02/26/2020 15:45Has to chafe like a MF'er - notice how in all those pics you see of the "wild" people (taken from boats or airplanes) no one is wearing this stuff - no doubt the material was used for other purposes (shelters and such) prior to the arrival of Europeans - but it has to be impractical (other than for special occasions) to be everyday clothing.

02/24/2020 04:19It's their culture and they have lived that way for many years . They live in perfect harmony with nature . Those of you complaining- Europeans and North Americans, about the trees, it is your same people that are bribing governments to obtain lands for deforestation . It is your people causing the most destruction in the world . You have destroyed yours and are doing all you can to acquire indigenous lands for farming , mining and oh the irony, deforestation, so you can supply your industries . They know how to live in balance with nature and most of you really don't. Leave them be

02/24/2020 00:39Rare tree? Don't get any ideas! We don't need more deforestation! Sheep wool grows back. How long before that tree is replaced to that size?
