another u.s. missionary has illegally gone to the territory belonging to an
uncontacted tribe this time in Brazil this comes just two months after John
Allan Chow was killed when he traveled to North Sentinel island to try and
convert the tribe that inhabits it it's like dude didn't you learn anything from
John Allan Chows murder welcome back to another simmering cup of hot tea I'm
Charlotte del Rey this is IO where we make the news more entertaining who says
the news can't be fun ha yeah hit that subscribe and follow us
on Instagram or handles are posted in the description the he Murray matreya
vin brazil along the puranas river in the state of Amazonas over the last few
decades very few outsiders have come into contact with them they are so
isolated they don't even come into contact with other tribes in the general
area as far as we know and based on pictures and videos of crews that have
flown above the area uncontacted tribes in brazil do not want contact with
outsiders we don't know a whole lot about the he marina tribe or their
culture we also don't know how many members of the he Maremma tribe there
are according to the last estimate from 1945 they were up to 1000 individuals
there are around 305 native tribes in brazil in total and there's only a few
dozen of them that are classified as uncontacted it's extremely dangerous to
enter the territory of one of these tribes not only because they don't want
anything to do with the developed world and they could quite possibly kill you
with arrows if they find you on their land but uncontacted tribes have
surprised had no contact with the outside world
therefore they haven't built up the same immunity to diseases as us it's pretty
scary to think about but if one member of this tribe gets the common cold from
an outsider it could theoretically wipe out the whole tribe according to experts
even if direct contact has not occurred the probability of transmission of
diseases to the isolated is high I guess Steve Campbell didn't get the memo
Steve camo is a Christian missionary from the state of Maine in the u.s. last
month he illegally camped in the area occupied by the he marina tribe and
invaded one of the tribes recently abandoned camping grounds Steve Campbell
claimed that he entered the area by mistake and he was actually traveling to
another area inhabited by a different tribe the Jama mati tribe
he was reportedly trying to teach them how to use a GPS device while trying to
reach his destination he mistakenly entered the territory of the he maryam a
tribe or so he says apparently Steve Campbell has been
living among the GEMA mati tribe for years but here's the thing though this
little thing he was living among them but he also had absolutely no
authorization to do that according to the Brazilian government he exposed the
isolated tribe to potentially fatal diseases and violated the rights of the
tribe he's currently being questioned by Funai Brazil's indigenous Affairs
Department he could face a genocide charge which is
pretty serious if he's found guilty he could be in real trouble just a couple
of months ago the world was shocked and confused when John Allen Chou was
murdered after he traveled to North Sentinel island try and convert the
isolated aggressive tribe to Christianity if you haven't heard about
that story we did a couple of videos on John Allen Chou and one of them is
clickable on screen right now the thing is over the next little while we might
see an increase in missionaries trying to contact isolated tribes in Brazil and
that is because in Brazil's his new minister in charge of Indigenous Affairs
president Boston ro appointed an evangelical preacher to the position
unfortunately when he was campaigning Boston ro promised that he would open up
protected land in areas and quote leave not one centimeter for indigenous people
or quilombolas who are descendants of runaway slaves he's also not allowing
any more reservations basically in doing this people think that he's putting the
interest of farmers above the interests of native groups this is a huge issue in
Brazil right now because indigenous and land rights were laid out in Brazil's
Constitution there are almost 1 million indigenous citizens in Brazil who are
constantly having to deal with an influx of land invasions since the new
president took office ok guys that is all happy on this story I'm gonna wrap
up this video with some common replies Maher said can we just talk about how
