contact between technologically advanced cultures and more primitive cultures invariably turns out bad for the less developed culture. They’re wiped out by disease, driven off their land, etc. That’s the way it’s been throughout human history. And if there are alien civilizations out there in the universe, it’ll probably happen to the human race as a whole if we ever make contact. Left vs Right notwithstanding, I don’t see a very good outcome for these people. Probably better for them if they had remained undiscovered.

Bears repeating! Let them decide what they want. It’s no one else’s business.
