World Cup 2014: 22 Staggering Images Of Brazil's Indigenous Tribes Taking On The Riot Police With Bows And Arrows
These were the extraordinary scenes just hours before Brazil's World Cup team began their training for the tournament, as the Ãndios attempted to force their way toward the capital's National Stadium, firing arrows and throwing rocks.

Brasilia's stadium will cost roughly three times the price tag first budgeted, approximately 1.9 billion reais (£500m), a report from city auditors said last week.
Though smaller than the million-strong protests that rocked the South American nation during 2013, never before have demonstrations taken on this colour, as activists were joined by 300 indigenous protesters who had been staging a separate sit-in at Congress demanding land rights.
The tribesmen are known for their Brasilia protests outside government buildings, but this is the first time they have joined the social change activists charge against the World Cup.
One policeman was reportedly shot in the leg by an arrow, Huff Post correspondents at the Brasil Post reported, with protesters aiming their weapons at the Congress building, then at police.
The protester who shot arrows at police has been arrested and detained. The newspaper Globo reported that at least two indigenous people were also injured.
In an attempt to cool inflamed tensions as kick-off draws closer, Brazil's President Dilma Rousseff has promised the Homeless Worker's movement that squatters in makeshift encampments around the stadiums will receive government housing.
But Brazil will call in troops to prevent protests disrupting football games and threatening fans' safety, she has warned.

Food Banks ;Norman Tebbitt eats humble pie
Norman Tebbit eats 'humble pie' after visit to food bank
As U-turns go, it was pretty spectacular. The former Conservative Party chairman Norman Tebbit was once so vehemently critical of food banks that he claimed people only used them to save money for junk food. But now, after visiting one, in a dramatic volte face, the outspoken Tory peer has admitted to being forced to eat "a fair plate of humble pie".
"I was impressed with the quality and dedication of the people working there to help people in many sorts of difficulties." Lord Tebbit said. "There was a systematic approach to uncovering the deeper problems which had brought people to the point where they simply did not have enough money to buy adequate food."
In a blog for The Daily Telegraph, Lord Tebbit wrote of his discovery that there was no "slap-happy handing over of food boxes" and that "staff, volunteers and professionals worked side by side through their procedures to establish if the claimant was genuine."
Despite his enlightening visit to the Trussell Trust-run initiative in Haverhill, Suffolk, Lord Tebbit didn't go so far as to say food banks were the best solution to the consequences of welfare reform and unemployment. They were, he said, an "ointment to ease the symptoms of some aspects" of them.
In March, Lord Tebbit asked his fellow peers to "initiate some research into the sales of junk food in the areas where people are relying for their basic foods on food banks".
His implication – that food banks were only used by those trying to save money for junk food – was the latest in a series of controversial views he has expressed over the years.
In January, Lord Tebbit insisted that those suffering from obesity had only themselves to blame for eating "rubbish foods". Last year, Lord Tebbit said gay marriage would open up the possibility of a "lesbian queen".
