Ethics and Policy Issues around Uncontacted Indigenous Tribes

Unfairness

No one is asking the indigenous people their opinion or for permission or anuythung of the sort, despite it being their land

They have acsess to much less resources / weaponry that colonizers do, making it a less than fair fight

When it comes to defending themselves in a politiclal way, the uncontacted and indigenous tribes don't exalty have a way of hiring legal protection, if they even know anything about the policies and rules we have

Indigenous people have their own way of living

If they are forced out of their own land and into modern society, they don't exactly have the same sort of "Valuable" belongings that we do. This makes it very hard for them to find a new life when their old one is destroyed

Some people are trying to change their ways and not giving them a choice

Assimilation of their culture

Forcing them to relocate

Deforestation has many effects , one of which being the destruction of homes of many

New diseases

Colonizers have a tendancy to bring brand new diseasies to the uncontacted tribes. Their immunity systems have never seen this sicknesses before, making them very weak to it

Some groups of missonaries are trying to force their own culture onto them

Spreading awareness

The "Amazon awareness team" is a group who, as the name says, spreads awareness about topics such as the uncontacted tribes in the amazon

Stop supporting the companies that are involved in deforestation and abuse of the natural resources

DO support the groups such as survival international and the Amazon awareness group

They are groups of indigenous people who either don't know about the outside world, or they know nad simply don't want to be contacted

What is happening that is wrong?

Their land is being stolen and used for agriculutre or money making

They have no say in anything

No say in their land

No say in whether or not they are contacted

No say in what diseases and sicknesses are brought into their community
