Remember the blog post from a while back where I put up pictures of a supposedly "undiscovered" Indian tribe located near the border of Brazil and Peru?
Remember how disappointed I said I was going to be if it turned out to be a hoax?
Well, according to this story part of it was a hoax. The tribe has actually been known about for a long time - but until this fly over there had been no previous contact with them. The photographer took the picture and fudged the details of the story to try and make a point about the logging industry.
So, I'm disappointed that they weren't newly discovered, but happy, at least, that the photos weren't staged or part of a new Jack Black movie or something.
