Are there still tribes and indians in the world who live remotely from any modern civilization?

Question

Are there still tribes and other human groups in the world who have never seen any modern civilization such as car, TV, internet

They use rocks, wood and branches rather than plastic ustensils

They don't travel, they dont know about America, they have never heard about 9-11

Maybe they have not even seen a plane or a photographer from PBS or national geographic or Nicolas Hulot

Is this still possible to find? Where? Brazil? Indonesia? About how many? Estimates? (i mean don't bother them, leave nature intact).

Answer 1

Yes, but they are rapidly disappearing due to being overrun by anthropologists attempting to study them.  The Yanomamo in Brazil were a remote & newly discovered tribe some 30 yrs ago & now they wear T shirts with names of college teams.

While in Siberia ( back in 73) I did see several tribes protected by law from contact (by the USSR) at a distance through binoculars. They had raindeer & dogs... I understood the government feared modern diseases would kill them. I don't know if that has changed.

I forgot to mention that the biggest danger to tribes that've had no contact with the outside World are missionaries that are likely to exterminate them with diseases in the name of God. They seem determined to make Christians of them... regardless of what it does to them.

Answer 2

I don't know how true this is but I heard about islands around the pacific with cannibalism tribes, this islands are unexplored and dangerous.

Answer 3

No one knows precisely how many people live in isolation from the industrial-technological world. Many of these people, perhaps thousands, are believed to thrive in the remote stretches of the Amazon River Basin of South America. Anthropologists and indigenous rights groups say evidence for the existence of these remote tribes is heard in stories of contact with other indigenous groups, deduced from abandoned dwellings, and seen by developers planning to extract resources from the forests.

Brazil is believed to have the largest populations of indigenous people living in isolation from the outside world. The government-established National Indian Foundation (FUNAI) estimates there are more than 50 such groups and has established several reserves to protect their isolation.

Evidence for other populations is known from Peru, Colombia, and Ecuador, said David Rothschild, co-director of Amazon Alliance in Washington, D.C., another group that works to protect the rights of indigenous peoples in isolation.

Some of these groups are truly uncontacted, having no direct knowledge of the outside world. Other groups are actively choosing to live in isolation. "They know the outside world exists and they want nothing to do with it," said Rothschild.

Answer 4

Yes, except for my computer, i live in a cave and have no other contact with any civilization!

Answer 5

Deep in the jungles of Africa...  Some have never seen a white man/woman....  The Pigmy's too, have never known civilization...   Grant M in Pennsylvania

Answer 6

Yes there are, how about in the jungles of amazon in brazil, or ethnic tribes in the philippines. the world is a big place, there are still places which hasn't been explored yet and there are places that are meant to stay hidden and undiscovered

Answer 7

There are some tribes (If you're talking about Indians from India) who are protected from exposure from modern civilization. I've seen some rare footage on tv of some tribe that exists in Andaman and nicobar islands or Lakshwadeep islands (near India) who don't even wear clothes and look completely ancient. The Government has restricted people from going there and influencing their lifestyle. If anybody does try and go there to film them, it would be illegal and he/she would have to face legal consequences.
