Are they completely unaware of what and how the modern world works.
Imagine it, you are pratically an alien inhabitant of earth.
This website suggest there are still tribes out there yet to be contacted.

The chance of discovering a true 'no notion that we're all out there' tribe is extremely slim but there are tribes out there that have had no direct with the rest of mankind.
I took time out to do a trip into the upper reaches of the amazon, about 8 years ago, and I travelled into the deep jungle with a native interpretor and 2 natives guys for 5 days. Absolutely amazing after spending a couple of days going up an isiolated tributory, we slept on the shore of a 17km lagoon that was so isolated birds that had no fear when you approached because they just didn't know man.
The native guys described (through the interpretor) that once in while they saw the old people. I first tghought they meant 'old' old people however they explained that the old people were the people who inhabited the region before the spanish arrived and wiped out 90% of the population of the amazon basin by introducing european diseases that they had no resistance to.
That was a long time ago and it seems that nearly all the amazon natives now have some european blood in them but a few remote tribes survived the historic disease cull by staying separate and they've kept that up right down the generations.
The guys I was with said that they only ever saw them from a distance, or came across old sleeping patches or sap cuts in tree bark (they milk the trees for sap for medical and other uses . . think rubber etc.), but that they would never try to track them because they were the keepers of the forest and that demanded respect because they could curse you . .
So, tribes unknown to us are out there in the more remote parts of South America but they don't think they're on their own - they're just avoiding us is all and for very good reason to.

Interesting topic this.
I had a thought though, we talk about 'uncontacted tribes' and immediately our thoughts are drawn to the Amazon. The Amazon is vast and contains lots of unexplored areas but it isn't the most unexplored place on Earth. That title belongs to the Pacific Ocean. So is it not possible that there is an island somewhere out there in the Pacific that man once stumbled upon (maybe a former land bridge that is no more say) and nobody has visited since?
I honestly don't know if this is a valid possibility, interested in hearing your thoughts on it.
