In this October 24, 2015 photo, indigenous men take photos of a Pataxo indigenous woman from Brazil during a "parade of indigenous beauty" at the World Indigenous Games in Palmas, Brazil.

It was, they insisted, a celebration of facial features, body types and adornments not often given their due. (Photo by Eraldo Peres/AP Photo)
