Apparently from 1976, some interesting footage of the first meeting. I'd say they were lucky they were received so well. Can't find anything on what happened to this tribe since. Makes me think about early humans meeting people from 'space ships' who set themselves up as 'gods'.

What a bunch of sane people!
And here we are, with our wonderful technological world, going day after day near nowhere.

very interesting Perceval !!
I've the undefined feeling that this was the worst thing that could have happened to this tribe.
what this people have done to this tribe was probably destructive for the tribe.

I've found the orginal without music added. so you can hear the sound as it was. it's also longer then the one that Perceval posted

Wow! That was really unsettling. My first thought was "RUN!!!"

Litterally 'smoke and mirrors.' Sigh.

Thanks for sharing! Amazing. I felt for the children, who I hope are still there doing the same things (without the invaders).

Oh, they are probably "preserved" in "an open zoo" conditions for the enjoyment of travel agencies' clients.

These 'tour guides' are offensive. Here is snippet of what they say on their website of the Papua New Guinea tribe of which the rich can go 'tour' and oggle at the 'past':

"In Papua you can still find absolutely primitive cultures whose development ended in the Neolithic period (younger Stone Age)."

Really? Define 'development' for me. They can survive well without a microwave, shoes, and a climent controlled box. Case closed. :rolleyes:

Indeed, very disturbing. Most especially when they are given food. I'm not sure what is it, but it seems to be rice, isn't it? I can imagine either aliens or farmer peoples in the past meeting hunter gatherers and giving them the korn or whatever, making them become rapidly addicted to it.

Looks like rice to me, and they really seemed to like those simple carbs and gluten! Maybe their first taste of food opiods! All downhill from there for sure.
 
What struck me is the tribe's people looked so healthy. Whatever their diet, without grains gluten or processing, seems to be just fine.

Natural curiosity, relaxed demeanor, comfortable with who they are. We "civilized" folks could learn alot from them.

I felt myself wanting to tell them to get away. They are doing just fine the way they are without "enlightenment".

These people are doomed.

I bet their life changed forever after having such a contact. Isn't it crazy that some of us had the same thought: RUN!? At some point, it made me really sad. The white man showing the wonders of tech gadgets to natives. Remembrance of past times!

Amazing video, thanks for sharing Perceval!
 
Be aware of Greeks bringing their gifts! This reminded me of the Fall, just this white guy was lizzard, and then there is this:

Q: I have this book, this Marcia Schafer thing: "Confessions of an Intergalactic Anthropologist," and [...] one thing she says: "the snake is associated with the sign of wisdom and higher learning, and is often regarded quite highly in mystical circles." She had an interaction with a rattlesnake, for which she felt sympathy, and she also has sympathetic interactions with Lizzies. I would like to have a comment on the idea of the snake as a "sign of wisdom and higher learning." Does this, in fact, represent what the snake symbolizes?
A: Snake is/was reported in context of the viewpoint of the observer. [...] Maybe the observer was just "blown away" by the experience. [...] If you were living in the desert, or jungle, about 7,000 years ago, as you measure time, would you not be impressed if these Reptoid "dudes" came down from the heavens in silvery objects and demonstrated techno-wonders from thousands of years in the future, and taught you calculus, geometry and astrophysics to boot?!?
Q: Is that, in fact, what happened?
A: Yup.
