With her son Tamataí on her lap, Huyra, an indigenous woman from the Guajás ethnicity, breastfeeds a bush pig cub, a common act among this ethinic group in Maranhão. After the hunt, the orphaned cubs are taken by the indigenous people and raised as legitimate children. With this photo, photographer Pisco Del Gaiso was awarded the King of Spain International Journalism Prize in 1993. The image is part of the exhibition "Images of Fact - 80 Years of Folha", held in 2001 at Masp.
