i dont know the answer here, but there is something disturbing to me about keeping these people isolated. They aren't animals for cryin out loud. If i were in one of these tribes and saw brief glimpses of some incredibly advanced civilization, i'd want to know about it.

you hear me, aliens?

Who's keeping them 'isolated'?

Nobody's keeping them 'isolated'. They have chosen to live in the forest for, perhaps, thousands of years.
And do you really think they consider themselves 'isolated'? Their back garden is a fucking rainforest for Gods sake!

I would bet money that religious missionaries will be asking for directions to these tribes immediately. :rolleyes:

I sincerely hope that American missionaries keep their arrogant, ignorant, and diseased fucking hands off these people.
They've already caused enough genocide - both physical and cultural - in that part of the world.

If you need any proof just check out Norman Lewis' book 'The Missionaries'.

I'm with you, but fear they won't be able to resist fresh blood.

Turns out these guys were not really a tribe but they were part of a movie shoot. Pretty strange.

A phrase using the term "savage" is surprising to you...that its biased and outdated?

I think that is the point. The term savage in relation to aboriginals is an inaccurate and outdated term as is the idea of the "noble savage" in that the FN were these noble and peaceful people which has been proven false long ago.

Man has always had some form of adversarial or antagonistic relationships, within the tribe, and with other tribes, and with the larger forces of nature. Further, the notion that the primitive man was some how at peace or one with himself and in a state of relative bliss is an unproven and likely naive notion.

True. But then it's also true that these people probably possess knowledge about the natural environment and about the human spirit - shamanistic knowledge - that is far superior/practical than our paltry materialistic rat-race mentality. Shame that they'll probably all be dead from disease or bullets before we ever get a chance to find out.
Let's just hope that they do remain protected in their 'isolation'.

The pictures are amazing, though. Hopefully they'll be left alone to keep doing what they're doing.

Leave them alone?!!

Shouldn't we attack them with forced, government-sponsored education and healthcare??

After all, those are the main planks that our politicians run on. Why is OK to force those things on Americans, but not a tribe in Peru?

poor mexicans

Probably not, but that won't exempt other people who've had the opportunity to know better.

Pretty pathetic comment, BTW...

He's making a joke. You may not find it funny. Some do, myself included. If the OP was revealed to be Carlos Mencia the rest of you would be laughing too because then it would be "ok".

Because they are not american?

So we should treat people who aren't American differently?

That's fairly racist don't you think (or at least very nationalistic).

You shouldn't 'treat' them at all, but just leave them alone. Although I know how hard that is to do for many Americans.

LikeAnOpeningBandForTheSun

would walking in and saying hi constitute forcing our ways on them? kinda ridiculous.

Its pointless anyway. Their are billions of us and there will be billions more in a few decades. If they dont build up some immunities soon (by interacting with us less shamanistic types), they are doomed to extinction. Animals survive by changing with the environment, not retreating into smaller and smaller areas that dont change.

I agree. The government should leave everyone alone and let people be poor, uneducated, have no healthcare, etc. if that is what they choose.

These people live in the Amazon rainforest. They have nothing to do with your government.
Perhaps you need to begin a different thread re: The U.S government's domestic policies?

I think you misunderstood me. I just said that because you mentioned govt sponsored healthcare and education for americans but their government is in Brazil not the states!

Personally I think they should be left alone to live their lives their way. I expect they've known about the outside world to some extent for ages but what they mostly see is the destruction of their land and homes. Why should they want to be part of this world anyway?

I'm trying to look at things from a wider perspective. Perhaps others in the thread might recognize the correlation.
