Housing • The Native people of the Rainforests live in houses made of logs, branches, grasses, bamboo, and many other materials which are found in the rainforest.
Natural Resources • Since the people of the Rainforests have almost no contact with other people in Brazil, they must use natural resources for everything. • Housing • Clothing • Cooking • Catching food • Hunting • Can you think of anything else they use natural resources for?
Work • Since money is not needed for living in the rainforest, the native tribes need to work for survival. • What do you suppose they have to do on a daily basis?
