Stick around to the end of the video where I will be reading out your comments from a
previous video.
10 - Bruce Parry Bruce Parry is a British presenter and documentary
maker as well as a former marine, an explorer, an indigenous rights advocate and author.
Parry fronted a BBC series called TRIBE in which he met with a load of remote tribes
in Africa, Papua New Guinea, The Amazon and Polynesia.
Generally Parry's policy was to leave the isolated tribes alone for fear of introducing
illness to them.
In the series he finds lost tribes and covorts with cannibals....here is a clip of Bruce
and the crew urm... fitting in with the locals.
ROLL CLIP.
In their follow up series, Amazon, the team did actually make first contact with a tribe
and they caught it on camera.
CLIP 2.
It seems that the tribe thought that the arrival of white ghosts in their territory was a sign
the sky would fall.
9 - The New Tribes Mission The New Tribes Mission were a fundamentalist
group of missionaries now known as Ethnos360.
It is likely they changed their name due to the bad press their previous one had attracted.
In the 1980s, the New Tribes Mission decided they wanted to convert Amazonian tribes to
Christianity as they took it upon themselves to decide that they were living in the dark.
They made first contact with the Zo'è tribe of Brazil.
First they dropped gifts over the village and by 1987 they made first real contact.
Sadly, like with a lot of first contact experiences, they brought disease with them and 45 members
of the tribe died from flu or malaria transmitted to them from the Protestants.
The ill health spread further and the missionaries hadn't the supplies to help them.
In the end, the government expelled the missionaries in 1991 and since then the health of the zo
e has been improving.
8 - The Russian Doctors It seems that Russian Physicians were the
first to establish contact with the Surma tribe of Ethiopia in the 1980s.
The Surma women have since been photographed and are known to wear huge lip plates made
out of clay, with the size increased each year.
The bigger the plate, the more beautiful the woman is in their culture.
It seems that the Russians gave the Surma people Kalashnikov rifles.
While they have shunned other eras of outsider culture and civilization, apparently they
liked the guns for protecting their cattle against predators.
7 - The Brazillian Government Employee In 2011, A Brazillian government employee
working for FUNAI stumbled across the Kawahiva tribe.
The FUNAI is the governments agency that looks to protect indigenous tribes and this particular
tribe hadn't been spotted in generations.
In the video, we see naked tribes people - men with spears and a woman carrying a child.
SHOW CLIP.
It is thought that this is the first time the tribe has had contact with a civilian
in decades.
Sadly the tribe is under threat from loggers and farmers.
6 - The Aircraft Flyover In 2008, one of the last remaining uncontacted
tribes was caught on camera from an aircraft flying in the region of the Brazillian Peruvian
boarder.
It is thought that there are between 100 to a couple of THOUSAND small uncontacted tribes
living in the amazon.
It is not known which tribe was caught on camera here as it is thought this was the
first sighting of the tribe.
In the pictures taken we see tribes people have painted their bodies red,yellow and black.
5 - Scott Wallace and the Peruvian Ministry In 2011, Scott Wallace shared footage permitted
for release by the Ministry of the Environment of an uncontacted tribe in Peru.
Scott is a photographer with a special interest in small tribes.
He released a book called The Unconqured about his experience tracking tribes in the deep
amazon.
The footage that he shot shows the moment the islanders spot the camera and their reaction.
Most of them seem to wield spears in self defence.
To be honest, what would you do!
This seems like a natural human instinct.
Next up, something that Scott Wallace talks about extensively on his website, we have
The Miners Who Murdered at number 4 Illegal mining has become a problem along
the Amazonian rivers in Brazil as the practice is massively disturbing indigenous tribes
as well as weakening the land.
It seems miners were overheard in a bar boasting about how they met an uncontacted tribe for
the first time and massacred them.
The miners were drinking at a frontier town and bragged about killing quote un quote wild
Indians.
When some of the miners were apprehended it seems that clay pots and paddles likely made
by the tribe were found in their possession.
As the tribe they allegedly killed are uncontactable and a 12 hour boat trip away, it is unknown
whether or not their drunk boasts about the encounter are true.
3 - Michael Rockefeller You have likely heard of the Rockefeller dynasty.
The Rockefeller centre in New York is an enduring reminder of one of America's richest families.
Michael Rockefeller was the son of Nelson Aldrich Rockefeller, an oil heir, the 49th
Governor of New York and eventually the 41st Vice president of the United States.
In 1961, 23 year old Michael went on a trip to Asmat, New Guinea with the intention of
finding some of the lost tribes and collecting indigenous art.
Rockefeller wrote to his family to say that found the country wild and remote and exciting.
Michael's boat capsized near Otsjanep and it is widely suspected that he was killed
by a small tribe and likely cannibalized.
This is a very sad tale...
2 - Bishop Alejandro Lavaca and Sister Ines Arango
So Two Catholic Missionaries, a Bishop and a Nun, were making first contact with the
Waorani tribe and the Aucas tribe whom they were hoping to convert to Christianity.
Tales as old as time, isn't it.
Here is a picture of the bishop and sister Ines amid their mission.
Before they met with the tribe in 1987, they dropped them gifts to try and gain their friendship.
Sadly for the missionaries, it didn't work.
The Spanish Bishop and Colombian nun were brutally murdered by the tribe in a sacrificial
way.
When the bishops body was found, it contained 67 spear wounds.
The pair had been nailed to the ground and their wounds were filled with leaves to stop
the blood.
Finally at number one we have 1 - John Allen Chau
The North Sentinel Island amid the Indian Ocean has been the home to an uncontactable
indigenous tribe for 60,000 years - the Sentinelese.
They do not want any interference from the outside world and until recently, the tribe
has been spotted only through far off images.
Those unfortunate enough to get close to them have been attacked and often killed.
The tribe have also been known to fire arrows at low flying planes.
It is hard to contact a tribe who have literally no interest in communication.
In 2006 two fisherman who were illegally harvesting crabs were killed by the tribe but in 2018,
John Allen Chau, a 26 year old American Missionary, was sent by the All Nations group to make
contact and live among the tribe, hoping to convert them to Christianity.
He kept a journal of his attempts to spread the word of Jesus - he sang songs and offered
the bible to the tribe...which was shot at and pierced with an arrow by a young boy.
He persisted to no avail and was met with a mixture of laughter and hostility.
It was last reported by the crew who went with him that he was dragged away and killed.
His body was spotted lifeless on the shore.
SO that was the top 10 people who visited uncontacted tribes.
These stories often haven't ended well....
I guess that is what happens when you pursue people that want to be left alone.
What do you think.
Should we be contacting the tribes?
Comments from the Top 10 Scary Massachusetts Urban Legends
Sean Petee said In Auburn, Alabama, there's an university
chapel.
It's haunted by a Civil War ghost of the name of Sydney Grimlett.
He's from England and fought for the Confederates during the American Civil War.
He fought against Sherman during Sherman's march to the sea.
He died of his wounds in Auburn, near the university chapel.
His spirit appeared decades later when the theater group preformed in the chapel.
Later on, people found out he like M&Ms. orange and blue ones in particular.
Those colors are the university's colors.?
