Uncontacted tribe found living in Amazon rainforest
Three large clearings in the area had been identified by satellite, but the population’s existence was only verified after airplane expeditions gathered more data, the National Indian Foundation said.
The government agency, known by its Portuguese acronym FUNAI, uses airplanes to avoid disrupting isolated groups. Brazil has a policy of not contacting such tribes, but rather working to prevent the invasion of their land to preserve their autonomy.
