Drone footage captures incredibly rare images of uncontacted people who are cut off from entire world

Remarkable drone footage was able to capture a brief snippet into the lives of people living in tribes who have been separated from the rest of the world.

Due to great advancements of technology, people are more connected than ever.

I, with a few swishes of my fingers or taps on a keyboard, can be speaking and looking at someone on the other side of the planet.

However, there are still some people in this big, wide world who live in remote parts of the world, cut off from the rest of us.

Images, taken by G. Miranda for Survival International, have shown a bird's-eye view of these tribespeople who don’t live modern lives like we do.

These tribespeople included the Sentinelese in a remote part of India, North Sentinel Island, as well as photos from Amazon tribes in Brazil near the Javari River valley by the Peru border.

A video compiling photographs of these uncontacted people has been viewed more than 3.5 million times since being posted on the Death Island Expeditions YouTube page in 2018.

The video shows small settlements and homes, as well as tribespeople. Some images show the tribespeople armed with bows and arrows and looking directly at the drone or photography equipment.

Some YouTube users highlighted how important it was to have images like this and how vastly different the lives of these people are compared to the rest of the world.

“It blows my mind how different our lives are. The fact that they don't even know about the existence of grocery stores, factories, phones, social media, everything that makes our society what it is. It's so surreal,” one user wrote.

FUNAI, the National Indian Foundation, is the Brazilian government body that establishes and carries out policies relating to uncontacted policies relating to indigenous people.

It is also responsible for some of the drone images seen in the video.

The pictures of the uncontacted tribespeople of Brazil were taken in 2008, according to a report by Survival International, a human rights organisation.

“We did the overflight to show their houses, to show they are there, to show they exist,” said uncontacted tribes expert José Carlos dos Reis Meirelles Júnior.

In 2008, Meirelles also noted how the uncontacted tribes of the region were in danger from illegal loggers in Peru which could result in conflict.

“What is happening in this region [of Peru] is a monumental crime against the natural world, the tribes, the fauna and is further testimony to the complete irrationality with which we, the 'civilised' ones, treat the world,” he said.
