These pictures were taken on Tuesday, March 25. They show how a tribe of Indians, considered to be "uncontacted" by anthropologists, reacted to a plane flying over their community in the Amazon basin near the Xinane River in Brazil's Acre state.

Uncontacted tribes are peoples who have no peaceful contact with anyone in the mainstream or dominant society. Uncontacted does not mean they have had no contact with anyone else at all.
According to Survival, an organization for tribal peoples' rights, there are about 100 uncontacted tribes in the world.
