Recently, the Brazilian government's Indian affairs department, Funai, took several bird's eye view photographs of an "uncontacted" Indian tribe in the Acre region on the Brazil-Peruvian border. The photos illuminate a world that we, in a "civilized society," have only seen in movies and read about in history books. It is evident in the photos that these Amazonian natives are ready and willing to defend their way of life against insurmountable odds. It's truly marvelous that these people exist.
Consider this, we all probably know someone's who's seen a UFO, a ghost or some other extra normal phenomenon. Generally speaking, these phenomena tend to scare the living hell out of the folks who see them. That's not the case with our uncontacted brethren. In the photo above, they stand ready to defend their ground. Who knows what they think the plane above is? One thing, however, is certain...to them, it is an unidentified flying object and they've deemed it a threat to their way of life.
Why is it that when we see something like that, we're filled with a mix of curiosity and dread while the Amazonians staunchly defend their makeshift rampart?
