New Tribe Discovered


Deep in Brazil's jungles, one the world's last remaining uncontacted indigenous tribes has been spotted and photographed for the first time from the air.

It is estimated that there are at least 100 other uncontacted tribes worldwide.

They were discovered by an anti-logging group during a helicopter patrol.


This is all really intersting. There are a few more photos which I'll link from the article.

I just hope that their discovery does not lead to this tribe's way of life being disturbed, but I believe it is likely that will occur.

Here is a picture of a tribe analyzed by the BBC in an attempt to give clues about how this tribe may live.

They should be hunted down like wild animals and there land used for Oil exploration !!!

Just kidding.

It was really weird to see them looking up and firing arrows at the plane. It's like looking under a rock !

I wonder what kind of stories they have about the monsters or gods that fly in the sky.

Instead of hunting them down, why not offer them a Coke? It's gonna happen sooner or lated.
