From here:

Quote:

(CNN) -- A city official in the remote Brazilian Amazon village of Envira told CNN that five members of the Kulina tribe are on the run after being accused of murdering, butchering and eating a farmer in a ritual act of cannibalism.

The village's chief of staff, Maronilton da Silva Clementino, said Kulina tribesmen took the life of Ocelio Alves de Carvalho, 19, last week on the outskirts of Envira, which is in the far western part of Brazil that bumps up against Peru.

Portal Amazonia newspaper reported that the Indians escaped after being held for a few hours in the city's police station.
...
According to FUNAI, about 2,500 Kulina live in Brazil's Acre state, which borders with Peru, where 450 Kulina live. This remote jungle corridor is known for its isolated tribes.

The Kulina are classified as an "isolated" tribe but some have contact with the non-indian population.

The Kulina are also known for their complex language. FUNAI studies show that Kulina women speak a completely different language from the men.
...

Things are the same all over.

Aptly named - or is our word culinary derived from the Indian tribe's name?

Dude, they have motorcycles? Oh wait. Commercial.

Seriously, why can't we leave those people alone? I'm sure I bitched about it in here somewhere.

They had to get footage in order to persuade the logging companies that they existed and needed to be left alone. That's what I understood from the story anyway.

Sorry, I didn't read it. I was just being a smartass.

They are really interesting. I was thinking as I luxuriated (is that a word?) in my bath, that maybe I should go live with them. Wouldn't I be an oddity. Then I thought about what they must eat and stuff, and all the spiders.

They obviously saw the plane. Is that considered contact? Do they now worship the giant noisy bird god who doesn't need to flap his wings?

No.. They're in their huts starving to death as they cower from the angry dragon.

I think we make a lot of assumptions about uncontacted indigenous people. It's not the episode of Gilligan's Island where the native guy runs amok and Wrong Way Feldman crashes into them.

They probably don't just worship EVERYTHING.

Peru: alarm over appearance of isolated Mashco-Piro tribe

Authorities perplexed as more than 100 members of clan that has almost no contact with outsiders threaten to cross river

Quote:

Members of an indigenous tribe that has long lived in voluntary isolation in Peru's south-eastern Amazon have attempted to make contact with outsiders for a second time since 2011, leading to a tense standoff at a river hamlet.

Authorities are unsure what provoked the three-day encounter but say the Mashco-Piro may be upset by illegal logging in their territory as well as drug smugglers who pass through. Oil and gas exploration also affects the region.

More than 100 members of the Mashco-Piro clan appeared across the Las Piedras river from the remote community of Monte Salvado in the Tambopata region of Madre de Dios state from 24 June said Klaus Quicque, president of the regional Fenamad indigenous federation.

They asked for bananas, rope and machetes from the local Yine people but were dissuaded from crossing the river by Fenamad rangers posted at the settlement, said Quicque, who directed them to a banana patch on their side of the river.
