At the edge of one of the rivers of the reserve Manu National Park, one million 900 thousand hectares and located southeast of Peru, in the Amazon, an archaeologist and tourist photograph-able for the first time a group of indigenous Mashco-Piro, of which little or nothing is known, then shun contact with civilization and live in total isolation. In the pictures, taken at a distance, you see some wearing loincloths, although the majority (which include men, women and children) are totally naked. The images were released by the NGO Survival studying indigenous groups who have no contact with the civilized world and, according to estimates by the state, no more than 100 in the world. Miriam Ross, Survival spokeswoman, told La Tercera that it is believed that in the Peruvian Amazon is home to about 15 of such tribes, who are divided in groups of 20-50 people. "Although there are some Mashco-Piro Indians who have been contacted by people and have gone to live out of the jungle, are the least". The most significant was the photo taken by the Spanish archaeologist Diego Cortijo, who sailed last November one of the rivers of the reserve as part of a personal investigation, when he noticed the presence of these Indians. At about 120 feet away, managed to get his camera and a telephoto lens to capture about 10 of them while in the river. Something very similar to what happened to Gabriella Galli. This woman was in the area conducting a birding route from the river when they spotted sailing a small group of teenagers Mashco-in one of the banks. "The photo was taken from the ship and there was no contact," says De Luis. They do not want contact A year ago, the same NGO revealed photos of another tribe living in the Brazilian Amazon alone in the world, also within a reservation. This time, the photo was taken from the air by the government of Brazil. Thanks to this photo, one could deduce that the Indians managed basketry and painting techniques and practicing the hunt (for the spears they had) and agriculture, for baskets full of manioc. However, indigenous Mashco-we know almost nothing, except that they do not want to have contact with the outside world. In fact, De Luis explains that there is greater pressure on their habitat, by logging and oil exploration-have increased Mashco-watching in his last months, which have responded with violence against the invaders. One thing: last year shot an arrow as a warning to guard Manu Park, "which we interpret as a warning, since it launched a blunt arrow," says De Luis. Although this year was found dead with an arrow Nicolas "Shaco" Flores, a native of another tribe who for 20 years helped many scientists to study the area. The expert says seeking protection from new threats, including a new one: drug trafficking. According to the NGO, the cartels are using their forest land to grow coca plants, into land that only tribes commonly move. Little is known about the origins of this language family. At first there were four known languages ??in this group: peba, masamae, yameo and yawa. The language Peba was located in the vicinity of the Peruvian-Brazilian border, in Chichita river, left tributary of the Amazon, between the Napo and ICA / Putumayo. The masamae was spoken in the river Mazán. In the third language, yameo, not have many records. In any case, during the mid-twentieth century they became extinct. Today, the only language of the linguistic family Peba - Yagua spoken is still yagua (Yawa). Yagua town. Blowguns, blowgun calls are greatly elongated, hand-crafted and used for hunting.
