Aerial photos taken in northern Brazil show a small, uncontacted tribe is alive and well in the forests of the Amazon. Survival International, a non-profit aimed at protecting tribal peoples, released the series of pictures on Thursday. Uncontacted tribes are communities of people that live in isolation and have experienced no peaceful contact with anyone in the mainstream or dominant society. Estimated to be home to 100 people, the Moxihatetema community is one of three uncontacted Yanomami tribes in the region close to Brazil’s border with Venezuela. Survival Interational says the miners shot shot women, children and old people, and hacked a baby with a machete.
