The dynamics of this situation are weird. Leave them uncontacted for however long out of principle, monitor them from above, commit to preserving their culture, but then intervene and try to manufacture a truce between tribes (thereby interfering with their culture) because <i>we</i> want to keep them around.<p>&quot;Hey guys, uh, you know, we were pretty happy to just let you do whatever, but we&#x27;ve been watching you for a while and you&#x27;ve started taking risks. We&#x27;re not real fond of risks. Would you prefer not taking risks for us please? It would make us feel much better about letting you do whatever you like if you didn&#x27;t take any risks.&quot;

Which nation should they belong to? They likely consider themselves to be their own &#x27;nation&#x27;, and have for a long time. Simply because Brazil is now a thing, does not necessarily mean that Brazil should own these people and that these people should consider themselves to be a part of Brazil and be subject to its laws. There are arguments either way.<p>You assume that these people have no &#x27;law&#x27; of their own. Though I cannot say either, it is entirely possible that distinguish between the ways a person is killed and they are punished accordingly. Simply because it is not <i>your</i> law doesn&#x27;t mean they don&#x27;t have their own.<p>The article states these tribes are rivals. They may consider themselves at war. Soldiers are not tried for killing other soldiers (within reason) in wartime, so why should rival tribesmen be tried for killing other tribesmen when they are at war?

If you find this story intriguing, the book &quot;Spirit of the Rainforest: A Yanomamo Shaman&#x27;s Story&quot; is an amazing journey into a similar culture of cyclical violence between neighboring tribes.

This is a horribly cynical interpretation but the new Brazilian President has said he wants to open the Amazon to logging and he doesn&#x27;t care much about the indigenous people[0]<p>Of course if he tries anything the international community etc will protest, but if this &#x27;rescue mission&#x27; (read: death squad with plausible deniability) can&#x27;t stop the &#x27;catastrophic jungle war&#x27; in time then the tribes kill each other off, there&#x27;s no outcry and the logging begins.<p>[0]<a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.theguardian.com&#x2F;commentisfree&#x2F;2018&#x2F;dec&#x2F;31&#x2F;tribes-brazil-genocide-jair-bolsonaro" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.theguardian.com&#x2F;commentisfree&#x2F;2018&#x2F;dec&#x2F;31&#x2F;tribes...</a>
