8. Brazilian Tribes\r
The indigenous tribes of Brazil somehow are able to seek refuge inside the Amazon rain forest of Brazil. The majority of these tribes are concentrated towards border with Colombia, Venezuela and Peru and theyve inhabited the country before European settlers as well. The word Indios was designated by the Portuguese and its still their official name even if it might not be politically correct! Its kind of hard to be a social justice warrior if youre living in a the middle of a rainforest! These people are semi-nomadic, whove survived from hunting the wild animals of the Amazon. Theres an estimation of roughly 67 different completely unconted tribes living in Brazil making it the country with the most isolated societies. But just because they are isolated, doesnt mean they dont have serious firepower. One anthropologist claimes to have seen a bow that was 12 feet tall, that could fire massive spears long distances! Many people will try to avoid these tribes and they are considered to be quite hostile to Europeans.\r

6. The Surma Tribe\r
Another isolated tribe that doesnt always see the need for clothes, the Surma are located in Southern Sudan near the border with ethiopia. Theres about 12 indigenous tribes in this area of Sudan which is almost entirely cut off from the outside world. Its sort of a tough area to get to for foreigners, considering the infrastructure here is quite poor and the remote desolate mountains they live in, dont necessarily make it any easier. This culture is home to quite a few unique rituals which includes things such as stick fighting which is said to help attr a wife. Violence is embedded in their society, and these stick fights can often result in death. These intense battles can involve as many as 20 people on each side and it can even draw large crowds of spectators. They also dont tend to get along well with the neighboring indigenous tribe. Theyre most notable features are the bottom lip piercings by the females of this group. The lip is extremely stretched out to the point where it can be disturbing. The process also involves the removal of two middle bottom teeth. \r

3. Migingo Island\r
Located in the middle of Lake Victoria in Eastern Africa, this isolated community was ually claimed by both Kenya and Uganda in a territorial dispute. Just less than a square mile in area, a fishing community of about 131 people make this place home. Its home a brothel, 4 pub, a pharmacy and some shanty houses. Theres very little vegetation here as you can tell from this photo and the fishing boats you see scattered here, bring in the main source of food. The lake is a key source of water for Africans and controlling this island in important for economical reasons. In 2004, the Ugandan government came to the island, set up a tent with their and a non violent standoff began. Uganda claimed that Kenya was fishing in their waters. They later backed down and said that the island was indeed Kenyan but the waters around the island were mostly Ugandan! This essentially isolates the most densely populated island in Africa. in some technicalities, and keeps them from heading further east. \r

1. The Sentinelese\r
Surrounded by sapphire blue waters and beautiful coral beaches, North Sentinel Island is considered to be not only one of the most dangerous islands but also one of the most isolated. Theres thick, dense rainforest inland but also an isolated society who apparently didnt make their first cont with the outside world until the 1970s. The locals were extremely hostile to the anthropologists attempting to make cont. When they eventually gave up on trying to communicate in person, the indian government resorted to sending helicopter and planes to try to recover the body of a dead fisherman. The Sentinelese who refused to be conted with, ually shot arrows at the aircraft and obviously made the searchers not feel two welcome. To this day, it is illegal for anyone to visit this island! The main reason for this is because more than likely, the tribe will harm anyone who does, which would then result in the Indian government having to retaliate and possibly have to wipe off an entire isolated society. Which never looks good for international relations.
