I got a request from a reader to make a new post so my blog wasn't featuring the naked little girl photographed by Australian Bill Henson.
So I've decided to relay another Australian news article about naked people: a previously uncontacted South American tribe was filmed by a flyover plane, renewing Western interest in the plight of Indians being forced from their lands by illegal logging.
The first flyover yielded shots of the villagers slowly reacting to the aircraft, and by the second flyover the village had readied itself for battle with the unknown: red-painted warriors hefted bows and spears, accompanied by a woman painted in black, while younger tribes members crouched under the protection of the huts.

Still, the online exploration was not entirely unfruitful. A poster cited David Attenborough's fascinating hour-long documentary A Blank on the Map: First Contact with a Tribe, which follows more than 100 explorers as they travel through the depths of the unexplored Amazon in an effort to search out one of the few remaining undiscovered tribes. While a bit slow to start, I definitely recommend watching it if you are interested in this sort of thing.
