Rainforest Family (Syncap Version)

Depicts a Choco Indian family, the Chimpacco family, from the Central American rain forest. There are only two seasons in the rainforest; wet and not so wet. During the dry season it only rains three or four times a week. The Choco Indians of Central and South America cope with this environment, using it to their advantage. Ingenious uses of forest products, particularly plant products, are shown, along with ceremonial aspects of the culture.
