The Brazilian government has discovered a new tribe in the Amazon. It is just over 700 miles away from Manaus, Brazil. The land they are settled on is a reserve roughly the size of Ireland, but this reserve contains fourteen other tribes. The new tribe is possibly a branch of the korubo tribe. The last time we have ever contacted with the korubo was in October of 1996 and here is a video of them.
It is very rare to contact these tribes due to the Brazilian Policy. The policy doesn’t want other people to communicate with the tribes partly because they don’t want us to disrupt their natural habitat. Another reason is the Brazilian government doesn’t want us to give them diseases they are not immune to yet. We try not to disturb them to keep their population grow. Brazil is constantly watching over them so no one tries to take their land such as ranchers or loggers. “There is massive logging on the Peru side of the Border, and unfortunately the Peru side of this border is a no-man’s land and everything is permitted,” Meirelles. The government refuses to give GPS coordinates because they are scared someone would want to find them. As you can see the government is very protective of these tribes. I think this is very smart. Let these tribes be who they want to be, if they wish to be not bothered, then so be it.
