the reason they are firing at the helicopters in because they want to be left in peace and not bothered by modern society ,plus did it not occur to you that if they are living pre modern that they are afraid of the helicopter.

This has only been touched on so I thought I would bring it up. Anthropologists have been trying to contact many of these tribes in the Amazon for years. What they have discovered is that THESE PEOPLE WANT NOTHING TO DO WITH US. The isolation is self imposed. For more on this subject, check out Amazon Tribes. Just my 2 cents.

Seriously, if I was a sticks and stones kind of guy and one day a giant whirling bird hovered over me, that would totally f me up for life.

I don’t know, Forbes. Seems to me they reacted a lot like “civilized” (snicker) people might: get the women and kids under cover, gird yourselves for battle (the body paint and weapons), and try to scare the intruder off by shooting at it.

The person in black that the BBC said might be a woman might also have been a shaman or witch, casting spells.

In other words, not ‘f’ed up at all. Pretty rational, actually.

Something else occurs to me: that chopper had windows, obviously, and it’s possible the tribespeople could identify humans, or at least human-shaped things, inside the bird. So perhaps they reacted the same as they would to any purely human invader.

Cool catch, NS, by the way.

Isn’t it a little tough to ‘not contact’ these people when you’ve flown a helicopter over their heads? Seriously, if I was a sticks and stones kind of guy and one day a giant whirling bird hovered over me, that would totally f me up for life.

It would, however, be interesting to find out how they get themselves so orange.

Duh, they’re Oompa-Loompas.
