1976, the Team Explorer Jean-Pierre Dutilleaux came for the first time in contact with the primitive tribe of Toulambis (Papua, New Guinea), whose members hadn't ever come in contact with the outside world and neither had seen man with white skin. The camera captured the fearful and full of curiosity their reaction.

   You should let them quiet, without trying to get in touch with them, because their life was not polluted by the maifaits of a world based on consumption, useless technology and stupidity of so-called civilized humanity, dommage…

   Pourvu qu’ils ne se soient installés sur aucune mine intéressante ni dans une zone où “on ” aura décidé la construction d’un barrage ou d’un dépôt d’ordures … Déjà bien gênant que des journalistes aient attiré l’attention sur eux ! Les prêcheurs les ont-ils vite “sauvés” de la damnation ? What have they become for 40 years ? (téléphones portables et ordinateurs ? money money money ? ou on visite leurs villages comme on visite les favelas ????) This document is still moving , on pense aux améridiens d’Amazonie , les quelques tribus non “découvertes” se sont vu parachuter de l’alcool !

    The contact, in 1976, Jean-Pierre Dutilleaux team with the primitive tribe Toulambis (Papua New Guinea), shows the curiosity to the unknown. But we can not qualify them as innocent and pure, eso es caer en la idea del “buen salvaje”, quite old fashioned; If we understand and respect the culture and norms of groups.

    I believe that these people should be left alone and let them live their own lives. They are (supposedly) the innocents and as all peoples I am sure that in their own way they struggle for survival as we all do in our own way. I also think that the white men did not mean any harm to them and did not know or realize the consequences of their actions. I also believe that all others who posted comments here in a negative manner, who point fingers at each other do not understand that we are all the same as humans. We are curious, competitive. We seek knowledge and we make mistakes. We are HUMAN. This is what we do. We are no different from a dog that protects it’s territory, a chimpanzee that makes war against one of another tribe or a seagull looking for food. If we are the superior species on this planet, then maybe someday we can learn to respect all life and environment of this planet. We are doomed either by nature itself or by our own course of action.

      You are right, Guy. We can and must contribute to grow up humanism and empathy in the world.

    Typical civilization: we make and say shit out of what could have been pure beauty. Shame on all these comments full of hate and ego. And who made all these comments? WE, ”CIVILIZED” PEOPLE.

    Neste video could reflect about the human aspects that all us possuimos em us mesmos. Here too we can compare how they in the big changes that will arise in recent years in all areas and several new technologies that will emerge in this course in brief. Thanks to all for sharing these maxims in the completeness of the present moment. Abraços por Jose Vitor Chavedar – SP. Brassil..
