Amazon Tribe Makes Touching Contact With Outside World FIRST TIME
- 8 years ago
Video has emerged of a group of uncontacted Indians emerging from the Amazon jungle and making first contact with the outside world, crossing a river to meet members of the settled Ashaninka community after entering Brazil from Peru. They reported a massacre of their community in which men with guns set fire to their homes and killed many of their elders.

In mid-2013, villagers living in a remote community in the Madre de Dios region were surprised by a visit from a group of 'Uncontacted' Indians (Peoples Living in Voluntary Isolation) called the Mascho Piro. This remarkable footage taken by a community member captures a rare glimpse of humans who live a nomadic life deep in the jungle, secret and hidden from the outside world, and sheltered from modern day civilized influence. It is difficult to know for sure, but many anthropologists believe these people do not know much, if anything at all of the the lifestyles and possessions the rest of us have--cars, electricity, TV, packaged food, the wheel, computers? Are these some of the last remaining free peoples on Earth?
ARCA (Amazon Research and Conservation Alliance) believes that it is of utmost importance to protect their lands so that they may continue to live the life they have chosen; a life of our ancestors. We must not let outsiders near them. We must protect their home from being damaged and destroyed. Help buffer and protect their lands.
