Acre Border Dispute May Spark Bolivian Brazilian War
The Acre region in northern Bolivia borders Brazil and Peru and has long been disputed. Bolivia recently leased part of Acre to an Anglo American syndicate, provoking Brazil which threatens to sever relations if the contract is rescinded. The area is rubber rich and sparsely inhabited by tribes described as largely shy, some cannibalistic, who resist white intrusion. Natives use darts and tavers, wear feathered head dresses, and rely on the Nama as pack animal due to the absence of horses or mules.
