This is why I'm crossing the border into Brazil to find a woman. Alberta women are soooo unapproachable.
Seriously though, it is amazing that there are still people living this way, although given the size and remoteness of the area isn't all that surprising. I hope they are able to maintain their way of life, and that civilization doesn't encroach on them, however that may not be possible the way the modern world gobbles up natural resources.
