Astonishing new pictures of an uncontacted tribe

Postby admin » Tue Feb 01, 2011 5:26 pm

New photos obtained by Survival International
show uncontacted Indians in never-seen-before detail.

The pictures, taken by Brazil’s Indian Affairs Department,
reveal a thriving, healthy community
with baskets full of manioc and papaya fresh from their gardens.

Peru’s President Garcia has publicly suggested uncontacted tribes have been ‘invented’ by ‘environmentalists’ opposed to oil exploration in the Amazon, while another spokesperson compared them to the Loch Ness monster. In fact, there are more than one hundred uncontacted tribes around the world.

Illegal logging in a neighbouring reserve in Peru is forcing uncontacted Indians there to flee into this area, and the tribe in the photos is facing increasing pressure.
