Now these are real survival experts (primitive group emerges from Brazilian Jungle)

Awe the vid didn't work. But that's pretty wild, sucks they're being pushed out of the wilderness though.
 
I read and heard about this and the people who did this need to be handled ASAP and with no mercy! Just my opinion.
 
I watched the vid and read the article.

At the around 4/four minutes in, one of the "first contact" Indians has a rifle or shotgun.

At least 2/two of the others already have machetes.

I'd believe limited contact, but not a chance is it first contact.

I think "secure" a machete and an ax is one way to put it, another way would be, they "stole" an ax and a machete from the people in that village.
The 2/two that did the thieving didn't hang around either, got the hell out of dodge.
They knew what they did was wrong, otherwise they wouldn't have left in such a hurry.

I don't think(just my opinion) it's as bad as it seems. They are a hunter gatherer group that doesn't have a set home, but moves around. 5/five years from now they can move back through the place they left. Odds are they don't spend more than a year in the same range.
It's not like the illegal loggers are building walmarts and strip malls behind them.
 
I keep getting a msg of technical difficulties when trying to watch the vid. By the sounds of it it's a bit iffy, if I was a native of some land that has gone without contact other than being forced out the wild by armed coke runners I think I'd be a bit hesitant of approaching villages let alone ripping them off of their tools. I think 2014's a little late to pull a "North America" on them and strip them of their rights and stick them on a Rez so they're gonna have to relocate to a new area or like mentioned slip back in when vegetation starts to sprout up where they were.
