Mashco-Piro Indians A Lost Amazon Tribe

From www.thesun.co.uk News Thu, 02 Feb 2012

First pictures of lost Amazon tribe 

A LOST tribe is captured on camera for the first time — before vanishing back into the Amazon rainforest again.

The Mashco-Piro Indians of Peru lined up along a riverbank to beg for cooking pots from passing boats.
They are believed to have finally rumbled the outside world as their jungle hideaway increasingly falls victim to loggers and firms drilling for oil and gas. The natives' strange tongue was unintelligible to all but a lone villager in Madre de Dios — an Indian himself.
But after befriending the tribe they shot him in the heart with a bow and arrow. An exasperated archaeologist said: "Now that he's dead it's impossible to make contact."

Up close one year later: startling new photos of uncontacted Indians released

Today's photos are the closest sightings of uncontacted Indians ever recorded on camera

Survival International has released close-up pictures of uncontacted Indians, exactly a year after aerial photos from Brazil astonished the world.
The new photographs taken in south-east Peru show an uncontacted family from the Mashco-Piro tribe.
The Mashco-Piro are known to inhabit the Manú National Park, but sightings of them have increased in recent months.
Many blame illegal logging in and around the park and low flying helicopters from nearby oil and gas projects, for forcibly displacing the Indians from their forest homes.
The Mashco-Piro are just one of around 100 uncontacted tribes in the world.
Exactly this time last year, Survival’s release of pictures of a healthy community of uncontacted Indians in Brazil was widely reported.
Today’s photos are the most detailed sightings of uncontacted Indians ever recorded on camera.

But the danger of contacting tribes who choose to remain isolated was reaffirmed by the recent death of an indigenous Matsigenka man.
Nicolás “Shaco” Flores was shot by an uncontacted tribe’s arrow near the Manú National Park in Peru. He had been leaving food and gifts for a small group of Mashco-Piro Indians for the last 20 years.
Glenn Shepard, an anthropologist and friend of the victim, wrote in his blog and in Anthropology News, ‘Shaco’s death is a tragedy: he was a kind, courageous and knowledgeable man. He believed he was helping the Mashco-Piro. And yet in this tragic incident, the Mashco-Piro have once again expressed their adamant desire to be left alone’.

Beatriz Huertas, a Peruvian expert on uncontacted tribes, told Survival the case is ‘unusual, complex and extremely delicate’.
‘Contact could happen at any time,’ Huertas said, ‘we must implement preventative measures and a contingency plan with local authorities as soon as possible to ensure this does not happen again.’
Last year Survival wrote to SERNANP, Peru’s Ministry for Protected Areas, expressing its concern at a video showing tourists leaving clothes for the Indians on riverbanks.
The area was subsequently closed off to tourists and an emergency warning issued to local residents.

Indian Affairs Department INDEPA plans to set up a guard post to protect both local people and the uncontacted group.
Survival’s Director Stephen Corry said today: ‘One year later these photos provide yet more overwhelming evidence of the existence of uncontacted tribes. It is no longer acceptable for governments, companies or anthropologists to deny this. First contact is always dangerous and frequently fatal – both for the tribe and those attempting to contact them. The Indians’ wish to be left alone should be respected.’

"Bunyi Aneh di Kota Samarahan" adalah bunyi dari kilang minyak sawit? || "Strange sound at Kota Samarahan" is sound from palm oil mill?

Gambar Hiasan

Tok da update pasal bunyi aneh yang kedengaran di kota samarahan pada 11 & 12 januari 2012 riya. Menurut kajian yang telah dipolah cdak Jawatankuasa Siasatan Ngauman Langit yang ditubuhkan kerajaan (Sky Roar) bunyi ya tek tegal aktiviti kilang sawit milik FELCRA di Kampung Endap,Kota Samarahan,Sarawak.

Jawatankuasa Siasatan Ngauman Langit dah molah beberapa kaedah siasatan seperti menemu bual saksi-saksi kejadian,mengenal pasti sumber potensi punca bunyi,membuat siasatan berkaitan,mendapatkan khidmat pakar tempatan menganalisis audio bunyi berkenaan dan analisis maklum balas yang diterima dari orang ramai.

Penolong Pengurus kilang sawit ya, Yusmizan Des madah "pihak kilang menjalankan penentukuran (setting) dan pengujian tekanan dandang secara auto yang mengakibatkan pelepasan wap akibat lebihan tekanan dandang secara berkala yang mana proses tersebut telah menghasilkan bunyi yang didakwa sebagai ‘ngauman langit’ oleh penduduk setempat.Pelepasan tekanan dandang adalah bagi tujuan mengekalkan tekanan dandang pada nilai yang telah ditetapkan semasa aktiviti pemprosesan kelapa sawit."

Corong lepasan wap tek cun nuju arah kampung tempat saksi nengga bunyi ya. Cdak da molah demonstrasi balit penghasilan bunyi pelepasan wap dandang ya tek oleh pihak kilang telah disaksikan dikpun oleh jawatankuasa ngan saksi berkaitan dan kesemua mereka berpuas hati dengan persamaan bunyi proses ya ngan rakaman ngauman seperti yang telah dilaporkan sebelum tok.

Tapi cdak masih molah siasatan untuk mendapatkan bukti secara saintifik pakey mengesahkan agik punya bunyi ya tek. so setakat tok..penduduk Kota Samarahan sik perlu la binggong gik pasal bunyi ya.

Rumble just sound from palm oil mill, after all


Posted on February 1, 2012, Wednesday

KUCHING: The so-called ‘rumble in the sky’ over Kota Samarahan near here on Jan 11 and 12 was explained by the Ministry of Science, Technology and Innovation as the whistling sound of steam released through a vent in a Felcra palm oil mill.

It said the whistling sound was due to steam which the factory released to the air in the wee hours of Jan 11 and 12 when it was in operation.

This was confirmed by the deputy general manager of the factory Yusmizan Desa when a team of investigators from the department, National Space Agency and Meteorological Department came to see him.

However Deputy Minister of Science, Technology and Innovation Datuk Fadillah Yusuf in a press statement yesterday said he was still cautious.

He described the explanation provided by his team of investigators and the factory located at Kampung Endap as only based on their initial finding.

The probe was made following public queries and suspicions that it was supernatural.
Among the claims by residents were that the sounds were linked to an earthquake that occurred on Jan 11 in Sumatera and effects of the High Frequency Active Auroral Research Programme (HAARP) conducted by the US to study change of weather pattern.

The probe team, Fadillah said, used various methodologies including interviewing witnesses, identifying the possible sources, getting opinions from local experts over the sounds, getting feedbacks from the residents again and follow-ups.

The factory was also required to conduct several demonstrations of the processes they did on Jan 11 and 12.

The rumble in the sky was the talk of the town and various versions were put forward by residents when explanation was not done immediately.
