Stone Age Indian Tribes in Amazon.

Post by Minimalist »

http://www.nytimes.com/2007/01/18/world ... ner=EXCITE
Far more Indian groups than previously thought are surviving in Brazil’s Amazon rain forest isolated from the outside world, but they risk destruction at the hands of encroaching loggers and miners, experts said Wednesday.
Now this is what I call a confirmed bachelor!
Envoys from the National Indian Foundation have for years tried to contact a man in Rondonia, a state in the southwestern Amazon forest, because he is believed to be the last survivor of his tribe.

They tried to introduce him to an Indian woman to procreate. But the Hole Indian, as he is called because he lives on branches over a hole, shot arrows at them, sending the potential bride running.
Something is wrong here. War, disease, death, destruction, hunger, filth, poverty, torture, crime, corruption, and the Ice Capades. Something is definitely wrong. This is not good work. If this is the best God can do, I am not impressed.

This week the federal police and the government’s environmental protection agency are to remove hundreds of illegal settlers who invaded the Uru Eu Wau Wau indigenous territory in Rondonia, where uncontacted groups live.

“If we don’t expel the invaders now, those Indians won’t survive,” said Rogério Vargas Motta, an environmentalist.
I imagine that these isolated groups are still highly susceptible to our viruses.

Who knows, I guess it's possible that these Natives are aware that the white man brings death by disease.

It's been five centuries.....one would think that the survivors would have made the connection by now!
