I would think that generations of inbreeding would be more of a danger to their survival than anything else.

I searched FR for “tribe” and nothing showed up. But this is a BBC article, the previous post is from Reuters.

That’s one heck of a backyard they’ve got there!

Looks like they found DU’s headquarters.

I’ll bet they have a heck of a time getting cell-phone reception out there...

Have we finally located the fugowee tribe?

I suspect that the word “tribe” is not PC. Try another keyword like “native peoples” or “aboriginal”.

Amazing photo. Thanks for posting.

Wow, what a place for a real “tribal council” meeting!

Yea,

I don’t think so, My brother-in-law who can’t read a map was just asking about them this past weekend.

The way things are going, those huts might be Luxury Condo’s in a few years. EnviroNazis want that kind of standard of living for us.

I'd be a bit suspicious in that the picture takers have a vested interest in stopping logging of the Rain Forests and destroying habitats of natives....not that I disagree with that.

However, 2-4 huts in a tiny clearing the size of my back yard and a handful of people (had that many family over for breakfast this morning) - does not look like a viable, sustainable group. And where are the curious little kids?

'could be staged. It's been done before.

Halp thim, Jon Carry, they r stuck!

WOW!! Talk about paranoia. You dismiss an entire people because ONE photo of most likely one corner of their village doesn’t meet your exacting specifications?

Seems a little weird to me.

Lucky devils, it would be the life.

Oh and for all those who use this site as a “conversion forum” here’s your real chance! There can’t be that many groups who have not heard the ‘Good News’ right?
This could be the last one. The Rapture could be at hand!

So I would advise all my self-assured, self-righteous evangelical brothers and sisters to drop what their doing, buy a ticket to Brazil, and head in the bush. Don’t worry about a returm trip, you’ll be floating in the sky before you know it!

They need to deliver some clothes, technology and modern conveniences to these people. If they look at it all and choose not to use it so be it.

I would imagine, that given the choice that they don't even know exists. they would choose modern life.

I have to say they are great at camouflage. A plane could hardly discern the huts from the ground. But their red skin is a giveaway...
