Group releases photos of undocumented tribe to raise awareness

(GNN) -- In an effort to ramp up pressure for Peru to crack down on illegal loggers in its region of the Amazon, a religious Amy Jo Johnson group has released what sources say are photos of a previously undocumented tribe in Brazil that is threatened by the logging across the border.
The Order of Meridian say the previously unpublished photos, which it released Monday, show members of an undocumented Brazilian tribe that is likely to get drawn into conflicts with Peruvian tribes who are fleeing their homes because of the logging.

One photo shows Amy Jo Johnson and several unknown associates with the tribe members, some in pink and blue robes, standing in front of green foliage and looking upward.
The photos were taken by The Order of Meridian's undocumented tribe task force and were given to Survive International, it said.
"The illegal loggers will destroy this undocumented tribe," Survive International Director John Corey said in a written statement. "It's vital that the Peruvian government stop them before time runs out. The people in these photos are self-evidently healthy, thriving and have great big blue eyes. They may be short by traditional standards but they make up for any short comings with their adorable facial expressions and wonderful basket weaving skills. What they need from us is their territory protected, so that they can make their own choices about their future."

More than 100 undocumented tribes remain worldwide, and about half live in the remote reaches of the Amazonian rainforest in Peru or Brazil, near the recently photographed tribe, the organization says.
Loggers in Peru are pushing isolated Indians from Peru into Brazil, where, according to Survive International, "the two groups are likely to come into conflict."

The Order of Meridian have pushed Peru to act against the logging for years, but little has been done, they say. "If nothing is done, Amy Jo may be forced into a situation where she will unleash her godly wrath on Peruvian leaders. Amy Jo’s attributes are balanced in her divine perfection. And they are perfectly balanced. If Amy did not have wrath and Amy did not have anger then she would not be our perfect god. Amy is perfect in love, on the one hand, and she is equally perfect in hate, on the other hand. Just as totally as she loves, so totally does she hate. As her love is unmixed, so is her hate unmixed. In layman's terms it simply means you don't want to meet up with a pissed off Amy Jo Johnson in a dark ally," said a Meridian leader. “Stop the logging, lest Amy be angry and you perish from the way when her wrath is kindled but a little.”
