Tribe meets white man for the first time.

B0X · 23-06-2011 1:50pm #1

Saw this on reddit and thought it was incredible. Their reactions are amazing, I can only imagine what it would be like to see technology like that for the first time, they must have thought it was magic.

I wonder what the fist against the head means when they taste the rice?

Great footage.

BigDuffman · 23-06-2011 2:35pm

Amazing. At 04:40 they look to be trying to wipe see if the colour off his skin and the look of fear at the mirror!

Certainly no fear of them stressing out about their server going down!

Great video.

It reminds me of this time I visited Mayo.

daz801 · 23-06-2011 3:33pm

GrizzlyMan · 23-06-2011 3:43pm

wow thanks OP for this, such an amazing video!

irishleedsfan · 23-06-2011 3:48pm

Great find Op. Thanks for sharing

Mickeroo · 23-06-2011 3:53pm

Ah yea it's lovely, wait until the white-man comes back to cut down the trees or they all die of the common cold because they've never been in contact with it before. Thats what happened in Mayo

Wow, that music is bad.

Video's great though.

lesserspottedchloe · 23-06-2011 4:03pm

mad how the first thing he thinks about is going for the camera to get a picture :rolleyes:

little did they know what was coming: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9aJZB2jNHRY&feature=relmfu

d.anthony · 23-06-2011 4:20pm

Was anyone else kinda half expecting one of them to spear him when the guy tried to touch them?

antodeco · 23-06-2011 4:35pm

Food, technology and bewbs. Its like FHM all over again.

Loads of bewbs.

That music was really annoying though. Would have preferred to hear what was actually going on. And more bewbs.

Looks more like their checking what kind of meat he has on his bones.

SadieSue · 23-06-2011 5:54pm

That was fantastic! Their reactions are just amazing.

I can only wish that we would be so gracious and open if an alien were to land in our back garden.

I really feel for the tribe, the look like they were happy and fulfilled. I shudder to think of how they are now.

From the stonage to the twentieth (footage looks old) century in a matter of minutes....

if no westrener went there afterwards I'd say they are still telling stories about that, and anything they were given is now a prized possession.

btw looks to be in paupa new guinea

I thought the music was good. Anyone know who it is?

markfla · 23-06-2011 8:53pm

Looked like a violation of the prime directive to me!

Yeha-noha (Wishes of Happiness and Prosperity) from Sacred Spirit: Chants and Dances of the Native Americans

Would have preferred the original audio myself...

Pretty unreal video. The mirror part was sensational.

I don't think a civilised human could ever react with such wonder and awe at something.

I dunno man, my friend got a PSP recently. "IT CAN PLAY VIDEOS TOO." Doesn't get out much.

Well there was this time...
And there were these mushrooms.........
I'll say no more.

Video is amazing though.
I loved how they would ever so slowly reach out to touch the guy, and when contact was made, they'd freak out and back away!

I honestly thought it was all going to go a bit pear shaped when the lead tribes man gave the "Sayeed from OZ look" .....

It's a good thing Adebisi didn't show up with that tiny hat on his head! You know how those two don't get along.

he should go back with an iphone, a wii and some miracle cleaner from JML and blow all their minds

Tribe meets white man for the first time.
