Peruvian Nomads who are untouched by civilization

 

Never-before-seen photos have emerged of one of the last the last uncontacted Amazon tribes who the Peru Government is trying to approach after they shot and killed two men in the chest with a bow and arrow.

For 600 years the Mashco Piro clan – also known as Cujareno people – have lived in the forest in Peru close to the border with Brazil and had no contact with the outside world.

The tribe have been seen three times already this year - a record number - as they are tempted out from the forest by modern living in search of food, metal weapons for hunting and tools
