Amazon Moral Conundrum

New Amazon Tribe

An unknown tribe was found in the Amazon on the border of Peru and Brazil. Unlike Brazil, Peru does not have an association to help indigenous tribes. In this article, they debate whether or not it’s moral meet with these “uncontacted tribes”. However, if you look at the angle of the photographs, they had to be taken from a helicopter (or some other aircraft), and if you look closely you can see the “uncontacted tribe” pointing their bows and arrows toward the sky, most likely aiming at the aircraft. From an ethical standpoint, you have to evaluate whether or not this”uncontacted tribe” is really “uncontacted” after encountering modern-day aircraft. Now the tribe has seen aircraft, how do you begin to explain aircraft to people who live in the jungle? Additionally, the article also explains many people from a “uncontacted tribe” died of disease after outside contact. Also, do you have to contact the tribe in order to protect them?
