The comments...

It's sad to see there are numerous people in the comments on that article who appear to be suggesting in all seriousness that the tribe should be introduced to modern civilisation, technology and all that entails. At least there have been a few in amongst the 'leave them alone' set that point out the eminently sensible biological reasons for non-contact - introducing them to non-native pathogens the tibe members will have no immunity to and which could quickly prove fatal.

Oh, and needless to say, the tribe they've found are one of about a hundred in the region - this particular one appears to have significantly different customs and practices to the fictional one featured in Heather's story.


As the right side of the brain controls the left side of the body, then only left-handers are in their right mind!

What's truly sad is that

What's truly sad is that there will probably be some holier-than-thou "well meaning" christian missionary showing up there as soon as they can sneak past the anthropologists.


I'll get a life when it's proven and substantiated to be better than what I'm currently experiencing.

Very cool! Wrong language

Very cool!

Wrong language group and in a slightly different region of the Amazon but very fricking cool!

Now if only some of those nimrods would get their heads out of their fourth point of contact and leave the poor tribe alone. They don't need intruders. FUNCI or the Peruvian equivalent should be the ones to contact them with a team of Anthropologists in tow. Sending in Missionaries is going to result in dead Missionaries.

We are the change that will save the world.

Wait? Aren't you a Mormon?

Wait? Aren't you a Mormon? If so, aren't you supposed to believe that the only thing to do is quickly surround them with boys in white shirts on bicycles?

*gigglefits*

The only time I laughed harder than I did just now was when my Mom's dog got extremely excited about something and literally went at it with her (the dog's) bed. Knocked a cushion clear off, then laid half on the remaining cushion, and half on the uncovered portion. She was extremely uncomfortable, but she laid that way nonetheless. Between giggles I managed to say to my Mom: "She's made her bed and now she's going to lie in it." before breaking down to the point of having a hard time remembering to breath. Not to mention the laughter tears.

Anyways...

Nah, we know better than to send OUR white shirt boys to places where they'll get killed just for being there. Instead we send food and medical aid. ... Which would still be a bad idea with an isolated tribe such as this, and I highly doubt we'd be so stupid as to try anything at all with them. But then again, we aren't perfect, and neither is our leadership, and we HAVE made plenty of egregious mistakes, and have gotten called on it every single time.

No, most likely the only church stupid enough to insist on accidentally killing those poor tribesmen (and women) will be the Catholics, maybe a few protestant sects. Hmm... actually, I could definitely see some of the Baptist sects being that stupid. And of course, the JW's and Scientologists don't need any excuse at all, they'd send their salesmen to try talking a rock into joining.

All in the name of saving their souls. Idiots. Well, except for the JW's and Scientologists. I don't think the latter even recognizes the existence of a soul, and the former insist only a select few are going to be saved anyways.

But anyhoo, I was kidding around, we don't really need missionaries dying of any sect, even those annoying arse JW's.

Even better

Extravagance's picture

than a dead missionary, is a dying missionary who tells you where to find their leaders. :)
