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 strongly believe this is a fake footage. The movements of the natives look too elavorated. They keep watching the cameras to make sure the viewers are watching them. IT'S A FAKE TO ME!!!!

      You are very sceptical, almost as a politician. Our world is sceptical. Sometimes I have ideas that all this was created by simple people who were not really intelligent but wanted to own everything. They created left theories, gave the poor nothing but use them for their own enrichment [Stalin, Nicolae Ceausescu, Brussels Notices US]

    I think it is fitting. Los movimientos de los “nativos” no son normales. Spend viewing cameras like so we know they are there. El contacto con el “hombre blanco” parece sacado de la película “los dioses están locos”. FOR ME IT IS A MOUNTING. A FARCE!!!!

    É fantástico saber que ainda há nesse mundo pessoas que vivem felizes com sua forma de ser… são os verdadeiros cuidadores da natureza… retiram dela (of nature) apenas o necessário para sua sobrevivência… porém, White has not yet realized that this contact with these peoples can bring them unwanted situations, as for example, doenças do nosso mundo capitalista… deixem-os viver em paz e felizes… devemos respeitá-los em sua forma de vida… é o que penso. (Janda Penha – jandapenha@brturbo.com.br) I'm brazilian, um país descoberto a mais de 500 anos e que seus primeiros moradores eram TODOS índios… com a colonização, the indigenous community was brutally disrespected, assim como é até os dias atuais… é uma vergonha a maneira com a qual os governantes brasileiros tratam os povos e as questões indígenas no Brasil… e viva a diversidade!

    Me, Je trouve ça très émouvant cette rencontre de la différence et son acceptation, Tout en se sentant pareils, human being.

    merci beaucoup…comme nos frères et nos soeurs de Toulambis sont accueillants et bons de nous accepter avec nos choses… Comme la place de l’Enfant est belle et enseignante pour nous.

    This video brought me to tears. That such wonder and innocence could have still existed even 36 years ago!
    Your comments have completely missed the point of this wondrous exchange. Whether you are religious, atheist or agnostic, we are all connected to one another. Each of us is will travel the road of life in the way that we feel is right and who knows what we will learn along the way. The point is to be open in heart as well as mind. We all have so much to learn from one another.

    and now that men do,they kill !!

    Beautiful and wonderful film people's reactions. All this is in the past and have not been changed. The desire for knowledge and the search is as old as humanity itself. Little explorer who was able to realize what causes its findings, but in any case he did not want to hurt anyone.

  11. Queen Elizabeh says:

    all they need now is for someone like George Bush and his gang to go there and install “democracy” to save them from themselves!

  12. Glenda Fields says:

    This really is a priceless film. It felt like I was right there, living the events with them.
    Thanks, to friend Eli!!!!

    beautiful

    Hopefully these “white” people will show more humility and understand that white man has much to relearn from the charming earth-bonded ones.

  15. NeverNotHere says:

    I feel very touched by this recorded occurrence and much respect for our planetary heritage which allowed so many diverse groups to live and develop for untold generations.

    The world is too small not to have these meetings of cultures be inevitable. I am supposing this contact was in the hands of an amateur explorer or photo journalist. I hope that he did good, in not upsetting the social structure too much, at least by giving the knife to the chief, and not to just the most curious.

    True concern for those people would research what has happened to them today? Post an update link here in these comments.

    My greatest insight are these 408 comments. Our “tribe” will use any occasion (holy or profane) to launch into religious squabbles, fanatic politics and blatant self righteousness. So many of us are just looking for someone to fight with, or to spew verbal abuse at.

    In that sense we would never survive as tribe that has gone on for centuries. Would we find a better place in a pack of wolves or feral mongrel dogs?

    Ils sont heureux car ils sont loin de ce monde civilisé où les conditionnements sociaux et les dictats ont éloigné l’homme de sa nature véritable…notre essence d’être joyeux, curious and resourceful.

    According to rumours emanating from this tribe, who has his facebook account, their leader would be negotiating with coca cola do mac and a French supermarket ,carefour for do not cite it to finish rotting them life infecting with fucking our consumption society. I hope that is are just rumors.

  27. Patrick59 says:

    Probably the most incredible day in the lives of those creatures. And of the white men too! Unique experience! Very very nice… But as one person before me said: let’s hope diseases and “civilization” will not harm them.
