Dramatic drone footage offers a glimpse into the lives of uncontacted indigenous tribes living deep within remote regions around the world.
These striking images, captured by G. Miranda on behalf of Survival International, provide an aerial perspective on various tribes, including the Sentinelese living on the isolated North Sentinel Island in India.
Additionally, the photos depict Amazonian tribes residing near the Javari River valley, close to the Peru border in Brazil.
The video has garnered over 3.5 million views since its posting on the Death Island Expeditions YouTube page in 2018. The footage shows small settlements and homes. Additionally, the tribe's people were armed with bows, gazing directly at the drone or the photographic equipment.
Many people were surprised when they saw the first images of this tribe.
One person said: It blows my mind how different our lives are. The fact that they don't even know about the existence of grocery stores, factories, phones, social media, everything that makes our society what it is. It's so surreal.
A second wrote: Imagine what their stories and what their vision of history is like, imagine all the wildlife we don't know about on that island.
A third commented: Amazing how you can see how badly humans have damaged the earth when you see how beautiful and natural this island is

Another video was filmed from an aerial vantage point, capturing a vast expanse of the dense Amazon rainforest located in the remote western region of northern Brazil.
The footage showed a group of indigenous people from a tribe that has never had any contact with the outside world. Members of this enigmatic tribe can be observed walking through the jungle near a clearing.
According to Funai, the tribe's name or ethnic identity remains unknown because this group has never been seen before, and no contact has ever been made
Nevertheless, Funai posits that at least 16 other tribes exist within this forest, and they too have never been in contact with modern civilization.
Funai dispatched its experts on a journey spanning over 190 miles into the expansive 53,000-square-mile Vale do Javari reservation, situated along the borders of Colombia and Peru. This mission was undertaken in response to reports of illegal hunters posing a threat to these tribes.
Bruno Pereira, the coordinator for Funai's isolated indigenous peoples, noted that this expedition marked the first instance of using drones to capture footage of indigenous peoples, and remarkably, the drones remained undetected by the tribespeople during five separate flights.
He said: 'The use of drones provided safety both for the indigenous people and for the FUNAI team.
Accroding to Wallace Bastos, FUNAI's president. saying: 'These images have the power to make society and the government reflect on the importance of protecting these groups'.
Mr. Pereira emphasized that there are no plans to establish contact with this or any of Brazil's uncontacted tribes.
He said: 'We respect their isolation. Their isolation will remain until the day they decide against it, or until an extreme situation requires the State to make contact.'
