Wow, what a historical video................thank you for finding and sharing it.

Now, take this one step further, will we civilized humans be as friendly and curious and open as those "natives" if and when we are ever approached by alien civilazation.

My money, sadly enough is on these folks will be shopping at KMart, eating Big Macs and using cell phones within the decade.

And who is the happier. They looked pretty peaceful and content to me. Compare their facial expressions to those of your average office drone with the glazed hardened eyes, drawn lips and uptight position.

Those indigenous people looked pretty sharp, if you looked into their eyes, their no dummies, their eyes were taking in everything going on around them and processing it as fast as possible.

That was the most interesting video I've seen for a long time! Those people were so innocent and apprehensive after seeing that white guy and the technology he showed them. It really made me feel good inside watching them interact with each other.

I was curious as to what they were trying to communicate when they were eating the rice and than hitting the side of their head. I figured it was their way of showing that they really liked the taste of the rice.

Now we know how we would act if confronted by something far more advanced than us. I know being apprehensive and scared would be high on my list. Thanks for sharing, I would give you more than 1 star and flag if I could. Everyone should take the time to watch this!

This video is so amazing!
I wonder why they made that gesture with their hands in the back of their head when they tried the food, looked like a gesture for saying that they liked something maybe.

Made me think also about all those times when natives met white man, and white man wasn't smart or kind enough to them.

My guess is that it was refined sugar.

The white film maker is Jean Pierre Dutilleaux if you want to find out more. Not 1976, post 1993 or so.
The Maglite torch for a start did not appear in any form until 1979.

Thank you for sharing this video. I had never seen it before now. What a beautiful area and beautiful kind and joyous people.

But it did make me cry...for loss of their security and the disruption of their environment and existence as they knew it.

Why do we seem to think that everyone and everything is better and improved for having known us or simply to satisfy our curiousity. Sometimes its better to just leave things alone.

Oh, looked like rice to me.
And about the date, yeah, quality looks kinda good for being made at the 70's..
I'll look into that guy's work, thanks!

I think it's good they now know there is a world out there with all kinds of different people... I doubt their way of life was disrupted in a way that would make it unrecognizable... They simply have more knowledge of the world than they did before...

I see nothing wrong with this...

On our end, perhaps showing the western world a video like this is exactly what they need.. Sure there are many primitive customs and beliefs but that aside I imagine there is a lot we could learn from them.. Perhaps how to survive without all the materialistic technologies we've grown accustomed to.. In my personal view this video is a good reminder that humanity once survived solely with sticks and stones quite effectively for thousands of years.
