    Indigenous Amazonian tribes are nothing new to read about but rarely do they make contact with the outside world. They are apparently being forced out of their lands by drug traffickers.

    From a quick search on google, there are approx. 75 uncontacted tribes Amazon tribes.

    So if you were given a choice, would you swap your life for the life of a person a part of an uncontacted Amazonian tribe? Give up the internet, tv, phones but also no taxes or money problems.

    Not being a pedant, but how do they know that 75 tribes exist if they have not been contacted? The could be 347 or 9. Who knows?

    Give them five minutes with Kay Burley and they'll wish they'd never made contact!

    Through surveillance of the different areas I imagine, the Brazilian government know they're there and try at some level to protect them from outside intrusion.
