You got that one correct. I’m sure ACORN has contacted them!
On the other hand, if they truly are an “uncontacted” people, do you think the civilized world might, for once, do the right thing and leave them alone?
Why would that be the right thing?
I reject the notion that that is the right thing.
Life expectancy in a tribe like this is often 35 years or less and are very brutal, expecially to those who can't fight to defend themselves. Civilized society cooperates so that we can ALL have better lives. The right thing to do is to invite them to join civilized society and to defend the human rights of individuals who wish to do so.
Typically, the people who want to maintain the isolation are the ones who control and brutalize the others. (i.e. Same as the socialist/communist model.)

Bit of a National Geographic Mindset. NGM teaches us that the “savage” peoples of the world should be kept in a state of savagery -— living in huts, dying young, having a generally brutal life -— so they can be (IMHO) studied and examined by enlighted ecotourist who love to regail from the safety of their Aspen homes their times among the savages.
“Shame,” they say, that said savages “have been now contaminated by Western society; but now, let’s go look at my blue period Picasso.”
Well, has anyone ASKED SAID SAVAGES? Why do savages, on contact, move to farms or towns, watch TV, and drink Coca-Cola? Why do their grand children buy a Toyota and work as accoutants?
Could it be because Western society and life is easier, better, and generally more pleasant — even western society of the third-world nature in little towns in Brazil/Peru? (No worse than America circa 1870, and, like us, on the way up.)
Said savages (and I am using the term “savages” for effect) have a right to self-determination.
They are not there for our study purposes.
If they don’t like Western society, they will stay where they are. If they do, well, more power to them.

They’ll be on the next survivor season.
