In one of the photos a person appears walking beside the largest hut. He/she appears to be wearing a canvas jacket.

Check the cellphone on his belt.....heh

Leave them alone...

Leave them alone...

Do we still have any of those small pox trade blankets left?

[patriot08]

Could we get the government to put Texas on the ‘uncontacted tribes’ so they would leave us alone?

[Ditter]

I was told by a real Apache in NM that when the camp ground got too messy , animal bones, guts, poop etc, that the tribe just moved to a clean spot. That makes sense because mother nature would clean the dirty spot up in a couple of seasons. Now had they been tossing out their beer cans, whiskey bottles and plastic bags it would been a mess for a long long time.;D

According to Fabricio Amorim, who led Funai’s overflight expedition, illegal fishing, hunting, logging, mining, cattle ranching, missionary actions, drug trafficking and oil exploration on the Peru-Brazil border area are the main threats to the well-being of this community and their dwellings.

A couple of things...

1) Illegal fishing, hunting impacts them?? How is THEIR hunting and fishing legal?
2) "Missionary action" is a threat to their well-being??? Missionaries take them food, medicine, education. That's a harm???

These people have no resistance to outside diseases. Contact with them might kill them all, no matter who it was doing it or for what reason. .......

A lesser known threat was the Coca Cola bottle he threw out of the airplane.

Send in NATO.

Besides kidnapping mates, I think they’ve been raiding hair salons.

The gods are still crazy.

Right. Teach them to blame the rich (millionaires and billionaires) on their plight.

Who the Hell said there was any plight?

"2) "Missionary action" is a threat to their well-being??? Missionaries take them food, medicine, education. That's a harm???

"Diversity" gone nuts. Liberals (who supposedly care so much) look on these people as if they were socially active gorillas or monkeys.

Just one more form of left-wing racism: Value the culture, devalue the individual people.

These people have no resistance to outside diseases. Contact with them might kill them all, no matter who it was doing it or for what reason. .......

But they probably have a life expectancy of <40 years as it is.

Now THAT is funny! My husband had to come over to see what I was laughing about.

[Red Badger]

We don’t know that. They might have a life as long as 50 or 60........
