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.

    Thank you for uploading this video is awesome, I think that I will never understand as instead of helping with the training and scientific education technical so these same people autodeterminen themselves and decide its direction, they are used, is indoctrinating them and steals them in many cases their resources.

    The video I find it very interesting, There is no doubt that they are in Africa, hay un detalle que me gustaría que un antropólogo o especialista en el tema me lo aclare.Por que a los nativos se les ve su pelo tan bien cortado, especially the whiskers? and the type of blanket used especially by children, shows clearly that they are fabrics made with industrial loom

      I agree with you, I have also seen it and I have already commented and also sobreactuan when they approach the white man. Son cazadores y guerreros y no creo que se comportasen así de manera natural…

    I hope that it does not become repeat the encounter with the white man, they are happy as live and be them must leave in peace. It bad is that we believe that our way of living is the best

    it’s curious how this encounter /exchange is seen as “good” or “bad” by the commentators. In fact it just is…and always will be the way of it. strangers…real strangers meeting for the first time. assessing each other and then interacting in ways to advance your own interests and perspectives. Exploitation and “taking advantage” is part of the human way…There are fewer and fewer of these types of people left…who know nothing of the outside world, so this type of experience is interesting but unlikely to be repeated. The real question is how to relate to other strangers in ways that promote joint interests rather than destructive levels of self interest. Can this be learned? encouraged ?

    Sadly they are still winning with mirrors, In the absence of glass beads now carry in the first matches will be wet garbage, truly they believe to be carrying some poor indigenous culture?
