Proponents of contact, however, argue the idea of tribes choosing to
avoid the modern world is romanticized, that Uncontacted peoples may want access to technological and medical innovations,
and- more importantly- the Machu-Piro's increasing presence in open territory suggests that they want to interact with us.
