Uncontacted native tribes
I am always amazed when I hear news of uncontacted native tribes being “discovered.” There is a story that I saw from the Yahoo pages about a tribe in Brazil that includes pictures from a recent “flyover.” The natives are photographed aiming flaming arrows at the aircraft that is taking the pictures. Can you imagine the horror and dread these natives are feeling as they see this “monster” flying overhead?
I have to stop and think whether it really is in the tribes best interest, as human beings, to be left undeveloped or is it in their best interest to be contacted and taught “modern ways.” That is a moral and ethical decision I know I’ll never have to make, and I’m glad I don’t have to make it! I know for sure that I am glad that I don’t have to live in such primitive conditions!
