Uncontacted Tribe Found

If I understood the article properly, it looked to me like the "do-gooders" are wanting pretty much what you say you do. They were photographing them to remind us that there are still these people out there, and we are potentially ruining their lives. I didn't see any "hey their lives suck lets help them" I saw "they should be able to continue living as they have and not cut down the place they live" Do you think the loggers would hesitate to kill these people if they tried to stop them from logging?

I feel that we should definately just leave them alone. If we want to help than talk to the loggers, don't interfer with their way of life. The last time we tried to "help" a tribe we almost wiped all of them out. Just leave them alone and let them live their own way. We need to stop interfering in everything.

After reading the article, my thoughts are that we should just leave them alone. They obviously are doing fine and thriving with their lifestyle. Who are we to bother then? there doesn't seem to be any indication that they need our help. I say leave them be and stop anyone who would interfere.

At this time, it is almost like impossible for any man or community to be untouched or uncontacted by other humans. How can they remain there without being known? I think it is a hoax.

Ah, some people like to think for others as if they know what best for them. If they do really know what is best for them, they should leave the tribe alone and leave a card for them to contact if they do need help.

I would say leave them alone. If they have been uncontacted for this long and are thriving why mess with them? What do we have to offer but our technology which they clearly can live without. The first thing that would no doubt be gifted to them through contact is disease. Perhaps they have already taught us an important lesson many have overlooked, keep you nose out of others affairs.

As an indigenous tribe of my country, we are faced with the fear of going extinct. There are not many of my tribes left as many have migrated and absorbed other cultures and religions through inter marriages. Politically and economically we are lagging far behind but we are not crying for attention from any international groups as we are still capable of maintaining our rich culture and are self sustaining. We are supposed to be equal citizens of this planet. And equality work both ways - everybody, no matter what status they have in this world, has to be respectful of one another and everybody needs to live in a free and unpressured environment. The problem of any indigenous tribe is their problem and theirs to solve. Outside groups have no business to interfere.

leave them alone. the tribe has survived this long and they will probably pull through.

I doubt the tribe is really "uncontacted". I say that because of the clothing the man is wearing. The head cover looks "modern". But let's say they are... I'm not for sending in a team of cultural anthropologists and/or other social/hard scientists to study the folks or to determine if they've been contacted before. We generally try and take great care in protecting threatened and endangered species and their habitat. Seems to me we could do the same for these folks...protect their habitat and let them thrive. I may fly over the tribe every ten years to see if they're okay, but I'd let them be...

They should be totally left alone! They have manged to survive nicely on their own for hundreds of years so why poke your nise into their affairs now! As they managed to stay away from extinction all these years, they can very well do so for the next hundreds of years unless we turn them into so-called civilised people who destroy the very nature that nurtures them!

I totally agree although it is good that they found a tribe dating back from so many decades ago. They should not be seeking to medal in those people's affairs. That tribe should not be made to feel as though their privacy and the way of life as they know it is being encroached upon by those of the outside world
