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.
