Sadly they will all be infected with a killer bacteria if they allow outsiders in their vicinity.

But do you really think that they are lost, seems to me from the pictures I have seen that they appear to know exactly where they are.

Check out the movie, End of a Spear. Sort about the same thing.

There are still lots of undiscovered tribes in Issan

Bung · 01-06-2008, 09:32 PM

^ Yeah, just go to Riggers shed.

They should have just dropped a coke bottle out of that chopper

The Not-So-Lost Tribe

Even in an age when cynical sleuths can hyper-analyze stories for truth and accuracy, the occasional hoax still slips through the cracks. Such was the case with a so-called "lost Amazon tribe."
A few months ago, mainstream news outlets (including, ahem, Yahoo!) reported that a photographer had found a lost tribe of warriors near the Brazilian-Peruvian border. Photos of the tribe backed up his claim.
As it turns out, the story is only half true. The men in the photo are members of a tribe, but it certainly ain't "lost." In fact, as the photographer, José Carlos Meirelles, recently explained, authorities have known about this particular tribe since 1910. The photographer and the agency that released the pictures wanted to make it seem like they were members of a lost tribe in order to call attention to the dangers the logging industry may have on the group.
The photographer recently came clean, and news outlets, perhaps embarrassed at having been taken for a ride, have been slow to pick up the story. Now, the word is starting to spread and articles in the Buzz are picking up steam. Expect a lot more brutal truth in the coming days.

Excellent. Anything that can discredit the lying whores that run the media is good.

redfoot the fence · 24-06-2008, 05:22 PM

Bit of a scam but still qiute interesting.

sabang · 24-06-2008, 05:37 PM

I think the story pans out that they weren't a Lost tribe, but that they were an uncontacted tribe, i.e. kept isolated.

24-06-2008, 05:45 PM

I bet they have their own blog somewhere on the net.

Panda · 24-06-2008, 06:40 PM

Oh well, since they ain't a lost tribe I guess its OK to level the forest around them for wood chips to make our daily newspapers and toilet rolls.
Then if the dumb savages cant read and write I suppose its our obligation to employ then as servants and labourers for a $ day. Its the least we can do for them!

24-06-2008, 06:55 PM

^ I think 1$ per day is a bit much if they are illiterate.

sabang · 24-06-2008, 07:22 PM

I think I've seen a few on Adult Friend Finder.

dirtydog · 24-06-2008, 08:21 PM

What are you doing on adult friend finder? Just out of interest

The tribes might have customs which involve homicide given they live on a island with limited space and resources.

Completely unlike our own peace-loving tribes ... except for world wars 1 and 2, the sino-japanese war, the vietnam war, the falklands war, the gulf wars 1 and 2, etc, etc, etc ...
