If any of them saw the drone I wonder what they thought about it?

Remarkable drone footage offers a rare glimpse of an isolated tribe in the Brazilian Amazon. In the 51-second clip released by FUNAI, the Brazilian government's Indian Affairs department, tribespeople are shown moving through a deforested area in the jungle and one tribe member appears to be carrying a bow and arrow. The agency said it captured the drone shots during an expedition last year to monitor isolated communities, but only released them on Tuesday to protect their study. FUNAI also released still images showing the tribespeople’s existence in the remote region.

We probably shouldn't mess with them.

Guess the drone got tired of following kiiblez and moved on to greener pastures.

It probably would freak them the frick out.

Seriously, I wonder if they are aware of modern life? If not, it would be something to see them get introduced to it and see their reactions.

I remember reading somewhere that the human eye and brain can't comprehend things that are so incredibly foreign like ships on the horizon in the New World.

Now, that sounds like BS to me, but those people never even looked up at the drone.

They probably took pictures with their smartphones and shared on Insta and Snap

I'm going to be pumped when one of these uncontacted tribes RPGs one of these stupid helicopters.

So if they didn’t contact them, how do they know they’ve never had contact with anyone else? Shouldn’t they ask first before making a claim like this?

Why would you assume people who literally lives off the land, eat only whatever they can find or kill and depends on no one else to provide them with resources would vote for a democrat?
