A previously unknown indigenous group was discovered deep in the Amazon rainforest, in one of the dense jungles of the Javari Valley Indigenous Reserve in western Brazil. The aerial footage, below, was released by officials of Brazil’s Indian Affairs Agency (FUNAI), who initially discovered the tribe during examination of satellite images of rain forest clearings. They estimate that the tribe might number as many as 200 people.
The Javari Reserve is home to the largest concentration of uncontacted tribes in the entire world, with at least eight uncontacted indigenous communities, and perhaps as many as fourteen, inhabiting the upland forests.
