Though they were well-known to Westerners for their giant lip plugs, they wanted nothing to do with any sort of government. The Surma lived in groups of a few hundred, and carried on with their humble cattle ranching for centuries while colonization, World Wars, and struggles for independence were going on all around them. The Man of the Hole There is a man currently living in isolation in the Brazilian rainforest. He has been there for at least 15 years. He builds his own palm huts and digs five-foot-deep rectangular holes in the middle of each. We don't know what he uses them for, because these huts are abandoned as soon as anybody gets anywhere near them. No other people in the area build huts like this, which has led researchers to believe that this man is the last surviving member of his tribe. No one knows what language he speaks or the name of his ex-tribe. The Brazilian Tribes The majority of the world's isolated tribes live in Brazil. Most of the indigenous population died due to European diseases and warfare. Ever today, the uncontacted Awá and Maku are completely nomadic, living entirely by hunting and gathering in the Amazon. The Korowai Tribe The Korowai tribe of Papua was first contacted in the 1970s by archaeologists and missionaries, at which point they were still using stone tools and were living in wooden treehouses. Until 1970, they were unaware of the existence of any people besides themselves. They avoided the modern world for so long, because they believed that the entire world would be destroyed by an earthquake, if they ever changed their customs. The Mashco-Piro Tribe The Mashco-Piro are an indigenous tribe of nomadic hunter-gatherers who inhabit the remote regions of the Amazon rainforest. They live in Manu Park in the Madre de Dios Region in Peru. They have in the past actively avoided contact with non-native peoples. In 1998, their number was estimated to be around 100 to 250. This is an increase from the 1976 estimated population of 20 to 100. Pintupi Nine Tribe The Pintupi Nine were a group of nine Pintupi people who lived a traditional hunter-gatherer desert-dwelling life in Australia's Gibson Desert until 1984. They are sometimes also referred to as "the lost tribe". They are believed to be the last Aborigines to have been living this way. The Sentinelese Tribe The Sentinelese are a tribe of about 250 -- 500 people who live on North Sentinel Island, between India and Thailand. They are one of the Andamanese indigenous peoples and one of the most uncontacted peoples of the Andaman Islands. We don't know much more than that, because every time the Sentinelese receive a visitor, they greet him with a hail of arrows. They are noted for vigorously resisting attempts at contact by outsiders. The Sentinelese maintain an essentially hunter-gatherer society subsisting through hunting, fishing, and collecting wild plants. There is no evidence of either agricultural practices or methods of producing fire. Their language remains unclassified. It is estimated that they have lived on their island for 60,000 years.
