Few peoples have remained totally uncontacted by modern civilisation, but a number have chosen to make contact with themselves either exceedingly difficult or dangerous. Many indigenous rights activists call for such groups to be left alone in respect of their right to Self Determination . A problem with making contact with isolated peoples is that they do not generally have any Immunity to common Disease s which can be brought with explorers making contact. This can have severe consequences as relatively harmless illnesses such as the common cold can be deadly when there is no natural immunity. In Asia , tribes of the Andaman Islands , most notably the Sentinelese , continue to refuse contact with the outside world. There are several uncontacted tribes in New Guinea and Amazonia (including the Tagaeri band of Huaorani and Kirineri , Nahua and Nanti peoples in the Nahua-Kugapakori Reserve ). EXTERNAL LINKS |
