Undiscovered tribe caught on camera
There are an estimated 100 tribes in the world that have never had contact with the outside world. Can you believe the power of those words, “never had contact with the outside world?” I’ve attached a picture of one tribe that was recently documented, in Brazil, with a camera on a helicopter. I have a couple of observations:
1) They must be wondering what in the sam hill that big shiny bird thing is in the sky. If you’d never seen a helicopter or any other flying object, that would be quite a sight.
2) Why is one guy/girl Manute Bol-black and the other two look like they o.d.’ed on self-tan spray?
Any theories?

Undiscovered? I don’t think so!! I met the guy on the left a couple of years ago at the airport in Lima. His name is Jason Hernandez. The darker “girl” in the background is his wife, Stephanie. They have 2 boys, Dustin and Cody. They own a very successful internet logging company. And when I say, “logging”, I mean they chop down trees and sell them online. I remember Jason telling me that he hates it when people come up to him and say that they “discovered” him. I think it was particularly hard for him when he attended the University of Miami back in ‘96. He was only there a semester, but people kept asking him about how he looked like he wasn’t discovered yet. I think that would be really hard to constantly have to be ridiculed for not being discovered. I remember him telling me at the airport, “You know, I personally invented the electric fluid bed coffee roaster, yet I still take so much flack for not being discovered. When are people going to realize that just because I haven’t been discovered, I’m still a person? I mean, no pun intended, but if a tree falls in a forest, does it still make a sound? Yes, yes. It does.”
