What Gold Miners In A Bar Boasted They’d Done To A Never Before Contacted Amazonian Tribe, Is Truly Disturbing
15. The Recording
The audio recording that was handed over to Brazilian authorities by this unnamed bar patron, captures several illegal miners or “garimpeiros”- as the locals call them, boasting about how they came across at least 10 uncontacted indigenous tribe members and wiping them out completely. “The tribe members were greater in number– there were as many as 10– but the gold miners said they’d gotten the best of them and killed the entire lot,” said Carla de Lello Lorenzi, Communications Officer for Survival International- an indigenous people’s advocacy group that centers their work around uncontacted tribes.
The details of the massacre and the events that followed it, are truly disturbing and will have you protesting for more protection for the Amazon and its peoples.
