Reed-Canoe-Poling Uro On Lake Titicaca



Peru. Lake Titicaca. Uro-Aymara Indian girl poling reed canoe from her floating reed island to another. She lives in a world of reeds—the reeds surrounding her and those her family uses. To build reed islands, reed huts, reed beds (mats), reed boats, reeds to fuel the fire, and even reeds to snack on. Long ago, they even used them to make their clothes.

Join me in Ecuador this year and learn to shoot photos like those on this blog

Pérou. Lac Titicaca. Jeune fille Uro-Aymara usant d’une perche pour mouvoir son canot de roseaux de son ile flottante à celle d’un autre membre de sa famille. Elle vit dans un monde de roseaux. Ceux qui poussent autour d’elle et ceux dont sa famille se sert. Pour créer des iles flottantes, des huttes, des nattes pour s’y coucher, des canots et pour nourrir leurs feux. Ils le mâchent pour calmer la faim. Anciennement ils s’en faisaient des vêtements.
