Amazon tribe makes 'first contact' with outside world



Brazil's National Indian Foundation shows isolated indigenous people coming forward for outside assistance after fleeing attacks in Peru. The people, whose language is recognised as part of the Pano linguistic group, reportedly crossed the border after coming under pressure from illegal logging and drug trafficking at home.


An Amazon tribe, uncontacted by the outside world until now, has traveled away from their isolated home to make contact with modern civilization.  

Native people of the Amazon have lived in the area for hundreds or thousands of years without making contact with the modern world. This group lived in Peru, and they traveled over the border into Brazil during their journey to meet the outside world.
