- mattxb, on 10/11/2007, -3/+220I've got an idea, lets leave them alone.
- stealth45, on 10/11/2007, -30/+242They'll be alright until white people show up..
- shlolz, on 10/11/2007, -7/+174The real question is: do they have any oil?
- capiCrimm, on 10/11/2007, -14/+151hey, we only want their gold, land, and food. I mean beyond on that they can keep everything -- wait, no. Were actually going to have to convert them to Catholicism as well. Normally I'd let it slide, but it's not that ofter you get pure-breed heathens like this. They're quite a delicacy.
- inactive, on 10/30/2007, -3/+106You wonder if they know how to have sex? That's probably one of the stupidest things I've ever heard.
- Obsession88, on 10/11/2007, -2/+100
You REALLY can find everything on Amazon. Wait, you mean it's a place too!? - afx1, on 10/11/2007, -11/+87naked boobie pics or it didnt happen
- galacticdoom, on 10/11/2007, -4/+74"Uncontacted tribes are usually discovered when loggers and ranchers encroach on their territories."
Yay for deforestation!
Think there is any oil in that jungle? ***** - lets invade. - xxTazxx, on 10/11/2007, -3/+70Just keep the cola away from them...after that it all goes downhill...
- DCB360, on 04/11/2008, -8/+74Give em' a coke and a hot dog.
Let's Americanize them. Yeehaw! - protossss, on 10/11/2007, -2/+63Some coordinates for Google Earth would be aweeeeesome...
- inactive, on 10/11/2007, -19/+78Send them Paris and Nicole... FOX could film The Simple Life 6 at the same time
- Battleloser, on 10/11/2007, -1/+60All jokes aside... The real REAL question is whether or not to make formal contact, to attempt communication, to teach them, and all that jazz. Or do we take this opportunity to study modern man in a natural enviroment?
Is it right to destroy the last natural civilization on Earth because of or moral standards for treating others?
Whatever happens, someone better think this through. - Walker2323, on 10/11/2007, -2/+61This will not end well for them.
- ShBm, on 10/11/2007, -4/+58They're already *****.
- wunderdog, on 10/11/2007, -1/+46Give them a Coke? Sure! Just don't leave the bottle. You know what trouble that can cause.
- inactive, on 10/11/2007, -5/+41I think he meant the kind he knows about, found primarily in porn.
- Vazelos, on 10/11/2007, -6/+40I recon someone should contact them, hand out OLPCs with satellite internet access with digg.com as the default homepage.
- Bolko, on 10/11/2007, -3/+35I bet you a million bucks Dell is currently exploring outsourcing their phone support to these people.
- Jware, on 10/11/2007, -2/+33They'll be fine, because they LIVE ON AN INDIAN RESERVATION. Anthropologists don't even plan to make contact.
Read the article. - sonaro, on 10/11/2007, -1/+32In elementary school, I used to wonder how cavemen knew to have sex to reproduce, but then I hit puberty and it was like I was neo seeing the matrix for the first time.
I'm pretty sure you know where this is going in regards to thepumer. - inactive, on 10/11/2007, -6/+32and now, they're screwed.
- rianDOTca, on 10/11/2007, -1/+25They were probably coming out to audition for Apocalypto II.
- PaulOwen, on 10/11/2007, -3/+27@thepumer
You get all my stupid points this year. You lose at internet. - Azap, on 10/11/2007, -15/+37the real question is do they have or possibly have any thing we can say threatens us so we can take the oil they might have?
- emjaymj, on 10/11/2007, -4/+26@battleloser
Your usage of the phrase "natural civilization" is curious. At what point does a civilization become unnatural? Why would we be considered to be on the other side of this imaginary line? - inactive, on 10/11/2007, -7/+27I want to load them up on acid and mushrooms and put them in the middle of the strip in Vegas.
Talk about having your mind blown. They've probably never seen a car or a lightbulb, they'll think they're on a different planet. - inactive, on 10/11/2007, -1/+20@mishabear:
They probably already have the Paris Hilton videos. - dBass, on 10/11/2007, -2/+20"Uncontacted Indian tribe found in Brazil's Amazon"
And, all native people are still "Indians", right? Just checking. - Walker2323, on 10/11/2007, -1/+19Digg is NO place for earnest commentary!
- Battleloser, on 10/11/2007, -4/+21@emjaymj
I couldn't tell you where the line is, that's a whole different discussion, but when we have to shape our entire environment to fit our need to live, eat, and move, we've crossed the line.
A culture that can live in harmony with nature is a culture we can learn from. - tony134340, on 10/11/2007, -0/+17"Untouched by modern civilization? Cool, let's go touch it and see what happens."
^...the downfall of civilization. - samadam, on 10/11/2007, -2/+18@ruley: RTFA. They say they weren't found because they are far from rivers.
To the original poster: they _are_ in a rain forest. I am sure there is plenty of rain they can collect and be fine. - MicrosoftBob, on 10/11/2007, -0/+15You might want to try the [reply] feature next time. Makes it easier for us "stupid" and "uncaring" digg users to follow the comments.
- inactive, on 10/11/2007, -3/+18Interesting, I hear constantly how Man is ruining the world, yet we know so little.
We find new species of animals everyday and now we find an actual race of people we never knew of.
Makes me think we're not nearly as smart as we arrogantly think.
As far as the people;
I'd leave it to them. If they want to know the world, lets teach them.
If they want to be left alone, leave them alone.
For us to decide for them is a sickening ostentatious display and is just flat not right.
No one has the right to make choices for another. - Walker2323, on 10/11/2007, -4/+19Dude, chiiiiiiiillllllll........
- mishabear, on 10/11/2007, -9/+23Don't forget the Paris Hilton videos!
- MicrosoftBob, on 10/11/2007, -3/+16Dugg up for being good poetry.
- pogfreak, on 10/11/2007, -1/+14stories like this really bring out the pretentious douche bags
- DarthMalcontent, on 10/11/2007, -1/+14Great, then their first exposure to the modern world could be a bunch of internet memes.
--I m in ur jungle contactin ur Indianz
--In Soviet Russia, Indians contact you.
--Uncontacted Indian tribes FTW!
--I for one welcome our uncontacted Indian overlords
Won't they be happy to meet us? - fadeout, on 10/11/2007, -9/+22These stories are pretty misleading, it's not like they're living unmolested without knowledge of white people. They're inevitably using traded iron tools and whatever other machine manufactured goods they could get their hands on. They just lack formal contact with the government and NGO's.
- idonthack, on 10/11/2007, -2/+14BTW, it's "reckon".
"Recon" is short for "reconnaissance". - Justinsb, on 10/11/2007, -7/+18Interestingly they had already developed the cell phone on their own - they were discovered because they called the logging company and asked them to back the f*** off.
- iamjaredc, on 10/11/2007, -1/+11Okay, so we learn in school that Columbus thought he was in India, so they called the people here "Indians."
But like, an hour later, didn't they realize they weren't in India?
These people in Brazil, they're not Indians. They're natives, or more appropriately, "Metyktire". Ugh. - tuxidomasx, on 10/11/2007, -0/+10FTA: "Moura said anthropologists no longer attempt to contact those groups, but instead demarcate the land and wait for them to make contact."
i'm happy to hear that. it would certainly seem kinda wrong if others just barged in there all willy nilly. - MicrosoftBob, on 10/11/2007, -3/+13turpoid: The Life of the Party Wherever He Goes.
- AndrewMayne, on 10/11/2007, -0/+10That closing line of the article is the spookiest part, '...wait for them to make contact." Kind of a whole alien prime directive thing.
If I'm missing out on some super-advanced Wii-iPhone-Pron-Future concept thingy, please make contact now. I'm getting bored down here. Pull me out of this jungle. - emjaymj, on 10/11/2007, -4/+14Exactly. Beavers for instance cut down trees and dam up bodies of water to just to make a shelter. Are they unnatural?
- inactive, on 10/11/2007, -0/+9If I found them, I'd pretend to be a God. They'd worship and cherish me. I'd probably impregnate their women and start a new super-race.
- theone3, on 10/11/2007, -3/+12Take a joke much? You sure get worked up over stuff you can't impact. Whether you like it or not it's too late to fly over there and stop it. Deal with it.
