1 Indigenous Tribe of South America

2  The Uros tribe lives high in the Peru and Bolivia in the Andes and on Lake Titicaca on islands.  They were forced onto the islands when the Inca pushed them back off their territory.  The islands are floating on reeds the grow naturally and have to be replaced as they disintegrate.  Almost everything they use is made from these same reeds, including food, homes, and furniture.

3  Because life on the islands is so hard, many have moved back to the mainland, leaving only a few hundred on the islands. The Uros tribe lives off hunting, fishing, and selling their beautiful handicrafts.  There are 42 of these self made islands. Each lasts about 30 years.  The Uros tribe lives off hunting, fishing, and selling their beautiful handicrafts.  There are around 2000 descendents of the Uros still alive today.
