SEPTEMBER 13, 2000 A report of an Indian killed by settlers in a remote region of the Amazon is concerning the Federal Indian Bureau in Brazil. The Bureau's position on uncontacted tribes, whose population may reach up to 1,000 in up to four unnamed tribes, is to keep them totally isolated and protect them from encroachment. The establishment of a reservation will help protect tribes, making it illegal for settlers to live, hunt, or log on the land. "What happened is a terrible example of the great violence that threatens the Indians everyday," said Neto, head of the Bureau. "We should be thankful that these Indians still exist and protect them as part of this planet's heritage." Get the Story:
