Aerial pictures revealed by the Brazilian government's agency of indigenous affairs (Funai) showed four large thatched huts fully surrounded by various crops in the Vale do Javari region.
Aloysio Guapindaia, a Funai director, also said they would work to keep the tribe isolated and safe. The tribe is thought to belong to the Pano linguistic group that straddles the border between Brazil, Peru and Bolivia.
Gabriel Elizondo reports from Sao Paulo in Brazil.

Let them be left alone. They fired arrows from their bows at the passerby airplane.
They were telling us that they want to be left alone.

I had an anthropology professor who discovered a tribe in Brazil that had no knowledge of anyone else. She was a six foot tall pale skinned red-head, walking amongst five foot tall brown skinned people who were VERY confused.
The sad part is they were forcibly relocated by the company that hired her. That was back in the 1990's. They probably live in a trailer park now, eating Cheetos and drinking beer while watching reality TV.
At first they thought she was a goddess- I bet they eventually thought she was a demon.

Leave them alone and tell the scientist to go to hell if they want to study them.
They have made it this far and my money is on them being here when most of us are gone. - 11 months ago

That is really cool, so lets just leave them all alone. All we will do is bring disease and heartache.

Maybe they know where the gold is. We should send people down there with vinerial diseases and blankets full of small pox. Take some chains and make them slaves and have them dig for gold and fight each other for food. Now that sounds like a christain good time.
Just kidding, I think that was already done. A few times.

Our history as humans is so sad. The way we have treated each other and history just keeps repeating over and over. Maybe we could get this one right and just leave them alone.

leave them alone... period. We ALWAYS fuck shit up and lose history when we mess with these cultures... They may continue to survive, or perish with the limited land they're able to maintain (due to our greedy hands)... When they do perish (it's only a matter of time sadly) we can study it... If there were a non-invasive way to document the language that would be great, but even when we CAN document the language, we still end up fumbling and losing it... It's best to just let it be... If they decide to come out and communicate, fine, but these tribes are fundamental in understanding how and why we became the way we are.

Agreed leave these poor people alone, they are probably perfectly happy the way things are and dont need "civilization" coming in and screwing it all up.
