The Unknown People

Uncontacted Amazon Tribe: First ever aerial footage from Survival International on Vimeo.

In this video it shows a tribe in the Amazon that has never been found before. My environmental science teacher showed us this video because another teacher sent it to her. She didn't go into much detail other than they have been recently discovered so I watched it on my own and thought it was pretty interesting. They want to use this land in the Amazon for the timber and for farming. These people have never seen others that aren't like them. It is wrong for us to be invading on their territory that they have been living on for quite some time. The selfish reasons to go in their and kick them out isn't good enough to get rid of them like that. These people obviously have never seen an airplane let alone know what a cell phone is. I personally think that we should leave them alone and let them find out that there is a real world out there. It is kind of weird to think that these people don't know that there are more people out in the world because we have developed some much as people. You could tell that these people were scared of the airplane because they had only men out and they were holding their weapons. I hope that these people don't loose their land and everything turns out for the best for them.
