Prime Directive: Violated (genghis)

Have we learned nothing from our disastrous first contacts with the Romulans and Minbari?

From CNN:

”Dramatic photographs have emerged, showing one of the few remaining peoples on earth thought to have had no contact with the outside world.”

“Taken from a small airplane, the photos show men outside thostaed communal huts, necks craned upward, pointing bows toward the air in a remote corner of the Amazonian rainforest”

No mention of arrows and/or whether or not they’re nuclear-tipped.

”More than 100 uncontacted tribes remain worldwide. About half live in the remote reaches of the Amazonian rainforest in Peru or Brazil near the recently photographed tribe, according to Survival International, a nonprofit group that advocates for the rights of indigenous people. "All are in grave danger of being forced off their land, killed or decimated by new diseases," the organization said Thursday.”

(there is absolutely no truth to the rumors that Jeff Bezos intends to sue Brazil for trademark infringements.)

UPDATE [Dave in Texas]: They have at least one anti-aircraft battery.
