In 2007, FUNAI reported that it had confirmed the presence of 67 different uncontacted tribes in Brazil, an increase from 40 in 2005. With this addition Brazil has now surpassed New Guinea as the country having the largest number of uncontacted peoples. Indigenous groups such as the Yanomamo and Kayapo have been living in the Amazon for thousands of years, slowly accumulating a detailed knowledge of the rainforest and methods to subsist from it. Ururu, the oldest member of the Akuntsu tribe, has died. The Akuntsu tribe in the Brazilian Amazon has lost its oldest member, Ururú, leaving the tribe with only five surviving members. Ururú was the oldest member of this close-knit, tiny group and an integral part of it. Despite the occasional tourist visit, the Matses tribe have been able to largely maintain their traditional ways. It is only ceremonial cannibalism which has fallen out of practice in the 21st century. This ancient ceremony allowed the tribe to absorb the spirits of their ancestors.
