The eldest member of the tribe, Ururu, who was considered the matriarch of the last six survivors, died earlier this month.

The members are all aged between 25 and 50.

Dozens of members of the tribe were reportedly massacred in 1990 during the arrival of migrant workers.

Their case only came to light in 1995 when they were first contacted by investigators who were seeking to gain greater knowledge of who populated their region.
