Brazilian experts suspect this tribal members have crossed the Peru-Brazil border because the incursion avoid loggers and drug traffickers.
Tribes that are part of the Pano linguistic groups to make contact with the Ashaninka Indian tribe, a native of the northern region of Brazil at the end of June.
The second meeting on the banks of the river tribes Envira in the state of Acre, which borders Peru was documented in a video released later the National Indian Foundation (Funai) Brazil.
In one of the videos it looks a Ashaninka tribal gave bananas to two tribal men's. The tribal man was barely dressed and carrying weapons such as bows and arrows.
Jaminawa Jose Correira, an Ashaninka tribal people who interact with the tribal men, said they came to search for weapons and allies.
"They describe has been attacked by a group of people and many members of the tribe who died from flu and diphtheria," said Jaminawa.
Funai said, after a brief interaction with the Ashaninka tribe, the tribal members back into the forest. However, they returned three weeks later because they were infected with the flu.
The government then sent a medical team to treat the seven members of the tribe who have contracted the flu.
Funai said the Brazilian Amazon region has the largest number of tribes in the world that is around 77 parts. All the tribes have not touched the outside world.
