More recent collections from the eighteenth- to twentieth-century are a testament to the resilience of Latin America's indigenous cultures and to the lessons we have still to learn from them. Among the most outstanding are clothing, tools, decorated vessels, ceremonial paraphernalia, and musical instruments from native and rural peoples of Amazonian Brazil. These beautiful objects show the ingenious use of natural materials, such as the bright feathers of toucans and parrots, and are a reminder of the current struggles of indigenous cultures for identity and human rights.
