And already they’re complaining about the lighting…
This is an interesting story from The Times Online. In case you didn’t know, there are over 100 different non-contacted tribes in the world. What does that mean? They haven’t been touched by modern civilization in anyway, completely left to develop in their own isolated world.
One of the tribes just got snap-shotted though. Here’s the story:
Red-painted Indians from an unknown Amazon jungle tribe brandished bows and arrows as they were photographed from a passing helicopter.
Brazilian officials discovered the tribesmen earlier this month in Acre State, near the country’s border with Peru, on a trip designed to highlight the threat posed to remote peoples by deforestation.
One of the photographs they took showed two indigenous men in red trousers standing in a tiny clearing outside their huts, their bows aloft, while a third, far darker man stands watching, a white cloth tied around his waist.
In another photo, around a dozen Indians stand outside their huts, also preparing to fire arrows, while one woman appears to be standing just inside a doorway, a baby in her arms. Some of the Indians appear to be wearing headdresses.
For the full story, head on over to the Times Online.
And what does the trip look like? Well… here…
Are they shooting arrows at the helicopter? Way too make a great first impression.
