Uncontacted Brazilian Tribes


So it turns out there are a few places on this planet that haven't managed to be contacted by the wider world. I read this article when it came out and was talking to Angie about it so I decided to find it and post it. There was a flyover of this tribe but no attempts at communication were made- I think it has been decided to let those people live out their lives without us coming in and killing them off with our diseases or converting them to Christianity. Thankfully. We've made enough of a mess with indigenous peoples already without wiping out the few remaining tribes.
