What Gold Miners In A Bar Boasted They’d Done To A Never Before Contacted Amazonian Tribe, Is Truly Disturbing
12. The Difficult Investigation
Details of the September 2017 massacre, similar to other crimes towards uncontacted tribes, are often extremely difficult to obtain as many of these communities are extremely isolated. Many researchers note that reaching these communities can take up to a 12-hour boat ride down river, and once reached the community members are often distrustful towards outsiders. “We are following up but the territories are big and access is limited,” said Lead prosecutor Pablo Luz De Beltrand. Even FUNAI has very sporadic information about these uncontacted tribes, but the investigated continues as they are determined to stir up leads.
