Isolated Tribe Makes Uncomfortable Contact

LIMA, Peru “AP”- Peruvian authorities says they are stressed to keep outsiders away from a clan of before isolated Amazon Indians who began appearing on the banks of a jungle river well-liked with environmental tourists previous year.The behavior of the little group of Mashco-Piro Indians has puzzled scientists, who speak it may be connected to the encroachment of loggers and by low-flying aircraft from nearby usual gas plus oil exploration in the southeastern area of the country. Clan members have been answerable for two bow-and-arrow attacks on people close to the riverbank in Madre de Dios state where officials speak the Indians were first seen previous May. One badly injured a forest ranger in October. The following month, one more fatally pierced the heart of a restricted Matsiguenka Indian, Nicolas "Shaco" Flores, who had long maintained a association with the Mashco-Piro.
