Captivating footage has emerged of the last known survivor of an Amazonian tribe murdered by farmers over two decades ago.

Known as 'the indigenous man in the hole', the tribesman has been captured on video by Government officials in the Brazilian state of Rondonia.

He is seen half naked attempting to fell a tree and is thought to have his own papaya and corn plantations that surround his homemade hut made of trees.

Experts first discovered him in the jungle in 1996 and his face was only filmed for the first time in 1998.

1. Heavens... what a tragic story.

First, "do no harm" seems to be the approach--one with which I agree. But, how damned sad...

Ishi (c. 1861 – March 25, 1916) was the last known member of the Native American Yahi people from the state of California in the United States. The Yana were destroyed during the California Genocide in the 19th century. Ishi, who was widely acclaimed as the "last wild Indian" in America, lived most of his life isolated from modern American culture. In 1911, aged 50, he emerged near the foothills of Lassen Peak in Northern California.
