A previously undiscovered Amazon tribe was photographed, and the accompany picture to the article is hysterical:

What would you do if you stumbled upon a never-before-discovered race? How would you gain their trust? It's not like you can bring them some beers or some liquor and start drinking. If they're trying to shoot down a plane with arrows - what would they do to a human intruder on foot?

Clearly, you have to go with a group of filibusterers (similar to US expeditions into Cuba) carrying an array of assault weapons and wearing body armour. Also, grenades (smoke and otherwise) should be carried, and the filibusterers should secretly lay proximity mines at any points of possible savage retreat. This will ensure that in a worst-case scenario (where the modern men would have to exterminate the tribe), the "survivors" wouldn't make it very far.
If there is any violence, they will realize very quickly not to fuck with the modern man. However, violence would not be the goal.
Haha - this sounds like the perfect scenario for Bond for nintendo 64 (a topic for another day).
Similarly to the movie "War of the Worlds", we have one last trump card if any savages make it to a civilized village; i.e., germs/diseases, etc.
Considering these people wouldn't be speaking your tongue, any attempt at peacefully going to meet with them or speak to them seems difficult. It would seem that if a person were to enter their territory with arms raised - they would just shoot you on sight. Maybe people could drop some smoke bombs or whatever sprays that renders them unconscious, and move them to civilization? Lock them up in a room and see how they react - real lights, real appliances, and provide them with guns! See how they react! Accidental shootings perhaps?
It is not my responsibility, nor that of my fellow filibusterers, to walk into "their" territory with our hands raised. They are living not on their own lands, but lands belonging to their respective governments. We will be sure to check with their local County Clerk to see if they've registered a deed for their property before going in, LOL!
What do you think the odds are, of somebody (a photographer, journalist, etc.) being shot and killed by a bow and arrow, or poision dart to the throat, or whatever other weapon they use to kill their prey?
And, once they kill somebody, do you think they would eat it as "food"? A sacrifice to their gods? Would they bury it?
The potential nighmare scenarios you mentioned are the reason why I plan on operating in only such a way so as to ensure (in the following order):
(1) A peaceful takeover and arrests for evading taxes; and
(2) Mass murder.
