RIO DE JANEIRO (Reuters) - Amazon Indians from one of the world's last uncontacted tribes have been photographed from the air, with striking images released on Thursday showing them painted bright red and brandishing bows and arrows.

The photographs of the tribe near the border between Brazil and Peru are rare evidence that such groups exist. A Brazilian official involved in the expedition said many of them are in increasing danger from illegal logging.

Of more than 100 uncontacted tribes worldwide, more than half live in either Brazilor Peru, Survival International says. It says all are in grave danger of being forced off their land, killed and ravaged by new diseases.

Well 2 words came to mind when I saw pictures of the uncontacted, Amazon tribe - “Wrong Turn”.  Yes, as in the Eliza Dushku made for HBO3 movie when a group of friends take a (wait for it) “wrong turn” in the middle of the Appalachians. Anybody remember that movie?  No?  Anyway, what's the deal with the guy in gray? What is that their road jersey? Grab a fucking weapon dude. There's NPR helicopters overhead! And how long until MGM moves in and puts in a casino?  Oh, it’ll happen.  If 1000 years of history is any guide - whenever uncontested land, Indians and the white man are involved, you know slot machines and craps tables are just around the corner.
