Uncontacted Indian tribe spotted in Brazil

RIO DE JANEIRO, Brazil (AP) — One of Brazil's last uncontacted Indian tribes has been spotted in the far western Amazon jungle near the Peruvian border, the National Indian Foundation said Thursday.

The Indians were sighted in an Ethno-Environmental Protected Area along the Envira River in flights over remote Acre state, said the government foundation, known as Funai.

Funai said it photographed "strong and healthy" warriors, six huts and a large planted area. But it was not known to which tribe they belonged, the group said.

"Four distinct isolated peoples exist in this region, whom we have accompanied for 20 years," Funai expert Jose Carlos Meirelles Junior said in a statement.

Funai does not make contact with the Indians and prevents invasions of their land, to ensure total autonomy for the isolated tribes, the foundation said.

Survival International said the Indians are in danger from illegal logging in Peru, which is driving uncontacted tribes over the border and could lead to conflict with the estimated 500 uncontacted Indians now living on the Brazilian side.

There are more than 100 uncontacted tribes worldwide, most of them in Brazil and Peru, the group said in a statement.

"These pictures are further evidence that uncontacted tribes really do exist," Survival director Stephen Corry said.

"The world needs to wake up to this, and ensure that their territory is protected in accordance with international law. Otherwise, they will soon be made extinct."

And here they are...

Wow.

Makes you realize how much of the world is still undiscovered.
 
They all definitely seem to notice the helicopter or whatever is taking the pictures.

They probably think it is some kind of dragon.
 
Why is there only one black one?

Yes. Or Quetzacoatl.
They looked like native Skittles.

They're painted red and black.
Link please?
Yeah, I didn't put a link because it's from the Associated Press and that's all there was. (I can see Proj posted some links though.)
