Video: Uncontacted tribes


Over one hundred tribes around the world choose to reject contact with outsiders. They are the most vulnerable peoples on the planet.

Many of them are living on the run, fleeing invasions of their land by colonists, loggers, oil crews and cattle ranchers. They have often seen their friends and families die at the hands of outsiders, in unreported massacres or epidemics.

This is their story.





(The photo above is a recent fly over of a remote area between Brazil and Peru where the native people took up arms when they saw the planes flying over.)
