What's everyone's thoughts on this? Possible in a land like Australia? We're not exactly the Amazon rainforest.
I read this a while ago, and it got me thinking on the whole subject. Just how they came to such a number I have no idea.
'There are around 100 uncontacted tribes in the world, Survival International estimates, of which more than half are in the Brazilian and Peruvian Amazon.'
www.theguardian.com/world/2008/may/30/brazil.conservation1
I very much doubt there are any undiscovered, but there are plenty who have had minimal contact with the white fella and speak virtually no english
Isolation is the reason of course.
The Amazon is the size of Australia minus WA.
There's not exactly freeways running through it.
BTW, how do they know there are 100 uncontacted tribes if nobody has made contact ? 
How the fk do I get a red thumb for that? From somebody in Sydney or Melbourne no doubt.
Considering I and a number of workmates have first hand knowledge of tribes that literally don't speak English, and are living currently in Australia, maybe you'd care to contribute? Love to hear you refute that.
Yeah thought not.
^^ Macro I never said they need to do anything, certainly not 'comply'.
All I said was there are those in Oz who scarcely speak English as they are so far out there and have little contact with white folk.
Stating fact - and peeps are reading into it, it would seem....??
In first place:
-we just killed those natives ( across the World) that do not believable in our God
-then we discriminate them because them because they are not proficient in our language
-then maybe prosecute them because they do not pay Us our taxes and adhere to our law
??
Well, from your point of view you may see those request valid since your sense of superiority
for me neutral observer it is not so obvious
last ones in our area were 2 brothers back in 1987. they had seen aircraft from a distance but not white people.
but there is a large area of thick forest just to the south of us with very few roads that the locals wont go into as they know that the little people who lived there are still in the area.
theres no facts to back it up , just the passed on knowledge
Autochthon, had to Google that one :-One of the earliest known inhabitants of a place.
Who says you don't learn stuff on Seabreeze.
Now Mark think twice !
One day my mates will come from over-solar system to discover this planet "almost completely inhabited"
With such Earth Iron Core we should proceed with digging instantly.
There is not much life forms detected on the surface.
Should we proceed ?
there would be none in Australia who are undiscovered.
There are many in Australia who dont speak any form of english
To enlarge the Indigenouse World it is best practice, to keep
some people in small remote groups and have them learn nothing
except old tribal language which stops them from communicating
leaving then as relics of a by gone year.
its is an alternative world making big money for some
and in a way keeping some as indentured slaves
As for how Mark got red thumbed, I thought that was pretty damn weird too? WTF
Back on topic.
There was Warri and Yatungka, Last of the Nomads in 1977.

Also there is the Pintubi 9 who came "out" of the desert W of Kintore/Kiwikurra in NT in 1984.
simple.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pintupi_Nine
I've heard that the 1st "modern" music they heard was on a Walkman and it was Midnight Oil!
As for now, I don't think so. I've lived out "there" in many very remote communities for lotsa years and there are stories and rumours of relatives who don't want to come in but no proof.
As for 1st contact I have met some of the Pintubi 9 and some older ladies whose 1st contact was a plane and then "Aboriginal Protector". They are all similar stories in that they were $hit scared. Now they are embarrassed and laugh at themselves for their ignorance and nudity. Go figure?
Haha, how did Mark get painted with the racist brush?
Cool links slammin. Got some good reading out of them.
SuperPoop, I am more interested in why you gave yourself that name??
Here is some better shapes than your avatar pic :)
