The recent typeface of an indigenous tribe making striking with the outside man is part to look a lot like so many before , with reports the folk is fleeing a massacre by drug traffickers or lumberman .
Thefirst reportsof liaison initiate fears from organizations likeSurvival Internationalthat the contact was unlikely to be rightfully voluntary , as well as the peril of infectious disease run rearing through a universe with no immunity .
The latter has already turned out to be well founded , with seven member of the new tribe treated for flu , although so far treatment seems to have been successful . Now that the people have had a fortune to tell their story it is cleared that the interactions with a neighboring tribe and aesculapian workers travel along invasion of their territory in the form of ruthless killings for approach to products in global requirement .
FUNAI , Brazil ’s Indigenous Affairs Department , has released a video cartridge clip of positive interaction , between the previously uncontacted universe and the Ashaninka , the neighboring tribe with whom they made contact .
However , interpreter Ze Correia aver those make contact are young because , “ The majority of sure-enough people were mow down by non - Indians in Peru , who shoot at them with firearms and coiffe fire to the houses of the uncontacted . They say that many old people die and that they buried three hoi polloi in one grave accent . They say that so many citizenry died that they could n’t inter them all and their remains were eaten by vulture . ”
The tribe lives near the Brazil / Peru border . While violence against native Americans is a serious job on the Brazilian side , the bequest of civil warfare , corruption and impassivity makes the risk much unfit on the Peruvian side . Most of the Peruvian Amazon rain forest is leased to oil and flatulence companieshttp://www.survivalinternational.org/about/camisea , and the base they have build do it comfortable for loggers and drug growers to get at the soil of uncontacted tribes , with frequently fateful results .
Survival International , an international tribal peoples human rights group has establish a petition to the government of Brazil and Peru toprotect the landsof the newly contacted peoples . Those looking for other way to stop the killing might consider the part of the wealthy word in consuming forest and cocaine that may be source from their lands , and petroleum product that definitely are .
