Description

Seated, left to right: Debu Zo'e, Sei Zo'e, Araturu Zo'e, and Sero Zo'e.

In back, standing: Husa raijyt Zo'e and Musa raijyt Zo'e painting their bodies with urucum.

Zo'e women generally use urucum (Bixa orellana), the red fruit of the urucum plant, to color their bodies.

They also use it in cooking. Urucum is a shrub native to the tropical zones of the Americas.

Indigenous Americans have long used it for body painting, especially for painting the lips, hence its nickname: arvore-batom (lipstick tree).

Zo'e Indigenous Territory, state of Para, 2009.
