UPDATE: 4 February
An extraordinary new film of the tribe in these pictures has been released. It is the first aerial footage of any uncontacted community. Watch now »
New photos obtained by Survival International show uncontacted Indians in never-seen-before detail. The Indians are living in Brazil, near the Peruvian border, and are featured in the ‘Jungles’ episode of BBC1’s ‘Human Planet’ (Thurs 3 Feb, 8pm, UK only).
The pictures were taken by Brazil’s Indian Affairs Department, which has authorized Survival to use them as part of its campaign to protect their territory. They reveal a thriving, healthy community with baskets full of manioc and papaya fresh from their gardens.
The tribe’s survival is in serious jeopardy as an influx of illegal loggers invades the Peru side of the border. Brazilian authorities believe the influx of loggers is pushing isolated Indians from Peru into Brazil, and the two groups are likely to come into conflict.

If they were found again doesn’t that mean they were touched?

After watching the media rewrite news less than 48 hours old, I'm going with that one.

IIRC, there was a previous ‘untouched’ tribe in the Amazon Rain Forest and another in the South Pacific islands a couple of decades ago. Later, however, both were revealed to have been staged.
How much university/government grant money is involved in this latest ‘untouched’ tribe study?

Since they are a "untouched" people, how would we know since they have not been contacted.

This just in: Video with sound of the tribe has just been released to National Geographic. The tribe can be heard chanting, “Where the Fugawe, Where the Fugawe, Where the Fugawe . . . . . . “.
