Uncontacted Indians on Manu River, Peru

[forgottenmemories63]

Hey guys ! Look what we got :o

Show them a Cell phone :)

They will probbaly grab it and go place it in their altar, worship it and dance around it Lol

[jungleman08]

Read Scott Wallace's book "The Unconquered," the authoritative book on uncontacted tribes. It's a great page-turner as well as incredibly rich with information. Indispensable for understanding all the issues surrounding uncontacted tribes: how and why they eluded contact with the outside world, what is being done to protect them. A must read for anyone interested in this topic.

[TimeToDwell]

@jungleman08 no we wont you fuck! why should we let this money whore profit from exploiting a people that wish to be left alone. go suck his dick if you love him that much you piece of shit pig.

[ROONTANG]

Leave them be. This is how humanity should have remained, instead we've developed into a cancer on this earth.

[ParisianColour]

we have to introduce them to Facebook! And convert them to Christianity!

[solhmar]

@ParisianColour Ha ha ha, You made me laugh!

[Vadamur]

It's almost a miracle they are still able to maintain their isolated life style. I hope modern "culture" won't destroy theirs.

[xtallyx1]

F*** them, I'm on christopher colombus' side. First thing these savages do when they see strangers is try to kill them with an arrow. real nice... Also the mashco-piro indians like to kidnap other tribes' women and children. Hey, how bout they leave those people alone !

[TimeToDwell]

@xtallyx1 seems like you have never read a proper history book you dumb fuck. the indians which were met by colombus provided food and a warm welcome, rowing out to their ship to invite them into their homes. They gave precious items also. The first thing your hero did was to write in a letter for spain how easy it would be to kill/ enslave them. so stick it up your ass you dick weed.

[bigdaddyquey]

People should leave them alone!

[stoneycartoon]

Dam they are ready to shoot their ass! That is some comedy they don't play!

[codytheincrdblehuff]

I wish Chris Crocker would do a "leave them alone" Video

[kotonizna]

LEAVE BRITNEY ALONE!!!!

[codytheincrdblehuff]

@kotonizna woahhh i just thought the same thing haha

[ThePatriotMuckraker]

These people should be left alone. But, I don't want to hear any whining when they get a bullet to the head for shooting arrow at someone. Sorry, the world doesn't belong to anyone, including them.

[7WordsET]

The US should send them millions in aid.

[bboyham]

Leave them alone, Chris Columbus defined A-Indians as Savages. This society is doing the same thing. Just fuck off and leave them alone! :)

[Sirimico]

the lady: flecha flecha flecha...( arrow arrow arrow)

[FulinYu]

Incredible, it's like looking into the past of early Humans, only it's 2012!

[dhbiza]

I was hoping to see tits on the indian women.

[moomoomoosmoothies]

@dhbiza :O smh lol

[MrDestruction25]

wtf

did he aim a bo and arrow at them? lol

[thomsonluvsu]

@23Aztek: Where nobody gets hurt? So they should be exposed to disease because they defend their territory? Every country I think of has a military that defends its soil from unwanted trespassers. Let's look at Iran or N. Korea, do you think I could just walk into their countries even with the best intentions? No, I would be arrested or even shot at. My point is, nobody owns any part of this planet any more than the next. And just because the majority wants to exploit a minority does not make i

[23aztek]

@thomsonluvsu

You've got this wrong. Don't you read news? The problem is, that this clan has entered private property - and now tell me... what would you do if they would appear in YOUR garden? Do you want to be shot with a bow? I don't think so! It's not easy to handle with.

[thomsonluvsu]

Leave them be. They have the right to live as they see fit. They have no idea they have out lived two world wars, or that men have been to the moon. They are mankind in our most basic form. We tend to forget that human beings are animals (primate). Contact will only bring disease, heart ache, and exploitation of their people and land. Legally protect THEIR land from others, and leave them alone

[clintonearlwalker]

Clan members have been blamed for two bow-and-arrow attacks on people near the riverbank in Madre de Dios state where officials say the Indians were first seen last May.

One badly wounded a forest ranger in October. The following month, another fatally pierced the heart of a local Matsiguenka Indian, Nicolas "Shaco" Flores, who had long maintained a relationship with the Mashco-Piro.

[ohmmeters]

@clintonearlwalker

Thats good, I think they do the right thing.

[sandrinilie]

they can do`it better, leave them alone :)

[23aztek]

@sandrinilie

Those organizations HAVE to make pictures of them, because without proof they exist, the outside world won't support them. One image of them has more impact then a thousand reports.

[urbank007]

Que mal hablan el idioma los ocupantes de la lancha, les comprendi muy poco.s

A las tribus indigenas aisladas ahi que tenerles precaución.

[slither169]

i think they are doing fine.best thing to do is leave them alone b4 they end up like the american indians.

[xander7ful]

Doesn't anyone remember the story of the five Christian missionaries in the 1950s who died because they reached out to Ecuadorian Indians like these? They hoped the Indians would not be violent and they were wrong. Unless someone is willing to risk their lives & go live with them (the way the missionaries' families did), then they should be left alone. They don't want our "civilization".

[unconqueredwallace]

For all those interested in this video and the complex issues it raises, please read my new book, "The Unconquered: In Search of the Amazon's Last Uncontacted Tribes." My book offers a thoughtful treatment, based on my experience as a National Geographic writer trekking through the land of one such tribe together with careful research, into these issues. Are these people really uncontacted? What does 'uncontacted' really mean? Should they be left alone or offered the benefits of modern society?

[nickodemo1]

@unconqueredwallace benefits???!!! what benefits are you talking about?

[TimeToDwell]

@unconqueredwallace hey youn piece of shit fucker...leave these people alone you pig!!!! they dont want to be contacted,,,,you just want to make money.. i hope you die you fuck.

[Raycing]

Hmm you must be American because Peruvians DON'T throw their garbage in the river like you might, people in this region respect mother earth and all she has to offer unlike you*

[j6mcd]

@Raycing this is simply not true..i've been to Peru and their streams and rivers were just as filled with debris as those in America..perhaps even worse in some places. Litter is a worldwide issue, not just an american one.

[AbuBishir]

We have to get to them! They have to know about the new iPhone 4S!

[urbank007]

@AbuBishir estupido.

[rezahamid531]

Actually they seem very cool and act natural as they should. Don't seem scared,very confident,Thisis not their first time they seeing "us".

[spareaxe]

Just don't start giving them Cheeseburgers and fries!!

[sosor3l]

That's survivor season 24

[SuicideWaffle]

After watching this, i'm left with one question - a question that may shake the foundations of civilised life

Cocks on youtube? XD

[ijoemil]

Se esta ahogando!! Acerquemonos!!! Par de viejos imbeciles, si se me acercaran yo tambien les tiro flechas

[Skurfer0]

Bear Grylls should do a special where he contacts these dudes and drinks their piss.

[VanaiCro]

leave them alone!!!!!!!!!

[23aztek]

@VanaiCro

They do, but this clan-members have left their habitat and now they're attacking natives, preservers and tourists. You see - it's not so easy. This is a delicate situation. You can (you SHOULD) leave them alone, yes... but when they start to expand, it won't be easy to do. So shut your mouth and better think of a solution where NOBODY get hurt!

[VanaiCro]

@23aztek hey man, do not tell me to shut up!!!!

[keuteltjes]

i love this stuff

[carlgeers]

i bet they are really feeling this "global economic crisis"!

[colorsthemind]

if you notice there is a kid getting pulled by a current in the beginning of the video. What is worst not helping out or getting them sick with our "civilized" sicknesses. :P

[mikeVII]

this looks fake...

[colorsthemind]

The people recording thought one of the natives were drowning. Maybe that is why they dared themselves to get closer. They got closer to one of the natives that were shouting to find out what happened to the other native because they thought he or she was drowning. That is what I understood from them speaking in spanish.

[Globox822]

just let them be, they don't need your "protection". The moment you come in contact with them, things change.

[inteperu]

Quick transcript and translation of the dialog, on Pastebin wY5TgxpR

[darkschevich]

cmon lets colonize them and give them the 'benefits' of our civilization! credit cards, wild capitalism and debt!

[jmjrjw]

@darkschevich dont forget obesity

[xivox94]

we are to them, what aliens are to us

[CorvetteAustin24]

Wow.. the top comments are stupid.

[avtonomia77]

como les van a dar gaseosa. si les pasan algún virus, bien ganados los flechazos, se lo merecen

[minimalizam009]

Nuke the bastards.

[miksulder]

they were armed and ready to defend

[marko2781991]

i would love to live like them..

[mattew2221]

Soon there will some perverted people try to go there and rape their woman, I know our world sick fuck just have weird fetishes

[alscaul0]

@mattew2221 expressing your thoughts?

[mattew2221]

@alscaul0

what part you don't understand?

[alscaul0]

@mattew2221 your dirty mind

[mattew2221]

@alscaul0

sorry I dont know how to teach retards

[MrDestruction25]

@mattew2221 very very true sad.

[salabajzer138]

leave them be, I regret they didn't wound some of you...

[cromato]

great, now the USA will start a new war to bring democracy in their country...

[urbank007]

@cromato usa deberia dejar de existir para que alla democracia. Los latinoamericanos no necesitamos de los greengos.

[pablow93]

flecha flecha flecha flecha

[file83]

How do they know those people are "uncontacted"?? That's a tall claim considering they never spoke with these people, they just watched them from far away. Truth is these tourists know NOTHING about these people.

[digvoldon]

I don't speak this particular tribes language but I think the arrows being fired is the international language for "piss off".

[Sjamsucks]

To all the people going on about how they aren't at the zoo bla bla bla, I'm sure if you saw these people, you would have done the exact same. It would be remarkable to see this, considering this would be the closest thing to "wild" humans left on earth.

[AristocraticLiving]

@Sjamsucks Couldn't agree more... When I was watching this it's just amazing. Just amazing to think about and comprehend.

[uturunkucha]

Malditos turistas peruanos! Es muy peligroso porque este grupo no tiene resistencia contra las enfermidades occidentales. No es milagro que querían atacar a los turistas. Muchas veces se hace daño a indígenas en la selva. Un joven perdió su ojo por un desparo de los madereros, acá enlace = survival.es/indigenas/aislados­peru

[moleman1961]

The missionaries will insist on visiting and end up giving them all sorts of sickness! And a good dose of the usual std`s like they have in the past! I bet they are packing their bags right now drooling at the thought of getting their hands on them!

Say goodbye to these poor people!

[tsjoukie1]

ssshole fucking tourists

fuck off

now some other ssholes will take arms too shoot back

spanish ssholes

[leendert1100]

Those stupid tourists ,they think they're at the zoo

[kiaz6x]

Is it me of do they walk kind of awkward?

[Hemulen40]

For God´s sakes : LET DEM BE !

[HS81]

malditas touristas, bloodsuckin shameless tourists why you dont leave those people alone.

[avejudas]

I know this. Indians where killed by not-indians.

Save the indians

[Patrickthedutch]

But after my joke, yes this is amazing.

It would be cool to live like that, no taxes no government interference. Freedom, but also hardship, who is going to heal you from diseases?

[Mohachedachamalamo]

@Patrickthedutch

i think it shows people can do perfectly without money. Imagine our society like this, but with the technology we have today.

A monetary system doesn't heal you, the doctors do.

[Patrickthedutch]

@Mohachedachamalamo well, how are you going to pay the doctor ? with banana's ? and a crate of tomato's ?

How are you going to pay the cancer researchers ? A truck full with tea leaves ? The nurse who is helping you, or the casket when you brake an arm ? How is your boss going to pay you? Or are you going to do it all for yourself, kill and slaughter animals, food from the land, although it looks appealing at first hand, the society we have today, is not so bad after all.

[MrLuckyme4]

@Patrickthedutch they have their medicine man to help them and natural medicine, there is so much more siknes in civilized world

[Patrickthedutch]

@MrLuckyme4 sure puffing some smoke in the patients face and weaving with some feathers will scare the bad ghosts away and heal malaria, or dysentery, I do not recommend this for you, when you are sick. lol

But at first point it looks like you made a valid point, but you forget one thing, we as western world, have 'conquered' already a lot of diseases first we would die on the plague, polio, small pocks, tbc, malnutrition, malaria, now we get older and with that die on other things.

[Patrickthedutch]

In the old days, you wouldn't die on cancer, or heart /vascular diseases, because sadly you did not had the privilege to get that old.

The reason why people die, are different true out the century's.

When you go to that stem, they won't survive the sniffers, while we can make -if God permits us-, make a vaccine.

[Patrickthedutch]

@Mohachedachamalamo if I ever get rich, i love the idea of having some land and chickens and being self supportive. But I still want and need society.

Only due to wealth and monetary system, we achieved what we have achieved regarding health care research.

There is less hunger, people don't die because remember one thing, mother nature can be a bitch, and it does not always guarantee the fruits of the land. Now we have frigerators to store food. Or being able to import it from somewhere else.

[Mohachedachamalamo]

@Patrickthedutch

ok, i know it's impossible today, i totally agree with you. But i do believe that technology someday is going to automate such a great deal of our labor (agrarain, industrial, service) that we're gonna have to find another system than our monetary system we know today. People today need jobs for an income, so automation is in some way an enemy.. But we should see it as something that can truly set us free. I'm not talking about a utopia though, because it will never be perfect.

[Mohachedachamalamo]

@Patrickthedutch

no offence btw ;) just like to talk about that stuff.

[Patrickthedutch]

@Mohachedachamalamo totally non taken :) I love to talk about it to. We did have seen this before at the automation, it was in the 80's, a lot of people where getting fired by the masses. It was a disaster, but, in some kind of odd way, it created eventually more jobs, I am sorry that I forgot how it did that way,

And in some jobs will humans never be replaced by robots. Just my thoughts, to know history is very important, not saying that you don't know history. :)

[Patrickthedutch]

I see huge potential to put there a mc Donalds.

New customers.

Stocks will go up..

[dwarreI]

Those are few of the last people on earth with a true sustainable lifestyle. Ironically their homegrounds are being threatened by western wood loggers and oil companies.

Please leave these people and their land alone in peace, they have the only cultural heritage which is truly worth preserving.

[primummovens]

Now we know why space aliens have never visited us - we are too primitive.

[xelagot]

These people have no defences or antibodies against our "civilised" illnesses and should be left alone to lead their lives safely. Do these bunch of tourists in a boat think they are animals in a zoo or what? Disgraceful!

[primummovens]

@xelagot Yes it is a human zoo. Are you a hypocrite? All animals live in our zoos, maybe at least some of us should too.

[Robertoayon]

@xelagot

Turists? Most likely Peruvian prospectors doing what prospectors and settlers have done for centuries, Sounds familiar?

Beautiful place though, Bill Gates should buy it, fence it, guard it and feed us liveupdates.

[pasusuel]

@xelagot

so, were never ever supposed to contact them? in all of time? ...... never?

so, 1000 years from now we should be having vacations on mars and these people should still be in the stone age??

really?

the tourist are not treating them as animals in a zoo. I dont know where you saw that in the video , but i didnt. they dont get close to them, because the tribe tries to shoot them.

Its a bit dummb to think that these tribes dont know about our civilization. they do know.

[LaLibrePensee]

@pasusuel

They don't want to contact us. Do you understand that? If they wanted to lead a modern life they'd leave the jungle by themselves...leading a stone age way of life is their choice! So don't pity them and let them alone!

[pewpewlololo]

@pasusuel they have all they need. and more. 

[pasusuel]

@pewpewlololo

here is an idea: why dont you let those people decide for themselves if they have all they need. maybe they want to contact us.

Do you know what they want?

[mwillis1000]

@xelagot

Well its interesting to see a tribe that has no contact with the world and is still living in the ancient times. I would film them, there is nothing wrong with that.

[Naraxsus]

@xelagot Our "civilized" illnesses float down the river on our garbage and sewage. It goes into their soil and everywhere/anywhere it wants to. They have been exposed to more of our diseases than you think. The river can carry sickness for thousands of miles. We DO NOT have to directly contact them to spread diseases.

[ALEWAR0311]

kind of mind blowing knowing that they haven't made contact with the outside world wait till they see our technology it will blow their mind.

[1985JOEYT]

I think its amazing that there are still tribes out there that have never been in contact with the outside world. They should be left alone and protected !!

[ChaosRevolution]

"flecha, flecha, flecha..." = arrow 

[Diontjuhz]

I hope they just leave them be uncontacted

[YeaItWasOkay]

Crazy stuff, I wonder what they're saying (on the boat).?
