them. The Korubo in the past have killed trespassers on their land and the latest incident occurred in the year 2000, when Korubo warriors killed three lumbermen near the Native Reservation. FUNAI helps the Korubo by giving them modern immunization shots and checking up on them often. FUNAI also established a national park that encompasses the Korubo's land in order to stop logging in the area. Their goal is to prevent further contact with the tribe by modern society in order to preserve their way of life. Skirmishes with the outside world Soon after it broke away from the larger Korubo, the splinter group was chased away by the settlers of Lodario, killing two members. Led by a warrior Ta'van, the Korubo killed three loggers. Ta'van also killed close friend to Possuelo and FUNAI member Raimundo (Sobral) Batista Magalhães, on August 22, 1997. Sobral was attempting to take back a tarpaulin from the group.
