Survival International did a fly-over of this "uncontacted group" of people in the Amazon. I'm having a hard time digesting this. Talk about two worlds colliding. And these people are ready to take down a flying machine (or at least the photographer in it) with bows and arrows. I don't know whether to cry or laugh but I'm leaning toward crying.

I did see that this morning, and it unsettled me.
ReplyDeleteThey may still be "uncontacted", but they're certainly no longer unviolated.
Gives me shivers.
Crystal, it is just heartbreaking beyond belief. I just don't have the hope or the heart to think eventual "contact" will be much different, or any less damaging, than all the previous "contacts." :-(
