Uncontacted Tribe in Brazilian Jungle
Found on Wired on Friday, 04 February 2011
Video of an uncontacted tribe spotted in the Brazilian jungle has been released, bringing them to life in ways that photographs alone cannot.
Brazilian government policy is now to watch from afar, and - at least in principle - to protect uncontacted tribes from intrusion.
Unfortunately, uncontacted tribes usually live in resource-rich areas threatened by logging, mining and other development. There's often pressure on governments to turn a blind eye.
That reminds one of "Star Trek: Insurrection". However, there will be no happy ending.
