The Tribe of the "Red Men"
The last tribes of the earth is in the Amazon forest in the state ACRI between Brazil and Peru.
Si tratta della "tribù degli uomini rossi", guerrieri forti e in buona salute con il corpo completamente dipinti di rosso, che vivono in piccole capanne di legno e paglia in modo permanente.
Gli indios con il corpo e il viso colorati di rosso,sono stati avvistati dalla Funai (Fondazione Nazionale degli Indios) in una delle zone più impervie del polmone verde.
Le foto degli indigeni sono state diffuse dall'organizzazione britannica Survival International. La scoperta è arrivata grazie anche alle carte geografiche elettroniche del Google Earth. In una delle foto si vede una radura con alcune grandi capanne and a dozen of the natives, with some body painted red, others black, pointing the bow toward the plane of the foundation. It is believed that the tribe has about 500 people.
"I have decided to publish the images because other mechanisms have not worked. If the public will not be shaken these tribes are endangered, "said lead author of the photos, Jose Carlos Meirelles, adding that there are at least two other unknown tribes in the area, arrived in Brazil because they felt threatened in Peru. "Their future depends on us - he underlined - if you do not preserve their lands, which are not good for agriculture, will be the end for them. " "These photos show how we support a long time. There are over 20 sites where indigenous people live in isolated border region with Peru, but politicians, landowners and even anthropologists say that this is a fantasy, "added Sydney Possuelo, founder of the department for indigenous peoples blocks of Funai.
The Funai normally act only when there is a risk of a "hostile contact" with about 40 remote indigenous communities in the Amazon. Besides the risk of conflict on the ground with miners or farmers, indigenous people are also exposed to the risk of infection with diseases that they can become deadly.
