Tribe Found Untouched By Civilization

Uncontacted Brazilian Indian Group Spotted In Remote Amazon Jungle

(AP)  One of Brazil's last uncontacted Indian tribes has been spotted in the far western Amazon jungle near the Peruvian border, the National Indian Foundation said Thursday.

The Indians were sighted in an Ethno-Environmental Protected Area along the Envira River in flights over remote Acre state, said the Brazilian government foundation, known as Funai.

Funai said it photographed "strong and healthy" warriors, six huts and a large planted area. But it was not known to which tribe they belonged, the group said.

"Four distinct isolated peoples exist in this region, whom we have accompanied for 20 years," Funai expert Jose Carlos Meirelles Junior said in a statement.

The tribe sighted recently is one of the last not to be contacted by officials. Funai does not make contact with such tribes Indians and prevents invasions of their land to ensure their autonomy, the foundation said.

Survival International said the Indians are in danger from illegal logging in Peru, which is driving tribes over the border and could lead to conflict with the estimated 500 uncontacted Indians now living on the Brazilian side.

There are more than 100 uncontacted tribes worldwide, most of them in Brazil and Peru, the group said in a statement.

"These pictures are further evidence that uncontacted tribes really do exist," Survival director Stephen Corry said.

"The world needs to wake up to this, and ensure that their territory is protected in accordance with international law. Otherwise, they will soon be made extinct."

WELL I''M SURE THAT CHRISTIAN AND MUSLIM MISSIONARIES ARE NOW GOING TO BE FLOCKING TO THE AREA TO SAVE THESE PEOPLES'' SOULS. JUST WATCH!!!!!!!!!

HOW DARE THESE MISSIONARIES BE SO SELF-RIGHTIOUS AS TO THINK THAT THEIR-OWN WAY OF BELIEVING IS THE CORRECT WAY TO GOD.

HA, ALL CUURENT MONOTHEASTIC RELIGIONS COME FROM PAGAN RELIGIONS SUCH AS THESE. IN FACT,..YOU CAN SAY THAT CHRISTIANITY AND ISLAM HAVE PAGAN "DNA."

IF THEY RESIST AND DO NOT BELIEVE IN JESUS THEN WE MUST SENT OUR BRAVE TROOPS AND F16 TO ATTACK THEM AND KILL ALL OF THEM.... THIS IS WHAT WE ARE VERY GOOD AT.

[chatarpatar]

They all seem to be G A Y.

[blazercoach1]

But gee....what if they practice polygamy? What if one the children in the tribe has a bruise? What if there is a pregnant girl under the age of 18? Shouldn''t we go running in and take away all of the village children until we can be sure?

[gopsoccermom]

ChatarPatar, correct! If they reject Jesus, surely they are minions of Satan sent here to spread his evil!

[godseyesore-2009]

Well they''ve been discovered. It is too late for them now. They will be decimated like all else humanity invades.

[zorar-2009]

Don''t Tell Bush or Cheney..they may think these guys are Pagan Terroists with blow guns capables of mass destruction...Cheney will want to nuke them!

[tomanyt]

How long will it be before someone converts them to Christianity????

[zorar-2009]

Don''''t Tell Bush or Chaney..they may think these guys are Pagan Terroists with blow guns capables of mass destruction (& Hiding Bin Laden)...Chaney will want to nuke them!

[jn122736]

It is amazing that these people still exist today.

I know that the article lists them as %u201C%u201Duncontacted %u201D%u201D but I assume that means no officially recorded contact, because it is hard to believe they could actually exist without coming in contact with civilized people, or at least be in contact with other tribes that regularly deal with civilized communities,

BTW
Judging by most comments on this article it is little wonder that our country is fast losing any respect we ever had. They really show the rest of the world just how depraved we are becoming. Shame

I wondered that myself. Her comments come either from a talented satirist or a person mandated by God to bludgeon people with her (not His) particular brand of concrete religiousity...LOL.

Either way...

So there is a place in this world where the residents haven''t heard of Paris Hilton or Britney Spears?? I think I''d like to live there.

gopsoccerman... is no doubt Chaney in disguise
The real devil are the jesus nut cases that think christian belief is fo everyone.. because the''re so insecure about their own identity & who they are!

[doctorj2012]

here''s my impression of missionaries:

(missionary holds food out to starving child):
"Would you like some food little Pepe?"

(missionary yanks food back from starving child''s grasp):
"Ah, ah, ah... Who''s your Savior? Who''s your Savior, little Pepe?"

If oil is found under their land, you can bet they will be "contacted" - with bulldozers. Their trees are already being chopped down and sold.

[olebd]

Looks like we need to bring them a better tanning spray.

Leave them alone.

[haoli25]

Quick, put ''em all in cages and bring them to the U.S. for a tour and a few talk shows. Dr. Phil can fix those naked heathens!

[ajaxtheleast]

"Untouched" by the civilized world?

If we could increase the size of

the civilized world to say about

2 percent, put more boots on the

ground, cover more territory

disoveries like this would be a

thing of the past.

[marcpcbs]

If history is any indication of what is to come, then just like on this comment page, we will laugh at them, ridicule them, put down all their traditions and within a year or two over 90% of them will be dead.

We cannot drill in a huge Pool of oil that lies from the south tip of Florida all the way to South America because Democrats forbid the Bad Old United States from poluting the world. But China, Cuba and Brazil Drill for that oil and don''t give a flying CRAPP what Environmental Democrat Nuts have to say about it. Democrats never say a word about their Communist Friends who polute the globe without guilt. And if these "Indians" get in the way, Brazil will BullDoze their land without hesitation. Its so good to know that Democrats will always protect the rights of Communist Nations and protect the world from the really bad country, The United States of America.

.....THEREFORE THEY MUST BE ATTACKED OTHERWISE THEY WILL TAKE OVER AMERICA AND ALL AMERICAN WILL DIE!!!!!

[colonieny]

As a college Professor of Women and the World, I find this story as a gateway to ask the logical question, what is the status of the women in these so called "untouched" tribes ? Are the women supressed, repressed in the traditional ways women unorganized have been for millions of years of American civilizaton ? As an academic and FEMINIST, we need to organize I believe a task force to go into these areas to liberate the women from male dominance.
Why are we just sitting here when there is obvious women at risk ?

[jackie0428]

No matter what ANY of you tree-huggers say, you all know deep in your hearts that these people could all die tomorrow and it would make no difference in the lives of 99.99% of us. Heck, you didn''t even know these savages were there until you saw this story.

Lets send a team of Lesbians in. The men with spears look like real intellectuals who would work for the inclusion of Lesbians into their daily diet.

You''re kidding right? Millions of years of American civilization? So dinosaurs were Americans? Were the female dinos subordinated by oppressive male dinos? Please tell me this is a joke! The last thing these free people need is a task force of feminists descending on their peaceful villages to teach them political correctness. God save them from this ultimate calamity!

If cooked just right I believe a feminist tastes a bit like a combination of chicken and New World monkey. They tend to be stringy though.

First of all,
If you don''t like the USA that I suggest you go find a better place, or you could stop spreading blame and start spreading all the things that make for a better future like hope, faith and helping others and through your own words and actions teach others to communicate and work together.

These things are contagious.

Second,
I''m not sure what your saying. You complain that many other countries are polluting and destroying this world in their pursuit of oil and then you complain that the Democrats aren''t allowing the US to join in?

I believe you need to think this through some more.

Kudos for the natives....they can survive without the OIL we are so addicted to, along with all the technology that propels us. But, what do they think about those objects in the sky and do they worship a deity or have cultural traditions? Why do I see so much orange in the photograph? Has someone colored them to preserve their identity?

Whether anyone should contact them is not an open question because this info would not have been released if their existence was to be protected. Too bad that our forefathers did not respect the Indians they found on the shores of the US back in the 1600''s and left them undisturbed.......Where would we all be today if that had been the case?

[newsjunky5]

They''re looking up at the airplane. So much for being untouched by civilization.

Unless they were a part of civilization years ago, and left. If we could get members of the special forces into those communal huts at night we would find out. If they find tie-dyes, Grateful Dead recordings, and rolling papers we''ll know they splintered off to start anew in the 60''s.
