A tribe of Indians that lives in voluntary isolation in Perus southeastern Amazon has made a tense attempt at contact.
The president of the regional FENAMAD indigenous federation says more than 100 Mashco-Piro appeared across a river from the remote community of Monte Salvado in Madre de Dios state.
Klaus Quicque says they asked local Yine people for bananas, rope and machetes.
Newly available video that Quique says was shot by forest rangers over three days in June shows Mashco-Piro of all ages and sexes, including men with lances, bows and arrows.
Quicque said Monday there were tense moments but rangers persuaded the Mashco-Piro not to cross the river, directing them to a banana patch.
The Maschco-Piro first appeared in May 2011 after more than two decades in voluntary isolation.

Looks like they have “Open Carry”
What does being a Muslim have to do with any of this.
It tells me they aren’t all that remote nor distant from contact with modern civilization.
It looks like one of them stretchy things from Walmart that acts as a halter top or cheap azz cover up like one sees on the beaches of New Jersey, after a day of sunbathing and eating fried food.
Winnuh!!!!
LOL
I was watching this one which has several parts:

Stop me if youve heard this one. A tribe comes out of the jungle and asks for hoodies, Arizona watermellon drink, Skittles and Robitussin....
It appears to be her left leg crossed over her right knee and her skirt(?) tube-top(?) has simply ridden up or down as the case may be.
Ran out of golf balls.
Visits from all sorts of whild creatures to the suburbs happen with increasing frequency, as their natural habitats are encroached upon by development.
Likely civilization encroaching on the habitat of these indians is also forcing them out of it.
It’s her leg, she is sitting indian style.
Interesting but how many of the Papuans are still alive after meeting the European microbes?
Even more interesting hiw many Europeans lived after being introduced to syphillus and other viruses acquired from them.
The Black Plague might not have been an accident, eh? /s

I loved Larson's "Head Hunter" cartoon....
Brazils....EBT cards?
The black plague was apparently Asia’s gift to Europe.
Thought that was Yellow Fever? /S
“Im wondering what suddenly caused these primitives to make contact? Something must have happened to them.............”
They want broadband connections, ‘cuz watching YouTube on dialup is hell.
Look at the video. The article is about South American Indians. The video is obviously shot in Papua/New Guinea.
I used the obligatory “/s” and bad spelling... Whut’d I miss?
