Isolated Peru tribe makes uncomfortable contact
I'm excited to find out that there are still some idigenous tribes left. What it must be like to live unabated by society, economy, and government. It's hard to say what Peruvian authorities should do concerning this tribe. The article talks about how the tribe is "endangering" tourists and people traveling down the river, but who's to say that they are? Their culture and their laws are not the same as ours. They are living as they have done for probably hundreds of years. Farmers and foresters are impeding on their hunting grounds and I'm sure the tribes-people see that as a threat. Who are we to say that our way of life and our beliefs are any better?
