There are many Indian tribes that have always lived in the forest. The Brazilian Government's Indian Agency, knowing what contact with "civilization" was likely to bring to the Indians, tried to protect them against the invading road builders and colonists and the diseases they would bring with them. Search parties were sent out in advance. Reserves were set up. But it was to no avail. Colonists and loggers invaded the reserves, and tragically many Indians succumbed.
Other titles in the series are:
The Rainforest - The mechanics of a rainforest.
The Colonists - Colonists invading the rainforest.
The Development Road - The road to rainforest destruction.
The Rubber Tappers - Rubber tappers live sustainable lifestyle.
The Politicians - Politicians plunder the Amazon rainforest.
The DVD version of this program is recorded on DVD-R which is not compatible with some older DVD players. See the new DVD page for more details.
