Uncontacted Indian tribe spotted in Brazil

[Ikutiera]

RIO DE JANEIRO, Brazil -- 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.

I pray to God that the Government leaves them alone, as well as these National Geographic punters and Discovery Channel.

Well, you can still run naked with a bow and arrow in your garden, and let your imagination work.

For the joy of your gossiping neighbor ladies and the shrink your parents will send you to ....

A few dead bodies have turned up recently in Glasgow, so right now might not be the best time to go running about naked with Brazilian Aboriginal weaponry.

Incredible.
Who knows what is still out there.

That's pretty cool, although I'm afraid the do-gooders and other goofs will eventually decide to "civilize" (=annihilate, convert...) and "modernize" (=destroy) these people and their traditional ways of life. I mean, surely they can't be happy without things like multiculturalism, trash entertainment, junk food and chemical drugs! Someone has to bring these poor people some good ol' Yankee-based modern western pseudo-civilization!

Propably wasn't such a great idea to be spotted by the airplane after all, knowing what this may and will lead to at some point.

I bet in a few hundred years when someone "discovers" the remains of this tribe, they will find paintings in caves or on rocks showing some "flying device", and then some really out there knobs will use it to claim aliens have been visiting earth from other planets.

It is claimed only in connection with Mayans, as far as I can remember (space travels etc).

Hadn't a French team discovered another lost tribe years ago? I seem to remember it had been proved a hoax. It was in Papua Nueva Guninea or in Amazonia (really far-off, I can't remember well...)
