OHLALA SO INCREDIBLE! INDIGENOUS TRIBES IN BRAZIL

Look at those dramatic images released by the FUNAI in Brazilian showing an indigenous tribe FUNAI said they have been tracking the tribe for years and now decided to release the pictures to prove the existence of isolated tribes in the Amazon region, and warn about the threat of invasion or extinction. There are more than 100 uncontacted indigenous tribes worldwide.
I had no idea that indigenous tribes that have never been in contact with the "outside" world still existed nowadays. This tribe is located in the Amazon region by the Peruvian border. I just imagine how scared those people were by the vision of an aircraft, as you can see they were pointed their arrows at them. It's just like us having an alien space ship flying over our heads.
I am also not sure what to think about their protection, it looks like keeping animals in a National Park. An Australian-based linguist says the less we know about one of South America's uncontacted indigenous tribes, the better it is for them.

WOW!
that is absolutely amazing!
the mind boggles at the very thought that humans STILL exist as in prehistoric times...
imagine what a HUGE shock it would be for them if they stepped out into the real world?
and what if the ACTUAL real world was totally more advanced and WE were living in a similar cul-de-sac...
haha! simply amazing!

Quick! Send in the Christians to convert these savage beasts (and give them smallpox) before Jesus starts to cry!

lol @ Brian
but seriously, what does DannyH mean by the "real" world. Their world as real to them as ours is to us--they should be left alone. God help any society that is redeemed by Western science and "democracy."

hehe.. don't think i worded that right.
when i said 'real world' i actually meant "our" real world.
which is why i kinda went on to say, what if 'our real world' was blissfully ignorant of something even bigger...
p.s. nice one brian

I thought this was absolutely amazing when I heard it on the news but I think that by showing the tribe, they're exploiting them and ultimately risking the tribe's safety.

Pay attention! The indians group is with painted body...maybe it's a produced photo. The indians don't use painting in theirs bodys all the time.
