Survival's director Stephen Corry stated, "Tribal people die because their land is invaded and taken and because they succumb to outside diseases they never knew before. Increasingly now we can add HIV/AIDS to the list of killers.

"It is striking the most vulnerable peoples of all: those who have no grasp of the risks of unprotected sex; no access to condoms; no appropriate treatment; and whose numbers are already small. The first solution is the simplest - governments must ensure tribal lands are properly protected."

Unspeakably tragic.

Isn't it Masbury?

Same old shit, different day. My NA ancestors were killed in their millions before they ever had the dubious honor of beholding a euroface. This is just another go-around for South American indigenous peoples. They were initially decimated by euro-disease 500 years ago.

very sad and very true

It's a shame to know that civilized people are doing that.

"civilized" you say?
