This article delivers a compared exercise of contact between two Amazonian peoples. The populational groups isolated after contact see their lives dramatically affected. This reality seems to be largely unknown or largely dismissed by Colombian society, even though the survival of human groups is at stake here. Through a comprehensive tracking of sources, this article reconstructs both cases under similar analysis categories, allowing to underpin the right to life of these two peoples and our accountability towards them.

Keywords : Amazonian region; isolated peoples; Waimiri-Atroari people; Nukak people; nomadic peoples; contact..
