One of South America's few remaining uncontacted indigenous tribes has been spotted and photographed on the border between Brazil and Peru.



The Brazilian government says it took the images to prove the tribe exists and help protect its land.
The pictures, taken from an aeroplane, show red-painted tribe members brandishing bows and arrows.
More than half the world's 100 uncontacted tribes live in Brazil or Peru, Survival International says.
Stephen Corry, the director of the group - which supports tribal people around the world - said such tribes would "soon be made extinct" if their land was not protected.

Dont tell Angelina Jolie. She's probably drawing the adoption papers up right now.

Wow, that's awesome! I enjoy articles such as these. Hopefully (doubt it though) people will recognize this and take a stand in protecting their land, their home. Why must we as a people keep destroying such civilizations and nature in the name of greed?

Ok... I'm beginning to sound all hippie like.

I hope that tribes like these remain isolated because that way they will not have intruders come in and try to "change" them. Just leave them alone and let them do their everyday stuff, because many tribal cultures, customs, and traditions are lost when outsiders try to study the tribes and then more and more outsiders step in.
