If you look close at picture #2 you can kind of see barbarian-boobies.

I'm unclear as to why it's evidently so important to you that we think that this tribe has existed in a bubble.

Nexa


I don't know about the bubble analogy. I'm just saying that the term isn't used incorrectly in this case. This organization isn't being deceptive or inaccurate in using the term "uncontacted." Clearly, you disagree. It's not all that deep. I just think you guys are making alot of assumptions about this based on suppositions and thoughts from an article that conflates alot of different tribes' experiences and makes some cursory descriptions about the term "uncontacted." I don't agree with what you are saying. That's all.

No. I'm saying the term is misleading to the majority of people who will hear it in this press release. I don't think cultural anthropologists will be confused by it, I just don't think it's an accident that most people reading this story will think that the plane flying overhead was the first this group was ever aware that anything beyond their environment existed.

By design, yes. Because it's far more interesting to people than groups who could trade for TV sets tomorrow if they weren't xenophobic.

Is there a category for "tribes that tried having a relationship with the outside world, but it really didn't work out, so they broke up"?

Well, I agree with the bolded part and that is problematic or at least inaccurate. I just don't have a problem with the term being used itself.

All I read is that you don't know anything about the terminology and are dismissing something out of hand based on having no information.

Interesting interpretation considering I was completely accurate from the start and you weren't. I'm envious of your powers of self-deception. If I had those I could so totally be a ninja-pirate-robot.

I'm learning to type with them.

They're obviously too big, but I'm fortunate enough to be so hairy that I can twist little pubic dreadlocks together into stiff finger like appendages.

Hey, I just figured out what I want carved on my tombstone!

Why do you hate uncivilized Brazilian Indian tribes so much, Elinda? Are you an elitist where you want all of society's iPods and plasma screen TVs for yourself? Pure selfishness I'd say...

I think this is awesome and sad at the same time. I find it awesome, in the light that these people have lived with little to no contact from the outside world, evolving at their own rate. I find it sad that we as a whole will run them off their lands and force them to conform to our way of living.

You know, had we discovered them any time up until the last 150 years, we would've gone there, kill the men and children, rape the women, send some whiteys to live there, and wipe from the face of the Earth any remnants of that civilisation we could stumble upon.

So it's a bit of an improvement, at least.

Every cloud...

Wait, you're saying they're uncontacted Iraqis? Unlikely.
