Amazon Tribe The Not-So-Lost Tribe by Mike Krumboltz June 23, 2008 06:09:40 PM Even in an age when cynical sleuths can hyper-analyze stories for truth and accuracy, the occasional hoax still slips through the cracks.
The men in the photo are members of a tribe, but it certainly ain't "lost." In fact, as the photographer, Jos Carlos Meirelles, recently explained, authorities have known about this particular tribe since 1910. The photographer and the agency that released the pictures wanted to make it seem like they were members of a lost tribe in order to call attention to the dangers the logging industry may have on the group.
recently came clean, and news outlets, perhaps embarrassed at having been taken for a ride, have been slow to pick up the story. Now, the word is starting to spread and articles in the Buzz are picking up steam.
