I once saw a documentary on a group of scientists that visited an isolated tribe in Brasil. It turned out that most of the tribe ended up dead from the virual infections that the scientists brought with them. Of course scientists had been inoculated.

I saw the pictures this morning on Yahoo and wasn't sure about how I felt. For one, I think it's great that there are still uncivilized tribes in the world but also they looked so scared in those pics that I felt horrible. They had their bows and arrows ready to fire and were jumping up and down in fear. I wonder what they thought the helicopter was and how fair is it to do that to them just for the sake of taking a picture. But then again, maybe I'm just being too naive about the whole situation. =\

powwowsun, I think if you were to "join them" it looks like they'd soon be wearing your teeth on a necklace.

I don't get the sense they're looking for visitors.

I noticed they were all covered in red. I hope that's not someone's blood.

I just saw some footage on CNN and think it is bullshit. I have a feeling it is a hoax. Absolutely no contact? But then a helicopter just happens to fly by and there they are out in the open? Looked fake to me.
