Kreen-Akrore

The Kreen-Akrore tribe is probably the most negatively influenced by the West of all of the tribes discussed here. They live near the Tapajós River, and are known as the “tribe that hides from man.” This is because they were once attacked by explorers and were so scared of their guns that they hid from other humans until they finally made contact with the West in 1973. However, foreign diseases killed off half of their tribe, making them weary of the outside world once again. Now, though, they have built new villages and are once again thriving in Amazonia.
