Existence of 200 ‘uncontacted’ tribal people in Brazilian rainforest confirmed

The Brazilian government has confirmed the existence of about 200 unidentified tribal people in the Amazon rainforest.

Satellite pictures in January revealed this community was living near the border with Peru. A flight expedition over the area in April confirmed that they are about 200 in numbers.

Along with Survival International (Funai), an organization working for tribal people's rights worldwide, Brazilian authorities found that these people are living in three clearings in the Javari Valley in the western Amazon.

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.

Brazil follows a policy not to contact these people, instead monitor their land so that they can live without any risk.

The community and its four straw-roofed huts were spotted in the Javari Valley, which is believed to be hiding around 2000 uncontacted tribes in the world.

Survival International has released the first, clear pictures of this ancient Amazonian tribe, who grow crops, peanuts, bananas, corns and more.

Have a look ( photos of white huts only at link)

You want to see an uncontacted tribe? Check out the Ron Paul threads in the RLC Liberty Caucus forum.

Send in the resident and see if he might become a pin cushion for blow darts after soliciting a reaction using his shuck and jive tribalism,like he did for Odinga in Kenya in 2006/2007.

A lost tribe - they only have black & white television with three channels.

I knew where you stood. The reason I posted was because this woman exemplifies that ‘noble savage’ canard. No sarcasm tag needed.

They may have never seen a modern human being but I’d bet a crisp $100 dollar bill they would see through 0bozo’s jive in a New York minute! ;^)

Liberals and leftists no longer like bare breasts and bamboo penis tubes.They are no longer politically correct after a lying minority tribe had occupied the White Hut.
Therefore no pics of the natives themselves.

National Geographic no longer is interesting, they just drone on about false Global Warming and look to get Al Gorp on their editorial board.

Those huts don’t look like they were built to code, and I bet they didn’t draw a permit to build them either./s

Unless they're being tweeted to them from their congresscritter.

I gave up on them in the early nineties when they went whole hog for Global Warming and crawled up Al Gore’s bunghole.

The toadying to Gore really turned my stomach.

Should someone ping Lazamataz as our "Ambassador of HIT IT!"? Sounds like a "first contact" mission opportunity...

Wouldn't this violate the Prime Directive, or something?

Yes, those were the days, Grey's Anatomy at the local library and National Geographics taught us a lot. :)

Lazamataz is back? he was suspended a few weeks back. I hope he was reinstated. I miss the guy.

Yes, Laz would definitely hit “first contact!” LOL.

ACORN denies reports that they are attempting to register them to vote as dhimmicrats.

Probably one or two Japanese soldiers still out there who didn't get the message ;-)
