An Amazon tribe are revealed for the first time in northern Brazil, never contacted by outside world

News24xx.com -  Have you ever see about an unknown tribe in the Brazilian jungle ? 

If not, may be you must read this news.

A dramatic drone footage showing an unknown and uncontacted indigenous tribe that living deep in the Brazilian jungle, and it has been seen for the first time. The video was shot from above a vast area of dense Amazon rainforest in the far west of northern Brazil.

The images show a group of 16 indigenous people from a tribe and it was a tribe that has never had any contact with the outside world. 

The video and photographs were taken during an expedition in 2017, but have only been released now.

Some drone footage shows a tribesman walking with a bow and arrow, an ancestral long house known as a maloca, and a plantation of what is believed to be manioc. And other members of the tribe can be seen walking through the jungle near the clearing.

The name or ethnicity of the tribe is unknown as the group has never been seen before and no contact has ever been made. The agency said its experts trekked more than 190 miles into the 53,000-square-mile Vale do Javari reservation on the border with Colombia and Peru, after receiving reports that illegal hunters were threatening tribes.

The three-week expedition last year included travelling 112 miles along rivers before taking to motorbikes then walking for 75 miles through dense jungle. 

The group also found items which confirmed of the presence of uncontacted tribes in the region, including an abandoned stone axe tied together with vegetable fibre, a horn made from tree bark and dugout canoes.

The region, in the Brazilian state of Amazonas, is known to be occupied by six tribes which have been contacted.

But FUNAI (The Brazilian agency for native tribes), believe there at at least 16 other tribes living in the forest who have never had any contact with civilisation. And FUNAI believe there are 113 uncontacted tribes living in the Brazilian Amazon, only 27 of which have been sighted, which could number up to 3,000 people.

There are also said to be 15 uncontacted tribes in neighbouring Peru and others deep in the forests of Bolivia, Colombia and Ecuador.

Recently, FUNAI helped locate a man dubbed 'the loneliest man on the planet'. He was part of a tribe known as the Flecheiros, or 'People of the Arrow', but the man has lived alone in Amazon for 22 years after his tribe was slaughtered.
