A remarkable video shows a group of indigenous people seen for the first time by the outside world as they emerged from a Brazilian jungle while fleeing illegal loggers and drug traffickers, according a Brazilian group that tracks such jungle tribes.
The group of men are believed to be natives of Peru but they were filmed in northern Brazil on the banks of the Envira River which runs near the Peruvian border. The encounter took place within the last two weeks, but the video was released Thursday by the Brazilian indigenous authority FUNAI.
The tribal men are naked except for belts and loincloths and carry different weapons, including bows and arrows and spears in the 8-minute video.
A few of the tribal men are seen with markings on their faces and they all have styled their dark black hair in a similar bowl-cut fashion.
At one point one of the men blatantly steals a machete-type knife while another takes an ax from a settlement, despite shouts of protest by the villagers. Another member of their group grabs a blue material that looks like either a towel or a piece of clothing.
Brazilian authorities have not identified the group, but were able to determine that the dialect of the language that they're speaking is a form of the Panoan linguistic group.

At the 4:32 mark....isn’t he holding a RIFLE.
Great, people in lost jungle tribes have more gun rights than people in most American cities.
Garry Trudeau is the sleaziest.
My one-time boss who was a very intelligent and good looking guy was Jane Pauley's bf in high school. I could NEVER figure out why she married that creep.
That was gonna be the next question. How many of them are GLBT? Once the incorporate in to “modern” society, it won’t be long. They’d have been better off staying in the jungle with no contact.

He sure is! Wonder where he got that from?

Yes, stealing from others, after being shown goodwill by the sharing of bananas with them. I suppose Obama would say that it’s not fair that the other villagers didn’t give them all of their weapons and goods.
What was Laurence Tribe doing in the Brazilian jungle?
“Wonder where he got that from?”
Wal-Mart!
What is the carbon footprint of these primitives? Do they recycle?
It is just a group of men? Where are their females? Do they have females hidden away somewhere?
Kind of silly to argue with a liberal that stealing is wrong. They don't believe in property rights. They'll laugh at you.

Fly them to Texas and give them amnesty.
As long as they didn't steal it from Mother Gaea, or rape Mother Gaea for it, there's no harm, no foul in their ideology.
Good point.
Thanks G for the ping, but note:

Pretty amazing to think that there could be any undiscovered tribes.
