Life on a Floating Island



Peru. Lake Titicaca. Floating reed island. An Uro-Aymara indian grinds barley between two stones. Reeds are the stuff of her life. She sleeps on a reed mat, in a reed hut, and on a reed floating island. She moves to other floating islands or to land by reed boat, fuels her fire with reeds, and occasionally even eats reeds.

Pérou. Lac Titicaca. Ile de joncs flottante. Indienne Uro-Aymara broyant de l’orge entre deux pierres. Son monde repose sur le jonc. Elle dort sur une natte de joncs, sous une hutte de joncs, sur une ile de joncs flottante. Elle se transporte á terre ou d’une ile de joncs flottante a l’autre avec un canot de joncs, cuisine sur un feu de joncs, et parfois mange des joncs.
