Well… there goes another group of people who will die from Western diseases sometime soon. If previous encounters with similar groups by loggers are any indication, they might get some revenge first.

Diseases? The last group we knew of in Brazil died from bullets from illegal miners.

The most Western of diseases: lead poisoning.

I’m not sure gunpowder is the thing you wanna try and argue is a western invention

They never said it was, but it certainly is a Western disease at this point

Or, they’ll straight up murder them if they get in the way or resist. They don’t give a fuck about who or what lives there. They will extract the resources they want and move on to the next spot.

“Uncontacted”, in this instance, is more like “They’re talking to other indigenous folks in the vicinity once every couple of years and it is generally known that they want to be left alone so Peru doesn’t insist on issuing everyone ID cards and considers them sovereign regarding criminal law and stuff”.

They’re already resistant against the usual bugs and as far as illegal loggers, poachers etc. are concerned: Those don’t give a rat’s arse about whether a tribe wants to be left alone or not. Or whether whoever they come across is indigenous or not.

I wonder what’s their idea of the outside world.

And us? Are we also being observed by aliens and have no clue about it? Do they avoid a contact with us to keep us indigenous?

Yes

This is the best summary I could come up with:

Rare images of the Mashco Piro, an uncontacted Indigenous tribe in the remote Peruvian Amazon, have been released by Survival International, showing dozens of the people on the banks of a river close to where logging companies have concessions.

The reclusive tribe has been sighted coming out of the rainforest more frequently in recent weeks in search of food, apparently moving away from the growing presence of loggers, said the local Indigenous rights group Fenamad.

The Mashco Piro were photographed at the end of June on the banks of a river in the Madre de Dios region in south-east Peru near the border with Brazil, Survival International said as it released the photos.

“These incredible images show that a large number of isolated Mashco Piro live alone a few kilometers from where the loggers are about to start their operations,” said the Survival International director, Caroline Pearce.

The Mashco Piro, who inhabit an area located between two natural reserves in Madre de Dios, have seldom appeared as a rule and do not communicate much with the Yine or anyone, according to Survival International.

The Mashco Piro have also been sighted across the border in Brazil, said Rosa Padilha, at the Brazilian Catholic bishops’ Indigenous Missionary Council in the state of Acre.
