Reportedly, the villagers believed that the man from the uncontacted Indigenous Amazon tribe contacted them to ask for fire.

The young man from an Indigenous Amazonian tribe is receiving medical treatment, while authorities prepare to attempt communication with him.

Meanwhile, Brazil’s Fundação Nacional dos Povos Indígenas (National Foundation of Indigenous Peoples, or Funai) estimates around 100 uncontacted Indigenous groups still live deep in the Amazon rainforest.
