village, before the next leg of our journey to Ua-Pou and then onto Fakarava in the Tuamotu Archipelago. 

Last night we had roast Lamb, I think I’m putting on any weight lost during the passage here, and the Commander made some great daiquiris, so we flopped into our bunks exhausted at about 9.30! This morning we were woken to sounds of Polynesian music wafting across the bay.

From Marquesas to Tuamotus... Day by Day.

Day 5 - April 29th. The Arrival. 

After our last update, we were sailing too fast. Maya raced with top speeds of 9 knots towards Makemo and we would have arrived at 4AM. According to the nautical information, however, slack water (no current) was at 8AM. Therefore, we had to spend 4 hours somehow. To accomplish this, Herbert reduced sail size, which brought us down to 5 knots. This was still too fast, but good for the time being. Later he removed all the sails and we arrived precisely at 8AM at the entry of the passage, but what we saw there made our blood freeze. There was a very strong outward current of about 4-6 knots, which shouldn’t be there. The nautical books said that it should be slack water with a slight inward current. As the current can reach up to 9 knots in that passage, we tried to get in before the current would get even stronger. The water was like in a washing machine. Maya had a hard time. We ran at 7 knots (13km/h) over water, which resulted in sometimes as little as 1 knot (1.8km/h) over ground. The water was agitated and it was the most Rock’n’Roll sailing we ever experienced. But Maya is the best, she did a great job. We were actually lucky. Right behind us, was a solo sailor - Daniel from SY Goyave- who was also waiting like us and had the same nautical information. He was struggling against the current for almost one hour more than we did! He claimed, it was the worst entry ever, and coming from a Breton, this means something ;-) So here we are safe and sound at the anchorage with turquoise and crystal-clear water and sunshine, not too hot though. Not as beautiful as Gambier, but still very nice. Our friends from SY Vagabond are also here. How cool! (And by the way, Asma is finally getting better, yessss...) Position: https://waypoint.li/map?q=-16.63,-143.57

Day 4. 

Herbert took a nice fresh-water shower in the morning with the last squall for the day. Then blue sky and blue sea for the rest of the day. With up to 9 knots speed we were even too fast for fishing. With a fish on the line, there is no way of slowing down to get it on board. We would need more hands to handle the sails, etc. For dinner, we had carrot soup with sweet potatoes and fresh Curcuma (Turmeric). We passed Raroia after nightfall. Raroia is the atoll where the Kon Tiki landed and sank. But the timing is bad (we would have to spend the whole night sailing back and forth until 8AM in order to go through the pass with fair current and at daylight), we continue to Makemo. Right now, while typing this update (1AM board time), we pass Taenga very close (4 Nautical Miles). We can’t see the atoll, but there is a sweet smell of flowers in the air. Mmmmm. Soon landfall, we reduced the sails in order to slow down to 5 knots so that we get to the east passage of Makemo right in time. Good night, ‘see’ you tomorrow! Position: https://waypoint.li/map?q=-16.31,-143.28

Day 3. 

We probably got the dates wrong. Today is April the 27th. Therefore, day 1 was the 25th and day 2 was the 26th. Sorry for that. Today started with sunshine and ended with sunshine. Easy sailing, maximum 1m waves and steady wind from the east. For dinner was Spaghettis with Eggplant-Tomato sauce. Right now we are passing the Islands of Disappointment, Napuka and Tepoto. They were ‘discovered’ by Magellan who was looking for water, but was disappointed to find none of it. Position: https://waypoint.li/map?q=-14.1761,-140.696

Day 2.

Still some squalls during the morning, then comfortable sailing again and no more rain. Today, we enjoyed a beef steak with mashed potatoes by Chef Herbert for dinner, looking at a wonderful sunset and playful dolphins :-). Asma’s spirits are back, and the stars, too! Our position: https://waypoint.li/map?q=-12.0959,-140.8364

Day 1 - April 25th, 2017

The last ten days were not much fun. Asma caught a tropical flu and was lying in bed all that time, just now getting better thanks to antibiotics. Our dinghy Pepita broke again and had to be fixed and dried during three days. Special thanks to SY Kyory for lending us their dinghy during all this time! The water pump broke and did not get back to service after numerous attempts to fix it. Again special thanks to SY Kyory for borrowing us their spare pump! About 5 food cans exploded in the bilge and started to rot. There was a huge mess, which had to be cleaned. Some background infos here for non-sailors. Sailing in the Pacific is more about repairing the boat than lying on sandy beaches. There is absolutely no infrastructure for boat repair until Tahiti and things continuously break on a boat. We haven’t seen a ship chandler for more than a year. Everything needs to be repaired with board means and parts that cannot be repaired need to be ordered and shipped from Tahiti (or from the continents), which may take weeks.We had plans to anchor in the other bays of Nuku Hiva and to visit the next Marquesian island Ua Pou, but now, we had to leave if we wanted to visit the Tuamotus. Also, it is good leaving the rain, the heat and the swell and go back again to Gambier-like conditions. So here we are on the ocean sailing towards the Tuamotus. This first night, while enjoying Herbert’s Boeuf Bourguignon for dinner outside at 6pm, Asma had the very bad idea to lighten the cockpit with Herbert’s iPhone. This is something we usually do on anchor as the cockpit lamp is broken since almost a year. You can imagine what was next: a sudden squall and bam! the iPhone felt in the water and sank - bye bye iPhone number 3. Please don’t call him on his Swiss number and be patient until he gets a new SIM card, probably in Tahiti. Also, bye bye to all the electronic navigation charts that were stored on Herberts phone. Of course Asma didn’t update the Tuamotus charts on her iPhone for back-up… This was the end for Asma’s nerves, feeling tired and useless for days and now this. Herbert had to take over her first shift, sent her to bed again until she calmed down and stopped crying. To top it up, we had squall after squall, and had mainly to steer by hand, under rain showers. Very unpleasant sailing.Fortunately, Herbert and our dear kiddos are doing great and are a big help by forcing Asma to cheer up and to look at the bright side. Don’t worry about the navigation charts, Herbert has numerous backup solutions. Every skipper has. The ones on the Herbert’s iPhone were just normally very practical for steering.
