Uncontacted Indigenous Tribe Discovered in South American Jungle.

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 airplane, 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. Disease is also a risk, as members of tribal groups that have been contacted in the past have died of illnesses that they have no defense against, ranging from chicken pox to the common cold. It's bazaar to see that in the year 2008 there are still 100 tribes in existence uncontacted by the modern world. I think it's pretty great.
