Tribes uncontacted by man - facinating

I'd love to be like them, not knowing anything about the world, and then suddenly experiencing a city like London, New York, etc. Would be pretty weird.

Because they'll have no idea what a plane is and that we where looking at them.
Go there and if they don't wont to know us they can tell us. As long as legislation is in place I can't see the problem. After the initial meetings. Most tribes seem to be fascinated with us, in the same way we are fascinated by them.

Sorry for rejoining late but I got a bit involved with work. :eek:

But the tribe has seen something that is (presumably) outwith their understanding so they can explore for the source if they choose or alternatively they can continue to exist as they have for X thousands of years. Why do we have to go searching for them further and present them with a expedition party - we've already given them a choice, perhaps unintentionally but it is still a choice as outlined above.

I'd love to share the belief that legislation is always obeyed and will cure problems but quite simply it isn't and won't in many cases, especially in areas that are harder to police such as the 'frontiers' of the World.
 
But to reach is in hundreds if not thousands of miles trekking through dense forrest. No major rivers or seas that can take boats.
The chance they thought these mysterious objects where human is very unlikely. Even if they saw the pilot they would have helmet and flight suites on.

Yes it is hard to stop people going, so isn't it better to send a party that will obey legislation rather than just letting a corporation seek them out and do deals with them.

What is this shady corporation? What deals?

Presumably since they have had no contact with the authorities, they have no deeds for this particular bit of forest to sell to said corporation which up until now has shown no interest in this spot.
 
This reminds me of the original Civilization (the game) where you could find primitive tribes and pillage them.

In the event that the tribe wants to find the source of the spyplane badly enough then I'm sure they could manage, if not then perhaps they either don't care enough/have chalked it up to experience or they will in the future teach themselves methods for travelling great distances. We've already given them a choice in deciding whether they want to follow up and search for the spyplane, why give them another choice and risk introducing them to disease and/or them killing the expedition party intruding on their lives amongst many other possible issues?

In a lesser of two evils scenario then sure, I'd prefer to see a law abiding party go than a corporation entirely unconstrained by legal boundaries. I've not seen a good reason why anything further needs to be done in searching them out though, if the Government wants to enact legislation why not simply create it so that they cannot be contacted further until and unless they seek us out first.
 
so why couldnt they just use a satalite and let them get on with thier lives? does everyone really need to be brought into the 21st century?
 
pretty fascinating stuff.

i can only imagine what they must be talking about to eachother after seeing a chopper/plane

Uttery irresponsible thing for them to have done, they have no idea how their flyover will affect the tribes future actions from here on in and as such they may very well have forever changed the course of it's ultimate demise.

They probbably thought the only logical thing it was a giant bird just right for a massive feast, FETCH THE BOWS!!

Anyway, probbably best not to go meet them till we can figure out a way of not killing them all with the common cold etc.

They aren't killing each other, spreading lies or living a set lifestyle based on a common preset of work, school, weekend (no concept of time) etc.

Well they probbably do kill each other now and then, and defiantly if there is another tribe near by, and sure they don't go to school etc, its more follow hunters on their hunting trip for a few days come back practice hunting etc , graduate go hunting few days a week, do this that and the other back at camp, get jiggy with the missus, and then probbably some kind of rest/worship day.

I have to agree with this. These actions could be perceived as a number of things.

Visit from the God's
Some kind of phrophercy coming true - Mass suiside etc

Either way its going to affect them in some way, good or bad.

It would be funny to see them chasing the plane and running into a big city and becoming a mass murder situation, i can see it now...

"LOCAL TRIBE KILLS 1,000's"

OR....

The plane will fly over again, to find that the tribe has moved location and gone into hiding.

OR....

The plane will be shot down by RPG's as little do we know but we've just found Bin Laden

OR....

The plane will fly over to see a mass grave of tribes People

Personally i think they should leave them along. I mean, what will we do with them? Kill them with our modern germs? Lock 'em away and study them ?

Just leave them be. Maybe they have better technology than us :D

While their existence is very intriguing, so what?

If they couldn't cope with the flyover and that event snowballed in to ruin for their society, then it would be exposed as rather weak and probably worth calling it a day for, anyway. I'm not saying actions shouldn't be considered carefully, but the intense knee-jerk romanticism from most people is kind of funny.

Leave them alone, they have done fine without 'us' for many years.

Agreed. The trouble is some people have a 'mission to civilise' mindset.

Besides, I personally doubt that they are truly unaware of the outside world. Maybe they felt it had nowt to offer them? They have their freedom, and a society/rules to suit their own small needs. The outside world would destroy all that almost overnight, and to what gain for either side? We would gain nothing of worth, and our civilized world has little of practical value to offer them, apart from various STD's, Starbucks and the tax man.

Does that sound like a good deal to anyone?
 
Wow, they spent all that time trying to find this tribe and then used a camera phone to take the pictures.

The moment we made contact their way of life became instantly under threat. Sad really.

Indeed, some knobs will invade them.

I think this is awsome, i cant belive that this kind of thing even exists, i dont think it was long ago that someone was asking what it would be like to see this kind of thing in existance.

If we havnt found these before, then how many others are out there..

Exciting stuff, i hope to see more of this on the news.
