Uncontacted tribes


This has absolutely nothing to do with Washington County, but I am totally fascinated with the news stories that broke today about some photos of an uncontacted tribe near the Peru-Brazil border. I guess I figured there were tribes with very little contact with the Western world, but the story said there were still around 100 tribes in the world that have yet to have contact and 50 of them are in the Brazil and Peru.
The photo I've attached is from the organization Survival International, an organization which seeks to protect these tribes. Google this organization to see a few more fascinating pictures. It's like something out of an adventure movie.

Dan,

I don't know how much you know about my current job, but if you are interested in this type of thing I will send you some info on Afghanistan. The lack of development in some areas that we would think of as having a least water and basic skills is phenomenal.
