Hi,
I read an article about it on the news. I found it unbelievable that there are uncontacted tribes in this planet, specially in my country Peru.
Good article.

Why is nobody helping these poor people?? This is a typical example of the western world ignoring the problems abroad. They have identified the issue, have the facilities to fix it, i.e. television, mobiles, topshop, fake tan… but are not prepared to ‘waste’ resources on the ‘foreigners’.
SOMEBODY HELP THESE PEOPLE OUT!

It would have been a nice story, but…

THE NOT-SO-LOST TRIBE

by Mike Krumboltz – June 23, 2008

A few months ago, mainstream news outlets reported that a photographer had found a lost tribe of warriors near the Brazilian-Peruvian border. Photos of the tribe backed up his claim. As it turns out, the story is only half true. The men in the photo are members of a tribe, but it certainly ain’t “lost.” In fact, as the photographer, José Carlos Meirelles, recently explained, authorities have known about this particular tribe since 1910.

The photographer and the agency that released the pictures wanted to make it seem like they were members of a lost tribe in order to call attention to the dangers the logging industry may have on the group. The photographer recently came clean, and news outlets, perhaps embarrassed at having been taken for a ride, have been slow to pick up the story.

i think they will eventually be living our way of life.
look at them. somehow the new generations that will be born into the tribe will have a sense of modernity and technology.

wonder if they’ll invent handphones.

maybe our scientist could ‘keep’ them in a compound area and tell them not to cross ‘the red line’ or the monster will eat them up, and see how they’ll progress over the years. haahaa.

I think they should be introduced to the joys of modern living not isolated from it.
