Awesome. The feeling you get when they are checking out the mirror and the matches is incredible. It must have been frightening for the tribesmen

This is an amazing video! I can't believe this was filmed the year I was born and I have never seen it. I'm sure this has been posted before, but
please for those of us who have never seen it.. don't kick it to the curb. I wondered as I watched this if this is how American Indians reacted to
"The White Man" when they first met? I know the history books are full of tall tales...and this made me believe "The White Man" did in FACT cause
the hostilities between us and the American Indian. I am a white man, and I mean no racism in anything I post...it just made me wonder.
Your thoughts?
P.S. It is almost 15 minutes long...but well worth the view

I'll have a look at the video you shared.
I've seen a long documentary that started in the 60's and restarted 20 years on and they compared the way the natives felt about the miners descending from birds and a lot more.
The thing is, the reactions are comical. You get all the stereotypical responses like they saw these guys as gods etc. In the 60's a whole area with 500,000 people were discovered that had never met white people.
They haven't done very well but it's certainly not a linear - white mans fault problem. The problem in the Sates and in Australia with aborigines is that the people they met, never left.
Australia decided to let Papua New Guinea go when it had control, because the amount of work it takes to create a stable nation was beyond our scope.
PNG is a very resource rich country, but with a tribal structure the profit runs along corrupt lines and they suffer with violence. The mines are too massive for multinational corporations to share and the natives still living in the jungles don't get properly compensated.
They have their own way about things and I wonder why you think they would be affected badly by white people?

Beautiful video, I just couldn't help but think of how ruined that tribe was after that encounter. They probably had looong stress free life expectancy, then technology came wandering through the woods...
Again, beautiful video.

I think they would have talked about all the cool things he had for months.
Invariably they'll feel like they met the rest of world and that the world is like this nice guy.
They NEVER had a perfect existence. Later on they'll complain about rat's eating their vegetables. We're all like that. It comes naturally.
You're right though. It will be hard for them to see how good they had it.
I don't think people should worry so much that they will be devastated, well... as long as nobody steals their land.
.. I would have guessed it was shot in the early 90s 
Fascinating!
And those things in the men's noses, ow that must hurt!
