A tribe of eight to ten Jururei Indians are in danger of extermination as illegal logging operations encroach on their camp.

"Unless Brazil acts now to protect uncontacted tribes, they will disappear off the face of the earth forever. The annihilation of a tribe, however small, is genocide," said Fiona Watson, Campaigns Coordinator of Survival International in London.

They blame a lack of political will and a powerful lobby of cattle ranchers and soybean farmers for fueling deforestation and threatening Brazil's 700,000 Indians.


The Jururei have been fighting back in their own way: boobie traps, bows and arrows.

In the most recent scuffles, Jururei Indians set booby traps with spikes, piercing the foot of one logger.


Fuck yeah.

A "tribe" of 8-10? Sounds more like a group of hippies that moved to the woods to start a commune.
Seriously, with a population that low, they are at the verge of extiction already. Maybe they should merge with another tribe. Then they could set more traps biggrin

That is really a pretty good size for a seminomadic family group.

I figured my meaning would be clearer to a primarily American audience than saying "native Brazilians"
