New Amazonian Tribe And The Tasaday Cave People Hoax

anorak.co.uk

An anthropologist creates a fictitious lost New Guinea tribe using his family members to cover-up for his mis-use of grant moneys.

Rent "Krippendorf's Tribe"
Plot summary
Respected anthropologist James Krippendorf (Richard Dreyfuss) and his wife, Jennifer (Barbara Williams), bring their three children along during their much-enjoyed search in New Guinea for a lost tribe. The search fails, despite the family's best efforts. After Jennifer's death, James reaches an academic stagnation back in the U.S., having spent all his foundation grant money raising the children as a single parent. Scheduled to lecture at a college and fearful of being charged with misuse of grant funds, James concocts an imaginary tribe, the Shelmikedmu, using the names of his children as a basis.

Who was behind OGX. euromoney.com

Interesting as it come to a private firm rather than to a state-controled one. Perhaps a sign of things to come.
