  • oh looks like my village.just smaller

  • Those interested in this video and topic will surely find much to think about in my book, "The Unconquered: In Search of the Amazon's Last Uncontacted Tribes." Thanks, Scott Wallace

  • chingados pense que era musica de tribal =(

  • @markale12 Hahaha i thought it was Tribal music too xD

  • People have NO RIGHT to go near any isolated people. Loggers are nothing less than terrorists.

  • "He went back to have a look" "with a loaded gun"

  • i say if there shooting arrows at people for no reason just pick em off from the sky

  • Wow, who are these people and how can I join them?

  • EUROPEUS E AMERICANOS SÃO VIOLENTADORES DE INDIAS DO BRASIL [ FORA BANDIDOS]

  • Why is it that America is brought in to every single Nation Geo video?

  • Comment removed

  • @TheRaiznitch Americans are very stupid? that is the most ignorant thing i have ever heard we are so stupid but the number one country in the world hmm. DO you mean people in general are stupid? that makes more sense because i know dumb asses come from all over the world.

  • you cant discover what was already there....its more like an invasion then a discovery..its like if some one came into your room and was like "oh look i discovered this house and the people in it" then they give you only one room the smallest room to live in when it was your house to begin with but they "discovered it"...its what they did to the native americans that is the history version they never teach you in school..

  • leave them alone

  • is it right that i wanted to see this guy get attacked on camera

  • Has no one ever thought that maybe this people have the right to know whats happening out here? maybe they'd like technology and say "well f*ck that" and try to start a normal live and being paid by the government as the other contacted tribes for their heritage right? Or even if they don't just to let them know, and vaccinate them so that they're protected in case someone comes close to them

  • @Fandresvc no they should be left alone because the government here yeah pays the native americans but did you know they are some of the poorest people and their so called indian reservations are really bad land so they could never grow good crops they are even lower of the list or races then latinos its been studied and have little rights..go take a sociology class before you make your self look more ignorant...they are happy the way they are..they dont need to be f uped with again..

  • @girlygoth180 Before you make yourself look more ignorant know that i am Colombian, I've studied that stuff since I was a kid and know what i'm talking about, first of all indian tribes are bound to be poor in south america but we still take good care of them, second, they do not grow crops here, for they are nomadic. And if they're happy, they don't need to change their lifestyle, we just have to let them know how the world is, because they aren't animals, these are humans we're talking about.

  • @girlygoth180 Oh right, and I don't know why you mentioned latinos, but know that i am obviously latino and it was a bit insulting what you said, sounded somehow racist. Other than that, believe it or not I am taking my second year of sociology. Please when you reply to someone who hasn't done anything to you try not to attack them.

  • @Fandresvc stop fucking fighting

  • @boatshift 1, who the fuck are you? 2, don't you see we stopped fighting like 2 weeks ago?

  • @Fandresvc and exactly wtf is latino? you know latin was the language of the roman empire right? how in the fucking world is a mix of spanish with native american latin? you are a mut, latino somehow became a more acceptable term then white with indian, fuckin latino gtfo.

  • @GiggleHz you're a dumbass, latino is short for latinamerican, which they call everyone who comes from a country in america in which they speak a romantic language, fyi, that means a language that derives from latin. You must be one of those ugly american stereotypes that make the US look bad, so stfu.

  • @oringent- The reason for death would be their sudden exposure to germs that they are not immune to, therefore a simple cold can kill them.

  • what is the reason that two thirds of the tribe dies when making contact with the outside workd?

  • @oringent The reason for death would be their sudden exposure to germs that they are not immune to, therefore a simple cold can kill them.

  • give the village thats being attacked a shit load of M16s and hand grenades and they'lle be juuuuuust fiine :D

  • Give them beer

  • leave them alone

  • @80z90zhousemami76 sure they will.

  • u can kill them by spitting on them

  • he forgot to mention how he caught the arrows n then ran across on water and smacked them out using kung fu!!!!

  • lmao? the arrow can float becuz it made out of wood????

  • no it wasnt??

  • these people deserve respect and wonder. we should preserve their existence....and not only them but also our home '"the earth"

  • Desde que tuvieron contacto con el mundo occidental;entraron en proceso de extinción.Ahora nosotros debemos asumir responsablemente la protección de ellos y son los pocos seres humanos que viven en armonía con la naturaleza y de ellos aprenderemos.

    Since the tribes made contact with the occidentals, extinction started. Now it is us who should take responsibility and protect them.They are one of the few people who lilve in harmony with mother nature: we could learn from them!

  • i find it amazing that there are still people out there who are still have no modern technology

  • @Brandon0066 shit there are tribes in the rain forest who dont even know about the outside world. There are tribes we probably dont even know exist because they are deep into the jungle.

  • @Brandon0066 Most amazing people like you that believe that the only way to live is with modern technology.

  • @Brandon0066 at least they have motor boat :D

  • Amazing........

    The First Picture Was In The Dutch Newspaper: Metro

  • Funny how he goes back with a rifle and is quite fast paced lol

  • Just nuke em

  • i bet there standard of living his horrible...

  • maybe from your point of view

  • Pineapple Express- (chocks Shotgun) Thugg Lifeee!

  • wow

  • ...if they are unable to adapt they must go. That's also natural law. What have they done for us lately?

  • what have you done?

  • I work hard, bring up a family, pay my taxes, abide by the law...and you, you leftist libral scum? You sit in a coffee house on a borrowed laptop and read the help wanted adds depicted next to adult commercials. All of this while listening to alternative music, then you go home and tell your mother, whom you still live with that you have been looking for a job all day and couldn't find one, you sorry parasite of society. STFU!

  • Your bringing up a family is no justification for anything, in fact you just selfishly and mindlessly bring more conformists and consumers into this world.

    Your abusive language goes to show how simple minded you are.

    Good luck on the hamster wheel running to stay still all your life. All your achievements are to shuffle material items from one place to another and then you're dead.

    Thanks for those taxes though =]

  • ...no problem on the taxes. I hope they finace a B-2 Bomber and the nuke to get rid of these people. Be nice to the consumers and conformists, your future bosses. You will be working as a manual labor servant in one of their large homes...nothing more than a metal prostitute, because your time belongs to the system. You life will come and go from this earth, like a bad smell in an elevator. It will come and go, to the laughter of some and the disgust of most...but utterly forgotten in the end.

  • Wrong: art, humanism and politics are the answer where one can make a difference.

    Yes we are all tied into 'the system', but this does not mean we have to accept it, that we can't criticise it or even change it.. we can do all these things.

    Those that do nothing are like pebbles on a beach, passivley being pushed and pulled by outside forces and having true existance of their own. THAT is a meaningless life.

  • *I meant having no true existance btw. Typo =|

  • you sound so mature, your family is very lucky 2 have such a great contributor and a mature person :)

  • Quiet you baby boomer. :D After you get old and destroy healthcare because there are so many of you, no one age group will control the world.

  • lol

  • Sad

  • Lets just keep raping our mother. (the earth.)

  • Thanks for the kind sharing*

  • Thug Life.........

  • smoke weed every god damn day

  • If you don't want South America to exploit its own land for natural resources, maybe you should dig into your wallet and send them all your money.

  • lol its like gang wars

  • what 2/3rds die after contact?! why!? because we are carriers of disease? and those are some mighty arrows!

  • that's right. They are not immune, so most of them die.

  • you let me alone ,please

  • here let me post a comment that's a paragraph long

  • let her alone please that are people to

  • better leave them alone..we survive, they survive..in this thing called the circle of life..its just a mere balance of nature..if we keep away from them then they would do the same..its very naturall..we humans are territorial..its a very natural response..they think that they have been invaded...

  • better leave them alone...we survive, they survive in this thing called the circle of life...its just a mere balance of nature..if we keep away from them then they would do the same...its territorial..doesnt mean that we are more advanced than them..theyre still humans...

  • they dont choose to live naturally thats the way they have lived since they were put on this earth, They havnt been included in our civalization because they dont want the chance they see us as a threat, i agree that we shouldnt attack these people with the exception of self defense. Peru's government should map out via sattelite where these tribes are and make these reservations for the natives and make it so no one civilized can enter

  • leave em alone.

  • what the fuck is the matter with you?? what did they do to you. maybe someone should come to your home and demolish everything and make way for a greatest mall on earth you asshole.

  • for the greatest mall i the world, sure why not.

  • theres enough malls already, there's probably already a "greatest mall in the world". Theres almost no more civilizations such as this they're dying out they want to survive. And we're taking their land for granted for our needs. Who said and who has the right to say our civilization and way of life is better than theirs. They've been living there forever it seems that they dont want us there to hurt them more than we already have. Their land, Their people, Their society is almost gone..........

  • each time you post a comment your inteligence is exposed more and more. keep talking, please.

  • I love NatGeo

  • just leave them alone, they like it that way. we're doing a great job leaving them alone. and I bet they wouldn't fit in our society. they're not as brain smart as modern people are(making no offense at all).

  • they only believe that they should be left alone because it is what they think is right. Those tribal people have been living there for years and years it seems that theyve been doing fine. So what if they probably make human sacrifices thats their decision to do such a thing who said they were gonna kill you for it. They just do what they think is right and for self needs their home is being destroyed. Anyone could figure it out if they research the indians from the distance theyre at

  • Hmm... Yeah, you guys are probably right. Thanks!

    But it's just hard to convince me of their carefree life with some pictures...

  • that was an arrow... that looks more like a javelin..Lol

  • Looks like Peru is trying make itself into wasteland. Just another reason the USA should make industrial hemp legal. Hemp can replace all the uses of timber, oil, and natural gas. BTW leave the people alone. But I could see studying them could be interesting and correlate their activities to earlier man.

  • Some people are just so freaking nosy...

  • Genocide my ass.

  • We give em diseases n stuff that kill many of them... i guess some could call it genocide

  • They need to be left alone. So many tribes have lost their skills and culture. why should we choose their fate?

  • that is true

  • First off they need to be studied.

    I actually want to learn more about these kind of people

  • That's the trouble.

    2:00

  • yeah they should be left alone

    but somebody has to study them a little bit... then leave..

  • very interesting

  • that is some intense shi t

  • We can most definilty learn how to make machines that can not only control the atmosphere of the earth, but literally teraform a planet into a livable human-adaptable planet. Sorta like "spore", but more realistic. In reality, it may take a century (more) to do so.

    It's possible, many succeeded in such a design element.

  • They need to be studied.

  • Why? Who cares? If you study them like some experiment they die. But atleast we know that they're exactly like a human right? pffffff. jog on.

  • ZOMG that is why UFOs don't come down and talk to us!

  • That's what happened to the aboriginals, when the white people came many of them died of disease from Europe because their immune systems couldnt cope..

  • Were the Europeans dirty or something?

  • Primal tribes will be rendered obsolete as technologies advance. Don't get me wrong, but if modern technology never existed, where will the human race go when the sun blows up etc?

  • we'll be long gone by the time that happens...

  • That may be the case, but our ability to shape the environment to fit our survival needs is unprecedented. We are also the first known species on Earth to launch machines into space etc, so there is a chance our species will make it to into the future.

  • Not quite so, one might consider how government has been a thorn in such a progress into the future. Just look at current events.

  • You've got a point but I'd say if there's a common danger such a nuclear threat, different nations would probably pitch in for survival's sake.

  • * such as

  • I agree with him, they need to be left alone and let them be who they are and follow their traditions. If this had been done in the beginning, then we wouldn't have entire tribes wiped out now

  • hmmm.. conclusion........

    y.. start clear cutting them-out..or even, near and around them..... 1st off..

    peace/good will./harmony..... now.

    +.

  • We carry strong diseases developed by our agriculture that their immune systems have no way of fighting. The flu could kill most of them.

  • Leave them alone!!

  • wait why does 2/3 the population die???

  • disease

  • cool we should rape their lands and defile their women,

  • isnt it rape their women and defile their lands?

  • its from family guy when peter goes on a spiritual vision or something like that

  • at least they did'nt show any tribe members with a lakers hat on...

  • maybe this is how grays view us. and why they don't want to come into contact with mainstream mankind. it'd be a huge shock to us just as it would be for these li'l fellas in the amazon.

  • this is interesting they should be left alone if they dont want to be seen.

  • this got found out to be a hoax, but the general idea was to bring world-wide public attention to the plight of Amazonian natives x peace

  • They don't really need to live in tribes, but have you ever tried eating tree grubs alone? It's depressing to say the least.

  • I agree with what they said, isolated people should stay isolated and they are the ones that should make contact : /

  • agreed... so when they do it is suicide instead of genocide...

  • I always wondered why indigenous people, both in North and South America, were/are so defenseless against diseases that are common among whites, blacks and Asians but their diseases don't seem to affect our immune systems nearly as much. I've never heard of mass deaths among whites after they came in contact with Native Americans while the opposite happened time and again. And still does in the amazon. Weird.

  • Part of it is that we have many more diseases. They live in isolated areas and are exposed to a small number of diseases which they have resistances to, we live in a population where the diseases have spread across the entire globe, we have many more diseases to go around than they do, and some of the resistances we've built up also cover some of their diseases.

  • did anybody else have an advertisement for brazilian mail order brides lol

  • it sounds like they are considering them as animals and a rare species.

  • They should be left alone and not fired upon. They have a right to defend their land.

  • shit if i was just passin threw and somebody threw a big ass spear at me i would come and blow ur ass away.

  • He says Peru. Why would they be native Americans retard.

  • because, surprise surprise, peru is in south *AMERICA*.

  • This video is missing lots of relivent infomation.

  • Theres a reason they made guns affordable...

  • ew.. thats so sick.

  • KIlling the women and children is wrong you sick cunt, but killing the men, the white man will and probably wants to kill them already. He can't help himself.

  • where the fuck is the rest of this?

  • its airing june 27th. watch the WHOLE video man

  • ieght kill shit

  • i think we should just go in, evac the women and children then wipe the men out. fuck it.

  • who cares about the women and children?!!!

    fire bomb them too. if we didnt, the problem wouldnt be only be solved temporarily.

  • souther and 3873236, you both sound ignorant and are ignorant to indigenous life by the mind set of Eureason. Interestingly enough this same mindset of converting to christianity is the same mindset that your ancestors took in dealing with my ancestors. My ancestors did not worship tress, kwk... but they saw as we do the ALL IN EVERYTHING INVOLVING NATURE. Too bad you will never see it that way. For the most, your people need to stop infiltrating areas where they are not welcomed. lol

  • *smile* Love your response... I gave up trying to make souther see reason/logic... he's been brain-washed through his upraising into being the "Uber-Christian"... he does not understand what denotes actual PROOF.

    Anyone that would respond that "the proof is in the bible and scriptures" needs to learn what is entailed in scientific proof.

    I originally corrected his verbiage, but he took offense and called me a heathen.

    (So glad that's been resolved!)

  • Faith is faith, whatever way you swing it.

  • worshiping trees and suns are at the very least real, where your bible god is completely made up out of thin air. People like you should not speak to much, as it makes you look......well dumber than dog shit.

  • Doesn't matter if he can't prove your god doesn't  exist, you have to prove he DOES exist, you can't prove something doesn't exist.. so... bring it.

  • how is a collection of old stories proof of a supernatural being?

  • Proof?

    No you have your FAITH or your BELIEF... proof can be shown and demonstrated to others that do not share your view to help you aid in changing their opinion on the topic under discussion.

    Sorry... :-)

  • you just refuted yourself lol. if you're so deluded that you think the bible and scriptures are proof of god... you arent worth anybody's time.

  • i can prove it: In order for the scriptures to be proof of God (not god), the scriptures or the bible cant contradict itself, or say stupidities, or be wrong about scientific things, and the bible is all this. Yes the bible contradicts itself. if you dnt believe me look it up yourself. try using google.

  • The bible and scriptures are not credible evidence for proving the existence of god. They are just stories and nothing more. So if you can't provide any scientific evidence proving god exists, don't bother wasting anyone's time fool.

  • man wat is up with u ppl and all ur god doesnt excise crap its called faith and u dont have to have proof to belive in somthing well atleast for do belive in things other than the big bang and crap lik that ......check ur brain maybe thats the problem

  • i don't understand your comment. i think you didn't type in all the words you had in your head.

  • Check your punctuation, that definitely is a problem.

  • check your attitude im sure its not helping

  • BlackAceDouche05, Its quite clear you suffer from some serious brain damage and if any one needs to get their head checked its you.

  • agreed.

  • lol are u serious?! you have lots to learn child.

  • yes, i'm serious, dawg.

  • Yeah? But many other religions also have books and sculptures of their gods. What makes your imaginary god any more legitimate than their imaginary gods?

  • Such Tribes should be left alone in total isolation. Even if the Country Has to keep them Isolated By restricting the use of any land within miles of the village.

  • I think we should hand them nice and cozy blankets....

    ...infected with the common cold.

  • Such an angry, disconnected sort, think you are the center of righteousness, do ya? lol! How common!

  • Amazing that there is such a delicate existiance here of humanity's history that can be destroyed easily and can never ever be retrieved back. :(

  • cool

  • i think i read somewhere that this is a hoax

  • thats like spear not arrow

  • Look at the effects of logging on the Amazon in Google Earth, it's astounding and sad. The horror that has happened to the Peruvian indigenous people's recently is an example of what can happen in development. But, the white man has already destroyed our own pristine forest. Who are we to steal others?

  • "WAH WAAHHHHH!!!!

    The White man did this! The White man did that! WAAAHHH WAAAHHHH"

    Stop crying and blaming others for your problems.

  • Try to imagine a world without the 'White man'...not a pretty sight, is it?
