SAO PAULO -- Dramatic images of an isolated Brazilian tribe believed never to have had contact with the outside world were published by officials Friday to draw attention to threats posed to their way of life.

The pictures, released by the Brazilian government's National Indian Foundation (FUNAI), showed alarmed natives pointing bows and arrows at the aircraft carrying photographers.

The head of FUNAI's environmental protection unit responsible for the images, Jose Carlos dos Reis Mereilles, told Brazilian newspapers the foundation had known of the existence of the tribe for years -- located in thick rainforest near the Peruvian border -- and many photos had been taken.

"This time, we decided to reveal the material to prove that there are Indians living in complete isolation, and to call attention to a serious problem that exists, which is the threat of interlopers from the Peruvian side," he told O Estado de S. Paulo.

The pictures were taken from several flights over the apparently sedentary tribe's thatched-roof village in the remote Brazilian state of Acre.

Survival International, a British group lobbying on behalf of indigenous people around the world, said on its website there were fears illegal logging in Peru could endanger the Brazilian tribe's habitat, by forcing displaced Peruvian tribes into contact with it.

It said there were an estimated 500 isolated Indians living on the Brazilian side of the border.

"The world needs to wake up to this, and ensure that their territory is protected in accordance with international law. Otherwise, they will soon be made extinct," Survival International director Stephen Corry said.

His group said there were more than 100 uncontacted indigenous tribes worldwide.

I agree ni kiam sagdan na lang unta na sila wa man bitaw na sila manghilabot nato.

I think the government would just like to see if they are following the rule of law.  For example, they may be marrying their own children and yet both the old and young didn't know that's not right according to the rule of law busa manghilabot jud ang government kay nahisakop man sila.  = I wish they are just gonna be safe and not be violated with their own individuality but then again naa man tay balaud.  If they are found to be doing just as decent as they should be, then they should be left on their own.

I don't know kung naa pa ba na sa ato Ms Grace, but I know there are still some indigenous tribes in Bukidnon with very, very limited contact with the outside world. Daghan pa man gud suok suok nga mga bukid didto where they can live in peace nga dili samok samokon sa mga ubang tawo.

Thyl, I heard this from way back when the existence of these people in Bukidnon and even in the remote places of Davao too.  They have their own beautiful fashion that only Victoria Secret Models can dare to wear!

hahaha! at bukidnon te? well i hope no civilized person will corrupt their innocence

Yes, Bem, I heard about it.  Nah, isog pod ang leader nila oi di basta2x ma corrupt!  Also in remote places in Davao, naay mga tawo called Lumad.  My police sister is so attached to them.  Palangga kaayo sya sa mga Lumad.

te. My childhood dream was to be an archealogist or paleontologist.. i mean. as in nahan ko ana.. it would've been fun meeting this kind of people while on expedition..
then again. it was just a dream..
so naa pa diay ni cla? i guess it's not too late maski nalang ang part to meet their kind..

If you are in Davao, Bem, I will ask my sister to take you to the Lumads.

oh my!!  @.@,   exciting kaau na te..
naa photos?  or lemme check google

Bem, the real lumad kana wa pa jud na corrupt kadtong tungason jud sa kabukiran.
