Incredible photos offer first glimpse of uncontacted Amazon tribe

i doubt it. What the article fails to mention is their livelihood is being threatened by miners. The miner's illegal presence has brought malaria and polluted the water with mercury.

"uncontacted tribes in the region are particularly vulnerable to illegal gold miners who have brought malaria as well as polluted the tribes' food and water sources with mercury.

Yanomami shaman Davi Kopenawa Yanomami, who described the miners as termites that keep coming back and do not leave them in peace, said that the pollution caused by the miners killed the shrimps and fishes in the rivers. Outsiders also brought flu and measles to which these people have little resistance.

The aerial images were taken as part of an investigation being conducted by Brazilian authorities of about 5,000 miners illegally conducting operation in the territory."
