    • Abstract:
      The article looks at tribes in the Amazon River region and elsewhere that have had no contact with outsiders, focusing on the efforts of other indigenous groups to protect those tribes. It cites the example of tribes living in the Curare-Los Ingleses Indigenous Reserve in Columbia and discusses the range of problems caused when uncontacted tribes have their first encounters with outsiders.
