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.

    Excellent video!
    Creio that agora depois de descoberta essa tribo as doenças do homem branco irao sucumbilos a morte, assim como foi desimados os índios de meu País… Pataxós, Guaranís, Yamorés, todos eles mortos pelos Português que aqui vieram… O Brasil não foi descoberto por Portugal, It was conquered and disputed every inch of ground for indigenous Latin and African blood.

    I enjoyed it immensely, very interesting and I totally believe this was genuine. Curious kids can't act like that.
    Hope to see more of those people and their culture.

    greetings to all

    I would say this is a fake as non o them seems to realize there is a camera man there too all the time. They just look and touch the white main character which is exactly what they would do in a film.

    Best wishes for all.

    Cheers.

    It is an interesting document. It is only a pity that have replaced the sounds of the moments by an ethnic musiqueta.

    This a load of shite. Met these people outside a bar in Bradford last week.
    Stag party I think. Still in hospital, Thanks a million cave men.

    That was great

  14. Gelois says:

    Really interesting. I am amazed as they reach our world with fear and curiosity reflected in their eyes and their movements of caution before the white man so many centuries respected by them.
    Seems that to the end have forgotten all that is les has done in so many years.
    Me sad to see those children mainly when return to your world.
    Not there is way of fixing anything. Truth?
    Very good story.

    Truly amazing. Let us hope that the man white, not make of them yours as always.

      INCREDIBLE , BUT TRUE, I THINK THAT DOES NOT HAVE EVIL THAT WILL BE A PEOPLE MAGNIFICENT!!!

    Serviceable que el hombre blanco, utiliza “espejos de colores”, para ganar cnfianza los nativos, con sorprendiendolos an espejo, a phosphorus, the friction of the ' skin, what it shows is that white is q Ho discovers the native, it dazzles with the fire of unfosforo, the image in the mirror, the spoon instead of your fingers to eat. Them without the use of objects shown to they have lived millions of years without going more beyond the stick, the protection Dela rainforest, It is emocionanate to see their expressions of surprise. Those considerations policy on as the man civilized?? I appropriate their workforce,, its resources, they have already been reported by humanized the men and women. This is just a curiosity. Maybe the children used to distinguish between it and what they see

  20. it was like that before abraham!!! says:

    this document which transports us 30 or 40 years ago.000 years back , represents yet the image of little time passed since human is bipedal, Watch the only, in silence,without sound which is nothing compared to the acts; After doing a pose of serenity.

  21. Yusuf says:

    beautiful video, es increible que se este gastando tanto dinero en buscar vida en otros planetas mientras existen tantas cosas por conocer en el nuestro y seres humanos “niños” aqui a dos pasos que se mueren de hambre.

  22. George says:

    There are a mixture of postive and negative comments about this meeting between cultures. These “primitives” probably have values that the white man should learn. They probably already have something similar to rice, The fact Es Kswa, which is probably more nutrritious that white rice. We can hope that none of the white man’s diseases flowed from this contact. On the positive side, it didn’t lead to any battles, or broken heads. Does anyone know if there has been any further interaction with these people? I can only speculate about the comments in languages other than english.

    • GabyStan says:

      We’re probably going to “civilize” and transform them into consumers, into “happy slaves”, real soon.

  24. Ignasi Güell Arañó says:

    Could be a perfectly fitting, but the boss is euténtic, see reactions , gestures, com watch els blannc mentre li offers rural ma blanc = Deu. M'agradoa feel-WHF amb els cors de Nabuc de Verdi, is ' m posen els tip pels, It's like the 2001 monolith scene, Ignasi.

    • Pere says:

      Ignasi, I'm sure of that your comment it has understood throughout the world, because it is written in a language spoken by millions of people from 5 continents. Hardly anyone understood mine, because I am writing it in a language that only 400 million people speak and that it is the 2nd most requested language in the world to be learned. You started well in English but then is that you only wanted you to understand in your town. ALE, NEN bona nit.

      • Cervantes says:

        Pere, fool, perquè not parles in Chinese?

        • Pere says:

          Tú sabes que te autodenominas Cervantes y sólo insultar. No has de mi comentario anterior entendido nada. ANDA, Aprende español bien, read it again, SI alguien más listo que sigues sin entenderlo pregunta a tú (it will not be difficult to find) y si luego quieres me comentas algo.

  25. Anca bratan says:

    It is interesting but not spectacular. It seems natural that those people be surprised by things that have never seen.
    Maybe their life is better than the “civilized”

  26. cyriel of mullem says:

    adembenemend – prachtig. is een schoolvoorbeeld dat men om gelukkig te kunnen leven zich niet moet ” spiegelen ” aan de ander , maar dat men in eerbied voor de ander in eigen ziel en geest de tevredenheid van ” echt ” geluk moet zoeken.

  27. Horace says:

    Most people here comment about how corrupt and ignorant the white man is, vis-a-vis the “pure” Papuans. Well, you should be more tolerant and see that white man approaches them in peace. That white man respected them, as they respected white man.

    This is a superb meeting betwen two civilisations. Doesn’t matter the differences, the encounter went beautifully. This had happened so many times in human history…. the only thing is that they didn’t have a camera to record it, then.

    All in all: white man has a great civilization, it is good that we share its values with others.

    For those who still hang on the “bon sauvage” model, please go there and have fun.

    Democracy, progress, techonology, human rights and mutual rspect are all Western inventions. Isn’t it great to have them and respect them and promote them?

    • Linamar says:

      I thing that it is very irresponsible to show the things they show to this “pure state” humans beings. Why those objects? Why not to go, in the very same way, almost nude? It talks a lot the chosen things. White men are warriors, conquerors (the knife), self-centered (the mirror) and with hunger (the rice)…

    • GIWA says:

      The meeting of two civilizations, everything seems to oppose, is still a big step for mankind and the rapprochement of the peoples.
      If it's a mount with staging, and although bravo
      for the artistry and beauty of these images.
      The goal is achieved since the comments are more interesting than the other.

    Surprising , mais en AMAZONIE ” Profonde ” , which has not yet been explored , It still excites TRIBUTES 'tell'.
    sauvagnes and who have never seen the white man '. What we have seen is the reflection of a civilization which is very much like this . Which avoids him diseases , might not be as devastating to any surrounding Tributes.
    This video is surenant , Grandiose around the place where he was shot and should be beneficial for us all the depraved world which saccageont everything in our path . Without reflefir to the consequences . This Parekh film should be shown in all schools in France , the BE.NE. LUX . and Navarre.

  29. Ernest Kaiser says:

    I was surprised at the ignorance of the white man. His hand motions expressed the idea that he wanted them to give him something. He seemed to think that shaking hands is a universal thing, it is not. Greeting is usually an arm extended upward,
    I lived in Fiji for four years, the Fijians are close relatives of these Papuan people. I would have loved to hear their language, I can speak some Fijian and would like to compare their language to it. Fijian carries strong African overtones: mb, of, nd, with bits of Polynesian thrown in.
    Great people!

    I would only say that these whites are idiots, and do this only to lather their egos in the shit of society in which they live
