Uncontacted Amazon tribe seen in incredible photos

The indigenous people forming an uncontacted tribe discovered in an aerial photo are called the Yanomami. They are estimated to be 100 people. The village is located in Northern Brazil and is close to Venezuelan border.

Survival International estimated that 100 uncontacted tribes around the world still exist.

I wonder what the average population is over the 100 uncontacted tribes?

Probably no more than 100.

There has been at least one study claiming that no uncontacted tribes around the world still exist. Further, I’ve seen it claimed that one supposedly newly contacted tribe was paid to pretend to be uncontacted. The following far side cartoon is appropriate.

I realise now that there’s a big difference between “not contacted” and “avoiding contact”. Tribes avoiding contact are those that have been contacted in the past and have decided that they don’t want any contact in the future. Tribes avoiding contact greatly outnumber those that have never been contacted.
