Never-before-seen high-definition footage of an uncontacted Amazonian tribe has surfaced in a recent interview between an American conservationist and podcaster Lex Fridman.

Author Paul Rosolie has spent two decades working in the Amazon and says the moment was one of the most profound experiences he’s ever had.

“In order for any of this to make sense, I had to show you this footage … This has not been shown ever before. This is a world first,” he told Fridman.

Maybe take them some McDonald’s next time?

[Allegra]

Wow…two decades. That’s impressive. I’ve heard the turnover rate at Amazon is really high because it’s hard to work there.

What? Oh…the Amazon? Like the river?

No one is fat.

[Rad_J]

That is because they already ate the fat ones.

[Peter ODonnell]

Oh we’ve been contacted, we’re just not that into the rest of the human race thanks anyway.

The article doesn’t mention it, but a day or two later those tribe members almost killed one of the people Paul Rosolie was with that day. People were traveling down the river by boat or canoe, and the tribe members attacked with arrows. Only one guy was hit, but he was hit pretty bad and was lucky to have lived.

I can relate!

Only the males are seen in the video. They hide their females in a protective way. Meanwhile in the “civilized” West, we invite those who are not like us into our countries so they can seduce or rape our women. So who which culture is more civilizes in that regard?

[SMARTY]

Ha! Which one ate Joe’s uncle?

[centermass_socrates]

Gilda Radner was a one of kind, certainly.
SNL sucks today, but back then SNL was hilarious and she was at the top of her game. She was so, very talented.

[Hot Tabasco]

I suspect they looked up the history of American Indians and realized the White Man was trying to screw them over.

As with the National Geographic years ago, a pretext for porn. Avoid.

[MayflowerMadam]

Very good point. We’re the heathens now.

[AppyPappy]

They were reluctant until we offered them government benefits

Just a hippie commune???
