‘The last free people on the planet'

In small pockets around the world live isolated indigenous communities. It’s important for humanity these peoples exist… they’re the last free people on this planet.’

Research Questions
What numbers are we talking? How many isolated tribes have been discovered? How many are there estimated to be? Have the tribes been given names?

Where in Brazil? Specific areas? Have areas been zoned off or protected by the Brazilian Gov't?
Are there dedicated gov't organisations whose job it is to identify & protect these people?

Many of these groups have tragic histories of encounters with outsiders — too much ‘contact’ — where they fought to preserve their isolation and, usually, came up much worse off than their more numerous intrude6rs.


Are there any success stories? Tribes successfully protected ........
Are there any tragic stories where tribes have been wiped out in recent history?

The uncontacted tribe in theBBC video you watched has been monitored by the Brazilian government for 20 years, and lives in a reserve set up to protect uncontacted tribes........WHERE? WHO?

FUNAI (Brazil’s National Foundation of the Indian) - What do they do, how do they do it? Are they successful?

Unit 2 Geographical Investigation GCE AQA Secondary Data

Possible secondary data sources include:

1. previous research by Dubai College students to compare results over time
2. internet research (google Scholar) for arid channel studies especially in North America, for example, click here.  It's a bit advanced for AS, but you get the idea.
3. internet research comparing normal rivers in the UK in terms of channel characteristics and sediment changes
4. Google maps and satellite images for pre-fieldwork assessments including risk assessment. Also, to help with analysis of data, for example relating data to a confluence
5. make the point that this is a very under researched area especially in the United Arab Emirates and that you were trying to apply hydrological theory to the channels that you were studying
