This is truly a fascinating story...Isolated Amazon tribe captured in remarkable drone footage

https://uk.news.yahoo.com/isolated-amazon-tribe-captured-remarkable-drone-footage-091523309.html?guccounter=1

Incredible video footage has provided a rare glimpse of an isolated tribe in Brazil’s Amazon.

The footage shows 16 people walking through the jungle, as well as a deforested area with a crop.

In the clip, one of the tribespeople appears to be carrying a bow and arrow.

The agency has been studying the community in the images for years, but this was the first time they have been caught on camera.

Wallace Bastos, Funai’s president, said: “These images have the power to make society and the government reflect on the importance of protecting these groups.”

Brazil’s agency for indigenous affairs, Funai, said it captured the drone shots during an expedition last year to monitor isolated communities, but only released them now to protect their study.

Researchers monitored the tribe in Vale do Javari, an indigenous territory in the south-western part of the state of Amazonas.

There are 11 confirmed isolated groups in the area – more than anywhere else in Brazil.

Bruno Pereira, who coordinates Funai’s study of isolated groups in the region, said these documentations also help researchers study their culture. The agency has not yet been able to identify the name of the tribe, though it has guesses about its ethnicity and what language it speaks.

“The more we know about isolated communities’ way of living, the more equipped we are to protect them,” he said.

They fly home made arrows. Which is more fun than drones...

Did you see that axe? It’s a stone axe, not even bronze...

Yes, it was quite the discovery.

But is this an invasion of their privacy?

Not really a question, but a profound understanding of them..

As they are there not by chance, but by choice. Surviving just fine....

"My drone was shot out of the sky with an arrow"

It would be too embarrassing to proclaim, publicly. Ungentlemanly like, even. Haha

I wouldn’t waste a $20 Easton FMJ arrow, on a drone shot. But that’s just my archery equipment...

Pushing closer to $40 with a prized, razor shaving sharp, broad head aboard...

I know you mean well, but it’s actually quite a serious situation
They do not wish to be bothered.

Thanks . . .

My previous post was just joking around because I think we should not bother them at all. I understand they get angry and annoyed.  We should leave them live in peace like they have been doing for thousands of years.

Reminds me of a Rolling Stones song lyrics.

“I gave you diamonds and you give me disease...”
