The Brazilian Aboriginal Foundation confirmed on August 27 that the last member of a unique tribe has died. The member is a man of about 60 years old. He is unknown, because he often digs holes and hunting, hiding in the cave, and people call him a "hole man". Since being discovered by the National Aboriginal Foundation of the Brazil in 1996, this "cave man" has lived alone in the rainforest in the Aboriginal area of ​​Tanaru, Rondonia, northwestern Brazil for 26 years. The death of him alone also meant the death of that tribe.

Maybe I have a lot of time

The Brazil National Aboriginal Foundation stated that on August 23, the body of the "cave people" was found on a hammock outside his cottage, covering a macato feather. Marcelo Dus Santos, an expert in Brazil's study of Aboriginal people, said that the "cave people" may feel that they have little time, and they put feathers on their bodies. "He waited for the coming of death, and there was no trace of violent fighting at the scene." Based on this, "cave people" should be natural death. Dus Santos also speculated that the death of the "cave people" was probably 40 to 50 days before the corpse was found. The "cave people" cottage houses and things inside the house are well preserved, which shows that no one invades his "territory". The researchers will conduct a corpse inspection of the "cave people" to determine whether he has infected the disease.

In fact, people have known the existence of "cave people", but because he has long avoided contact with the outside world for a long time, no one knows his name, what language, and which ethnic group belongs to, but his maverick and long -term residence live Name, his life appears in a documentary, and often appears about his reports and videos -but all the news about him is fragmented. He is hostile to outsiders. It is reported that one time he went to a place to a place The staff of the National Aboriginal Foundation of Brazil shot an arrow and was in the lungs of the other party. Since then, the foundation has decided to let the "cave people" live alone in the forest and no longer disturb.

The back of "Cave Man"

The last time the "Hole" was captured 4 years ago. In 2018, the National Aboriginal Foundation of the Brazil accidentally took him in the rainforest. At that time, he was naked and only tied a fence in his waist. He was trying to cut the tree with something like an ax. Later, he hid, and only the homemade spear appeared in the grass, showing his unwillingness to outsiders. No one has seen him afterwards. The National Aboriginal Foundation of the Brazil has only seen his cottage houses and dig caves several times occasionally. Some caves are covered with spikes. Essence

Elg, who found the "cave people" remains, said that over 50 cottages have been built in the "cave people" over the years, and there are a cave of about 3 meters deep in the house. Elg believes that the cave may have some kind of soul or religious significance, and some people think that these caves are used to hide. Researchers also found that "holes" will grow corn, cassava and other crops, build houses with wheat straw and thatch, and collect honey, papaya, banana and other fruits. There are also reports that he often draws on the bark.

The entire tribe is only him alone

The hidden whereabouts of the "cave people" are related to the suffering of the outsiders brought to their tribes. It seems that since he was young, all this began: the area where they lived in the jungle bordering Bolivia, which was surrounded by huge pastures around Brazil. Essence In the 1970s, the then farmer and mine owner wanted to occupy the land of the tribe. Most members of the "Caveman" tribe were killed. By 1995, only 7 people in the entire tribe were attacked by illegal miners, and 6 of them were killed, and the "cave people" became the only survivor. In the 1990s, their village ruins were also destroyed by tractors. It was not until 1996 that the Brazilian Aboriginal Foundation discovered that there was such a personal living. "He doesn't trust anyone, because he has had many painful experiences with non -aboriginal people." Dus Santos said, "We want to build a dialogue and provide some corn and arrows, but he is very scared and shows offensiveness. . We have to respect his loneliness. "

According to the Brazilian Constitution, the indigenous people have the right to continue to live in their traditional place of residence. In order to prevent the "cave people" from being disturbed, the Brazilian government established a Tanaru Aboriginal area in Rondeon in 1997. This area of ​​about 8,000 hectares is like a small island in the rainforest. Wandering. Even so, the "cave people" still face violence from all parties. In 2009, he was shot and was shot. It was said that the farmers against the government who opposed the government to protect the land. In order to ensure the safety of the "cave people", the Brazilian Aboriginal Foundation spontaneously discovered him to monitor the areas of his residence. Elg also discovered that the "cave people" had died in recent routine patrols.

"International Survival Organization" is a non -profit organization dedicated to protecting the rights and interests of the indigenous people. The organization warns that there are about 240 aboriginal tribes in Brazil. They are facing survival threats because illegal miningers, ligaes and farmers occupy land. The organization researcher Fiona Watson believes that the death of the "hole people" is a "racial extinction". This kind of violence and cruelty also represent the indigenous people's own resistance. "" We can only imagine how horrible scenes he has witnessed in his life. After the other people were killed, what kind of loneliness he experienced . But he resolutely rejected any external contact and clearly conveyed the signal that only wanted to stay alone. "

"He represents human diversity"

The death of the "cave people" represents the demise of his tribe, but he has received the attention of public opinion. In the depths of the rain forest, there are still many "unprepared tribes" who are unknowingly dying. "Unprepared tribe" refers to a group that does not have continuous contact with the outside world. These Aboriginal people are isolated from the world, little known, or they are not recorded at all. Outsiders know almost nothing about their number, language, or culture. The United States "New York Times" reported that the Brazil National Aboriginal Foundation reported at least 114 signs of activity of the primitive tribes that is isolated from the world, of which only 28 primitive tribes were confirmed, and the remaining 86 tribes have never received the Brazilian government. protection of.

Moreover, the existence of the Aboriginal tribe was also affected by policies. Brazilian President Bosonaro vigorously promoted the cutting of Amazon Sun Yulin, which brought a new threat to the "unprepared tribes" deep in the rain forest.巴西原住民宣教协会近期发布的数据显示，博索纳罗2019年上台以来，针对巴西那些本来受保护的原住民地区的入侵和非法采矿事件增加了近3倍，从2018年的109起上升到From 305 in 2021.

"They are not lost in time. They are contemporary people and represent human diversity." After the "Caveman" in 2018, Fiona Watson said, "They should The lifestyle is valued and respected. "According to Brazil's 2010 census, the country has about 900,000 original residents and less than 0.5%of the total population. According to data from the Ministry of Labor and Social Welfare of Brazil, there were 7,286 laws of legal employment in Brazil in 2020, a decrease of 1080 people from 2019 and a decrease of 7,554 from 2018. The Aboriginal Territory is registered every few years. After the death of the "Cave", the Aboriginal rights organization of Brazil is calling for permanent protection to the Tanaru area.
