'Man of the hole', the last member of an uncontacted tribe, dies in the Amazon

There are tribes that have not been discovered yet. I feel sorry for the indigenous people who want nothing but to live as they have for thousands of years. Some of them are killed outright for the land and the lumber. Others see the encroachment of loggers and farmers and move from their ancestral lands to escape and find lands that provide food.
If contact is made, they are highly susceptible to common diseases and a vast majority of them will die. I wish we could show them respect and kindness. The elders of pristine and ancient societies share a significant constant - they want to live as they always have and don't want to see their culture die.
