Stunning photos of how tribes around the world are approaching modernity

Over the last century, tribes are being driven from their lands and traditions, and forced to embrace a majoritarian view of life. They are now in varying stages of reconciliation with ‘us’, the outsiders, with our notions of modernity and progress.

Danish chef Claus Meyer (left) eats a typical Bolivian dish called ‘falso conejo’ (faux rabbit), prepared by ethnic Aymara cook Isidora Ascencio (right), who works at IBIS, a Danish NGO that supports indigenous organisations, in La Paz, Bolivia. In 2011 Meyer, chef and co-founder of the Noma restaurant in Copenhagen (voted the the world’s best restaurant many times) was in Bolivia to work with IBIS to create a cooking school with a true Bolivian identity, using the organic ingredients that are commonplace in the country.
