Many of the world's uncontacted tribes are located in South America and New Guinea; including the Sinabo. This tribe of people have been seen in Bolivia near the Yata River, but still many doubt their existence. However, as is the story with many uncontacted tribes, many believe these people practice cannibalism, and native people often stay away from the areas where these tribesmen are known to be located

The Nukaak people are located in Colombia, and may exemplify what you think when someone says Amazonians. The Nukaak are a nomadic group of hunter and gatherers. A few groups of these people have struck the interest of anthropologist, and have recently been contacted. Which has unfortunately led to the death of a large amount of these tribesmen due to diseases. However, some of these people continue to live in isolation, and other researchers have reported these groups to be hostile.

Ayoreo

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day.
