The Akuntsu are a tribe of only 6 individuals due to being massacred by loggers. They inhabit the central western Brazilian region of Rondonia. They live a very primitive existence but have an interesting more sedentary lifestyle than tribes similarly untamed.
They practiced a fairly typical Amazonian shamanism, utilizing hallucinogenics, "medicine man" type Shamans and most likely an animistic religion. They don't seem to use any type of bodypaint or tattooing.
They also have very minor piercing, very small gauge ear piercings on both the males and females.
They aren't very sexually dimorphic and consist of mixed Lagid and Amazonian phenotypes in my opinion.
