The tribe of Toulambis comes for the first time in contact with whites

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.

    I was very happy to have seen the innocent people in Papua Toulambis. But at the same time gave me sadness of seeing how the white man plays and enjoys to see how you react in a tribe when is them precentan the great inventions of the big civilicaciones of the modern times. Me dolio seeing that white man have entered you to the Toulambis (oneof the few tribes that remain in our great planet Earth) the knife one of the first tools with which a human being can be dead, matches cause the loss of a foreste or more than that. Por que mejor nosotros primero aprendemos of the sencilles of the vida that ellos viven, Llena of paz y amor.

    This documentary is a hoax. He was almost bleufé ethnologists at that time but the hoax was discovered. For those who know, les femmes et les enfants ne vont pas à la chasse chez les chasseurs cueilleurs… il y avait encore d’autres éléments qui ont permis de faire éclater la vérité, mais mes années d’étude sont loin….

    These people were probably glad, in harmony with nature,
    sans les maladies et les vices qui nous affectent…
    I wonder if this is not for them a disaster to have met our contemporaries and our am-called progress.
    Je suis curieux de savoir ce qu’ils sont devenus… et j’ose espérer qu’ils vivent encore et dans le même bonheur!

    I think this video is great!
    it shows us more about how tribes live without all the stuff we have.
    I wonder IF we are really more happy with our stuff.
    They can do it without a computer, agenda’s boxes, mobile phones, make-up, what ever. This shows us how actually insane we are.
    Why do we want all this stuff, unthough we can do it without?

    But i think it’s great what the white man is doing. The takes the time to introduce himself. He is helping them! The will not use a knife to kill someone, but they can use it very well in their work!!
    And rice…

    But one problem, the will be very confused, because the white man can't explain anything. So they will be left shocked or whatever.

    And how bad, the haven’t heard about the Gospel of Jezus Christ yet…

    One question among many others that I wonder about this short film is to know if leaving white man with a few well-intentioned trinkets they came away with, also, some microbes as foreign to their world that the white man.

  17. Bill says:

    I really don’t know what to make of this. Probably have enough time to down a few bottles philosophosizing about it !

    I have been working in Papua New Guinea for the last 2 years.
    This movie must be very old, but even here there are tribes living in primitive conditions.
    ΕΔΩ ΠΟΥ ΕΡΓΑΖΩΜΑΙ ΤΗΝ ΠΡΩΤΗ ΦΟΡΑ ΠΟΥ ΗΡΘΑΜΑΙ (Κατασκευαζομαι αεροδρομιο για της αναγκες της ExxonMobil) οι ανθρωποι μας “υποδεκτηκαν” καπως ετσι.

    Authentic or not, το βιντεάκι αυτό αποδεικνύει οτι ” όποιος ανακατεύεται με λευκούς του μαυρίζει η ψυχή!”
    This caught the implication, pale faces;

  25. Alessandro says:

    Dear Franz,
    the correct question we should ask ourselves,if we want to be honest, is not only to “leave them in peace”, but “to leave them in peace and not corrupt their hearts and souls, by making them participate in such a fake/prearranged video (probably for some $$$ or other goods)… as this is the ultimate “sickness” of western societies”

  26. franz says:

    Wonderful BUT shouldn’t we leave these people in peace ?
    I feel there is something wrong and dangerous for them to bring them like this in contact with an unknown civilization !
    This is our pleasure, not their’s !

    • sherylizz says:

      @ franz -I agree totally with you. We are so FULL of ourselves. Leave these people in peace. Question remains: WHO is civilized? The westerners with all their gadgets and trinkets filled lives and moreover their arrogance? Touching them can infect them also with bacteria and virii that can be harmful to them. The Indians in South America were killed almost to extinction back in the days, when the Spanish introduced a simple cold to their culture. We are back in the days of bringing mirrors and beads to people WE call uncivilized. This whole videoclip is about VANITY. We smart ass whites, will show you how we get FIRE out of a little box. HOORAY. THIS my friends is a MIRROR. And see how fantastic our KNIFE works, compared to your lousy tools. What’s the purpose of introducing RICE to them? And watch this: we can record your VOICE TOO. By the way, we didn’t make any of this mind you. We are just CONSUMERS. We make people in 3rd world countries make these for less than a dollar a day, working 10 hours a day. 7 Days a week. We are westerners behaving like monkeys in a consumer’s crazed world. My final words about this videoclip: Damnit, totally disgusting. This is about superiority and so wrong. Leave these people alone.
