The Amazon's Last Uncontacted Tribe Summary

The article seems to start telling a story already begun since it mostly tells the last part of the expedition when they found signs of the Flecheiros. This fact is certainly true because after 8 years of the article’s publication, the author wrote a book called “The Unconquered: In Search of the Amazon's Last Uncontacted Tribes” about the entire expedition so that the article was itself like a draft of the book. In the four page of the article, it is shown how the 34 Indians that are part of the expedition prepare themselves by using natural techniques to protect their bodies and by having a wholly monkey as a quick lunch. After that, the author briefly describes how Possuelo is and looks like, and then explains what is happening when the explorers encounter what seems to be a kind of gate to an unknown land where it is assumed the Flecheiros
After all, they found the two men who went missing and thought that the Flecheiros could have been their relatives. In the search of the two men, they found a fresh sign. There was a camp, where they found that the Arrow people were prepared to have a fest with food and dances; however, the uncontacted tribe fled the place because they may have heard the two men around them. In the end, all the explorers are back together and begin the journey to the point where the expedition ends.
To sum up, the article mainly tells us how the expedition develops at the latest stages when they found signs of the Flecheiros; however, the author occasionally interrupts the flow of the story by introducing several facts and problems faced by Possuelo as advocate of the protection of uncontacted people and other facts of another tribe known as Tsohom Djapá .
