Traditional Amazon Fishing Community Continues To Live In Stilt Houses

SAO LUIS, BRAZIL - NOVEMBER 24: Children gather in the traditional fishing community of Sao Francisco, where some residents live in wooden homes constructed on stilts above the water, on November 24, 2014 in Sao Luis, Brazil. More than 30 families live in the stilted section of the community along what is known as the Amazon coast and most fish artisinally. Community members say they have been promised homes on land by the government for years but they have yet to receive them. Residents must rebuild the homes every few years as the wood eventually rots from water exposure. (Photo by Mario Tama/Getty Images)
