What Gold Miners In A Bar Boasted They’d Done To A Never Before Contacted Amazonian Tribe, Is Truly Disturbing
5. Survival International and Uncontacted Indigenous People
Apart from FUNAI, there is another force trying to conserve the cultural identity and well being of these uncontacted indigenous peoples. Survival Internation is a human rights organization formed in 1969 that campaigns for the rights of indigenous tribal peoples and uncontacted peoples. Survival International states that: “150 million tribal people live in more than 60 countries across the world. Although their land ownership rights are recognized in international law, they are not properly respected anywhere.”
The organization aims to protect all indigenous and uncontacted people but most notably works with tribes in The Americans, such as the Awá people from Brazil, the Ayoreo people of Paraguay, and the people of The Uncontacted Frontier of Peru which includes uncontacted people like the Fleicheros, who reside along the border of Brazil and Peru.
