Anthropologists working for the government in Peru will attempt to make contact with a remote tribe. The Mashco Piro people live in an isolated area of the Amazon rainforest but they have been increasingly making contact with other communities. One on occasion, they reportedly attacked another Indian village with bows and arrows and killed one person. In reaching out to this particular group, anthropologists will try to understand why they are leaving the Manu National Park. Get the Story:
