Mashco-Piro tribe: Most detailed photos ever taken of uncontacted Indians are released
By Elizabeth FlockSurvival International has released what it says are the most detailed photographs ever taken of uncontacted Indians, showing a family from the Mashco-Piro tribe in southeast Peru.

At this time last year, Survival International released aerial photos and footage of a community of uncontacted Indians in Brazil:

After remaining out of sight for many years, the Mashco-Piro have been sighted often in recent months, even appearing on the banks of a river environmental tourists like to visit. But a recent incident suggests the tribe still desires to be left alone.
Nicolás “Shaco” Flores, a Matsiguenka Indian, was recently shot by a Mashco-Piro’s arrow near the national park. Flores had left food and gifts for the Indians for the past 20 years.
Uncontacted tribes like the Mashco-Piro might be increasingly coming into view because they are being pushed off their land, either by oil and gas projects or by illegal logging.
In October, an 8-year-old girl from one of the last uncontacted tribes in the Amazon was believed to have been captured by loggers in Brazil, tied to a tree and then burned alive.
