Uncontacted Tribe Photographed Near Brazil-Peru Border
‘We did the overflight to show their houses, to show they are there, to show they exist,’ said uncontacted tribes expert Jose Carlos dos Reis Meirelles Junior. Meirelles works for FUNAI, the Brazilian government’s Indian affairs department. Logging is driving uncontacted tribes over the border and could lead to conflict with the estimated five hundred uncontacted Indians already living on the Brazilian side.
