The "man of the hole" was first spotted in 1996 by a documentary team traveling with officials of the National Indian Foundation, a government agency that was probing a massacre committed against his tribe. Proving the presence of indigenous people in the Tanaru forest area was necessary in order to grant the area legal protection. The footage was featured in a documentary called "Corumbiara" in 2009. In it, the man's eyes are seen peering out from inside a straw hut. A spear pokes out at one point, as if to scare visitors away.
