What is a tribe that remains MOST untouched by the modern world?

Question

One that has not changed, or doesnt even know about modern living and society?

Would it be the Mek tribe?

Answer 1

The Mek are perhaps among the most untouched, at least until all those TV viewers start going there for eco-tours.

It used to be the Yanomomo of the Amazon (first studied systematically by Chagnon) and related tribes ..... I think they've probably been mostly evangelized by missionaries and interrogated to death by eager anthopologists these past few decades, traded with and killed by gold miners, etc.

Answer 2

Amish!

Answer 3

Some of the Andamanese tribes are extremely isolated, the Sentinelese the most. The only thing that proves they are there are the arrows that come flying at helicopters and at the fisherman that get too close to their island. No one's even managed to get a close up look at any of them.

But they probably look like their neighbours, the Jarawa.

Answer 4

Sure, the Mek or the Dani, of Papua, New Guinea, or any of the 200 tribes of the Amazon Jungle, which have the most minimum contact with the 21st Century as we know it!

Answer 5

Mathilda you are well informed. This is a the result of a hands off policy by India.

Answer 6

The "Pudding Tree" Harvesters of Central Madagascar.

They "to this very day" still use brown paper bags to both package and carry their harvest from this rare tree.
