There are over one hundred different tribes around the globe today who choose to reject contact with the outside world. Fascinating pictures surfaced on the internet yesterday of an uncontacted tribe on the border Peru and Brazil. They are being called "the most vulnerable peoples on the planet."
It is hard for those of us in America to relate to a culture like this. This people group is one of many who live on the run and are fleeing their land as colonists, oil crews and cattle ranchers invade their territory. In the pics below you can actually see some of the tribal members with their weapons drawn to attack as the plane flies overhead.
This afternoon I watched this video narrated by Julie Christie for Survival International, one mission organization whose vision is to reach uncontacted tribes. I pray for missionaries and organizations like this who reach these people groups but find it so hard sometimes to understand other cultures as we are so far removed from areas of the world like this.
