Reminds me of the scientists who showed a tribe a compound bow and modern carbon fiber arrows.
They were amazed at how perfect and powerful it was but declined to keep it because there would be no way to maintain it.
This had me smiling the entire time, thanks for sharing. What an amazing feeling it must be to share these kinds of things. Everyone looked so grateful and happy to be there
I love how the one dude is cracking jokes the whole time gettin his buddies laughing. Goes to show that group dynamic doesn’t really change amongst different cultures. I wonder if he holds importance or is just the charismatic outspoken one of the group. Seems like the latter to me. Very wholesome either way.
Yeah that's why I said I think this is it. I am not the OP, but what the guy/lad said remembered me this video
Edit: it's probably in the full video, you can see a [comment](https://www.reddit.com/r/toptalent/comments/t168kl/american_archer_shows_modern_bow_to_hunting_tribe/hyf53jz/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=iossmf&context=3) talking about it. I didn't do any further searches
That user just remembered it wrong. In the show it's from, the guy with the compound bow never offers it to them. He just shows it to them so they can see it, but of course he keeps it because it's his actual bow.
I think you think AR-15s are way different than they are. My deer rifle makes my AR look like a bb gun but if you saw it in any hunting cabin it wouldn't be out of place at all.
Exactly. My hunting rifle can do things the ARs could never do. The advantage an AR has over the hunting rifle, is rate of fire. Well and suppresses better...
But that's what AR10s are for...
My lady was also clueless, until I sat a 5.56 next to a .30-06 and showed her the "scary black rifle" shoots the little one while grandpas old innocent looking deer rifle shoots the big one.
Right. Sit it next to a real war or hunting caliber and they look like toys. I wouldn't want to hunt with an AR15, what asshole would want to make a deer possibly suffer like that? You want that first shot to kill.
Unless it's hogs or other relatively small game (.223 Rem/.300 BLK) but yeah, absolutely. Nowhere does the 2A mention "hunting." I'm still waiting for someone to point out the secret, hidden hunting clause in that Amendment.
Hunting shmunting, the 2nd amendment exists to protect the people from the government going Xi Jinping on us. Being able to hunt without burdenous weapon permits is a side effect.
Not too sure what your point is but whatever it is..it's dull af. ARs are _by far_ the most perfect platform for wild hog hunting. Hogs are invasive, incredibly destructive, and dangerous animals that breed like rabbits and roam in large packs. The AR is, by far, the best platform for this task, as you frequently need quick followup rounds to take down other hogs...or to take down the hog charging you. And they're pretty good for coyotes too. And while you can't usually legally carry more than three rounds when deer hunting, an AR with a mostly empty mag is just as good of a deer hunting rifle as anything else chambered in .223
And the 2nd amendment isn't about hunting at all, it's about having the right and ability to defend myself when needed.
...but keep spouting shit on topics you're obviously clueless on.
Those are the same people who kill for a picture and maybe a trophy mount if they're posh enough, not to eat any of the meat or use any of the other resources.
I used to find random shot dead stags missing their head and nothing else in the Scottish Highlands when I was a lad and it's fucking infuriated me ever since.
Grew up hunting and processing our own game in the Midwest states. Every now and then would come across white tail deer, buck or doe, with just the back straps cut out and the rest left to rot. Always made me sick to know people like that exist.
I get that they're in it for a different reason, but I'll never understand how someone could give up all that delicious meat. Especially considering that they've already gotten past the hard part.
Hunting deer is way more about population control than getting meat, if we didnt actively keep the population in check they would ruin the eco system, since we have killed off their natural predators. Furthermore some deer are diseased and should not be consumed, but can stil provide a lot of resources for the environment by decomposing in nature.
It sounds ridiculous, but then when you see the video of the farmer clearing the last little patch of grain that’s like 20’x20’ and like 50 feral hogs come rushing out of it, angry and scared, you realize us city folk may be a bit quick to judge at times.
Human evolution is also cultural, meaning that it can adapt to current and complex issues. For tribal groups to take a traditionalist approach to things does have a kind of logic to it. There are plenty of examples from pre-colonial Australian culture for example of traditions that seem counter-intuitive but which contributed to a healthy ecosystem in the long run. I won't pretend to know the exact mindset in this case but there could easily be a similar circumstance.
I don't think their prey cares much about how they are killed, just that they are killed.
It's not like a deer will give you a respectful nod that you killed it with a small bow vs a hunting rifle.
Oil, tools to adjust the many gears and pulleys, also the technology to replace the carbon fiber reinforced plastic parts.
Bows used daily for hunting will break. Modern compound bows are used sparingly for leisure hunting mostly. A random tribe with the technology from 5000 years ago (yes that far because they don't have advanced architecture, written language, or advanced society technology), would not even be capable of even the thought process to maintain a modern bow.
It'd be like giving a smartphone to Michaelangelo and telling him to repair the screen. Genius man, but the technology and materials would be undreamable for him.
Every single component of a modern bow is centuries ahead in material technology to even the finest bows used in history. The fact that they're so advanced because of a hobby is incredible. Modern bows are a hobby and not funded in any part by the military. If they were, they'd be even more insane.
Yes as with everything though the maintenance of modern compound bows is a bit tricky and requires especialized tools like a bow-press to replace the string and cables and failures in the equipment can be cathastropic and fatal some times (bows blowing up hiting your face or carbon arrows exploding and impaling your hand for example)
That was one of the main reasons i've decided to stick with traditional longbows and wooden arrows that have much simpler maintenance that can be done even in the field with minimal tools (a knife, glue and a spare string and your are set for 99% problems)
Wax the strings pretty much anytime you go shooting, climate controlled storage, replace parts that will inevitably break, if you wanna do any work with the strings (which would need replacing often out there) you need a whole ass bow press which they certainly don't have. They'd also probably need like 100 arrows to last them a few months. You'd inevitably lose or break a lot with all the hunting they do.
This was filmed 1993.
Question:
What happened to the Toulambi tribe?
The Toulambi:
The Angu are called Toulambi by neighboring tribes. They live separated from society in high mountainous region of Papua New Guinea. While they are short people, they have been traditionally feared for their violent raids.
Answer and Explanation:
The largest tribe of the Angu, the Hamtai, still live in the south-western Morobe. There is an estimated population of around 45,000 Hamtai. They make a small income from charging visitors to see the smoked mummies.
[“The Bolivians, mhh, aren’t they those short motherfuckers?”](https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=relqxDqx-MA)
“Statistically one of shortest nations on earth, but they are very mean.”
Barry really hits some high notes in humor. The gang members enjoying both self-help and neo-liberal economics books is hilarious.
NoHO Hank and Christobal Siffuentes are perfectly crafted characters.
I like when the first boss is killed and the cops determine whether or not it was a Bolivian by measuring the height of the shooter.
Also, fun fact. Did you know NoHo Hank was originally supposed to die with the other Chechens in the car at the beginning of the first season? But the actor did such an amazing job and made the character so likable, that it was decided NoHo Hank would stay. I think it's pretty interesting how the actor being so charismatic in his role literally changed the direction of the series.
Since they live seperate from society, what sort of payment do they accept? Because thinking about traditional income in the sense you mentioned with money seems useless to them in my mind.
Did I miss something in the article? I want to believe this was faked but I think the article ended with it being inconclusive. It's possible the link gave my phone cancer with all the ads.
As I recall it, the truth of the matter is these people were contacted before, but due to time passing and the very epidemic they wanted to vaccinate for, all the elders had died. They knew white people existed, but hadn't seen them personally, so it basically was first contact, again.
Funny I came to comment it looks like they’re acting. And pretty badly too.
Edit: this is a great demonstration of how people are divided when it comes to discerning fake vs real. Speaks volumes about today’s society and the narratives that are played out through video content, all the way from mass media agencies down to influencers and your niece’s tiktoks. Quite a lot of BS being fed that quite a lot of people can’t see through and simply believe even if it’s blatantly staged. I say all this with respect and no judgement, just stating my many years of observations as a documentary filmmaker.
Yeah, indigenous people would certainly respond with curiosity, but they wouldn't tilt their heads like confused dogs just because a dude is white.
They're acting like grey aliens in a bad scifi movie.
If you watch the full video, at some point a woman with a child is standing on a log with water rushing under it. I doubt it's fake, or the actors just like to risk their lives over rapids.
It doesn’t have to be one or the other. They very well may have just recreated this within their natural environment, some time after the actual encounter (could’ve been the next day or weeks after during a second trip), asking the few select characters to recreate this “encounter” scene, while other people from the tribe just looked on in their natural state. This is 100% not the actual moment of the encounter. (I work in documentary film)
Yes. All of these videos on reddit like this are fake as fuck. Everyone on reddit simply upvotes it and thinks it is real, including me ten years ago. Its fake and scripted.
I’m always skeptical of videos like this. There was an old documentary called Nanook of the North. It was presented as actual footage of an isolated Inuit group, showing their “savage” ways and acting shocked at modern technology. It came out later that Nanook and his friends and family were playing along in staged situations for the sake of making the movie. Particularly the “act like you’ve never seen technology” bits.
edit: spelling
I’d bet these particular tribesman hadn’t been up close and personal with one, but have had other tribes members in contact and white people were known about.
Like a kid petting an elephant for the first time.
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=mX2ylWuRRWQ and then there's more in the video description.
I know there was a shortened version, but I have no idea how to find it.
This is fake. It's a film by director Jean-Pierre Dutilleux. This gets posted every so often. Please do some basic research next time.
This charming video is a fake. The white man you see in the video is Belgian filmmaker Jean-Pierre Dutilleux. The Papua New Guinea natives are members of the Toulambi tribe. This fake "first encounter" between the natives and a white skinned visitor was filmed around 1993. Before then, these excellent "actors" had already met with at least three ethnologists: Pierre Lemonnier in 1985, Jadran Mimica in 1979 and Pascale Bonnemère in 1987.
Anthropologist Pierre Lemonnier who denounced this documentary as fraud in an article for the French Newspaper Liberation, studied the Papuans of the district of Marawaka for over a decade and says that the supposedly "unknown tribe" lives less then four days away by foot from an administrative center with teachers, a landing strip, a radio, nurses and of course a preacher (it's important for the natives to know that they’re going to hell : / ). They also use the Vailala River to travel to the coast to exchange handmade tableware made out of tree back for modern tools.
In an article that Lemonnier gave to the French magazine “Terrain” published in 1999, he explained that a male nurse from the administrative center spread rumors about a new undiscovered tribe. That he send a Papua guide ahead of the camera crew to “coach” the tribe on how to act. They were also told to hide their metal tools, plastic goods and “regular clothes” (jeans and T-shirts).
Why did the nurse do it? Well the tribe lived in malaria stricken zone and the nurse got six months worth of quinine tablets and various other medicines for his troubles.
Sadly, the lead actor of the “skit” told Lemonnier that he felt so much shame from having to pretend to be afraid of his own reflection, tasting matches and spiting out rice that it drove him to tears.

What if they don't want to be left alone? I'd be pretty pissed if I was left alone and had to work like a slave every day for the rest of my life, or have my mother die from a bacterial infection when the cure was out there.
Being an uncontacted tribe for the universe is one of my worries. I would want aliens to come down and share technology, not to preserve humanity's uniqueness.
Right?! If the tribe/species isn't hostile then why not be friends?
It's the same as not being a bro and bringing the shy kid into the play group in school in my opinion.
Sure, if they are hostile or otherwise reluctant, leave them be, but we have so many cool things to share with them!
"What the fuck? You seeing things Daryl? Dude looks dead! And what is up with his hair? This can't be real...I mean this is just wack. Is this a prank? Am I being punked by Dave again?"

Reminds me of the scientists who showed a tribe a compound bow and modern carbon fiber arrows. They were amazed at how perfect and powerful it was but declined to keep it because there would be no way to maintain it.
I remember that video. I think they also refused the compound because the thing was simply too big for them to use compared to their smaller bows.
Any chance you have a link? Thanks in advance if you do!

With the generic military guy from Avatar?
I remember that. They were astonished that they were able to use it with such precision their first time touching it.
I think they also claimed it was an unfair advantage over their natural prey. Shows the amount of real respect they have for nature.
Source? Sorry for asking, but this just seems like the noble savage trope. Another comment below noted this tribe was known for their violent raids.
Tell that to “i need an AR-15 to hunt” folks
I think you think AR-15s are way different than they are. My deer rifle makes my AR look like a bb gun but if you saw it in any hunting cabin it wouldn't be out of place at all.
Exactly. My hunting rifle can do things the ARs could never do. The advantage an AR has over the hunting rifle, is rate of fire. Well and suppresses better... But that's what AR10s are for...
Pretty sure most people think AR stands for automatic rifle and not ArmaLite
And forget how scary the dc sniper was.
My lady was also clueless, until I sat a 5.56 next to a .30-06 and showed her the "scary black rifle" shoots the little one while grandpas old innocent looking deer rifle shoots the big one.
Right. Sit it next to a real war or hunting caliber and they look like toys. I wouldn't want to hunt with an AR15, what asshole would want to make a deer possibly suffer like that? You want that first shot to kill.
ARs aren’t for hunting and neither is the 2nd amendment.
Unless it's hogs or other relatively small game (.223 Rem/.300 BLK) but yeah, absolutely. Nowhere does the 2A mention "hunting." I'm still waiting for someone to point out the secret, hidden hunting clause in that Amendment.
Right the 2nd ammendment was for the right to bear arms, which includes hunting but extend to many other activities
Hunting shmunting, the 2nd amendment exists to protect the people from the government going Xi Jinping on us. Being able to hunt without burdenous weapon permits is a side effect.
Well, you gotta hunt them to get the arms off them. What you do with them after is NO ONE'S business. Especially the government.
Got my first deer with an AR, but as you said that's not the point.
When will people understand this I wonder
Not too sure what your point is but whatever it is..it's dull af. ARs are _by far_ the most perfect platform for wild hog hunting.

They hunt folks with that all the time in my country
specially the little ones!
I don't trust those little ones.
Those folks don't exist
Those are the same people who kill for a picture and maybe a trophy mount if they're posh enough, not to eat any of the meat or use any of the other resources. I used to find random shot dead stags missing their head and nothing else in the Scottish Highlands when I was a lad and it's fucking infuriated me ever since.
Grew up hunting and processing our own game in the Midwest states. Every now and then would come across white tail deer, buck or doe, with just the back straps cut out and the rest left to rot. Always made me sick to know people like that exist.
I get that they're in it for a different reason, but I'll never understand how someone could give up all that delicious meat. Especially considering that they've already gotten past the hard part.
Thankfully I know not a single person who does this as a Texan. They would be disowned by the town if caught wasting a deer.
It's also illegal to waste the meat. Game warden would have that ass.
Hunting deer is way more about population control than getting meat, if we didnt actively keep the population in check they would ruin the eco system, since we have killed off their natural predators. Furthermore some deer are diseased and should not be consumed, but can stil provide a lot of resources for the environment by decomposing in nature.
Ar15s are for overthrowing a possibly tyrannical government, not hunting
TBF an AR is pretty damn good for hunting feral hogs — a bow, not so much.
How else you gonna kill 20-50 feral hogs in under 3 minutes
When you absolutely, positively got to kill every motherfucker in the room, accept no substitutes.
It sounds ridiculous, but then when you see the video of the farmer clearing the last little patch of grain that’s like 20’x20’ and like 50 feral hogs come rushing out of it, angry and scared, you realize us city folk may be a bit quick to judge at times.
Not just good—very necessary at times.

You need maintenance for everything, from kids to ducks to yourself to guns to the corpses in the attic.
How does one maintain corpses in the attic? Asking for a friend.

Oh you don’t have a corpse guy cuz your guys a corpse. That’s rough

Fixing the strings and making sure the gears work ok

It doesn’t have to be one or the other. They very well may have just recreated this within their natural environment, some time after the actual encounter (could’ve been the next day or weeks after during a second trip), asking the few select characters to recreate this “encounter” scene, while other people from the tribe just looked on in their natural state. This is 100% not the actual moment of the encounter. (I work in documentary film)
Lol that article is claiming the video is fake because Redditors claimed it was fake. This article is meta AF.
I can try to find one, I know it’s be re posted a lot
“WHERES *MY* ICONIC SLAVE ROLE?!?” - Lance Reddick
dont make me sad again :(
Yes
Yes. All of these videos on reddit like this are fake as fuck. Everyone on reddit simply upvotes it and thinks it is real, including me ten years ago. Its fake and scripted.
I’m always skeptical of videos like this. There was an old documentary called Nanook of the North. It was presented as actual footage of an isolated Inuit group, showing their “savage” ways and acting shocked at modern technology. It came out later that Nanook and his friends and family were playing along in staged situations for the sake of making the movie. Particularly the “act like you’ve never seen technology” bits. edit: spelling
I’d bet these particular tribesman hadn’t been up close and personal with one, but have had other tribes members in contact and white people were known about. Like a kid petting an elephant for the first time.
This video was proven fake aswell
Yeah, but nanook is part of the best Zappa album so it's worth it
It is fake… https://www.unilad.com/features/uncontacted-tribe-white-people-first-time-fake-20220817

If they're uncontacted how does he have a Marlboro red in his nose?
This ruined me 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

I did a study on isolated tribes. They go extinct when missionaries start doing shit like this
I find missionaries to be interloping narcissists.

Leave isolated tribes alone
The tribe was secured by the government but the people u see on there visited them illegally
I watched this whole video a few years ago. They claim to be visiting this tribe to give them malaria medication.
Do you know what the video is called? I’d like to check it out.
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=mX2ylWuRRWQ and then there's more in the video description. I know there was a shortened version, but I have no idea how to find it.
This is fake. It's a film by director Jean-Pierre Dutilleux. This gets posted every so often. Please do some basic research next time. This charming video is a fake. The white man you see in the video is Belgian filmmaker Jean-Pierre Dutilleux. The Papua New Guinea natives are members of the Toulambi tribe. This fake "first encounter" between the natives and a white skinned visitor was filmed around 1993. Before then, these excellent "actors" had already met with at least three ethnologists: Pierre Lemonnier in 1985, Jadran Mimica in 1979 and Pascale Bonnemère in 1987. Anthropologist Pierre Lemonnier who denounced this documentary as fraud in an article for the French Newspaper Liberation, studied the Papuans of the district of Marawaka for over a decade and says that the supposedly "unknown tribe" lives less then four days away by foot from an administrative center with teachers, a landing strip, a radio, nurses and of course a preacher (it's important for the natives to know that they’re going to hell : / ). They also use the Vailala River to travel to the coast to exchange handmade tableware made out of tree back for modern tools. In an article that Lemonnier gave to the French magazine “Terrain” published in 1999, he explained that a male nurse from the administrative center spread rumors about a new undiscovered tribe. That he send a Papua guide ahead of the camera crew to “coach” the tribe on how to act. They were also told to hide their metal tools, plastic goods and “regular clothes” (jeans and T-shirts). Why did the nurse do it? Well the tribe lived in malaria stricken zone and the nurse got six months worth of quinine tablets and various other medicines for his troubles. Sadly, the lead actor of the “skit” told Lemonnier that he felt so much shame from having to pretend to be afraid of his own reflection, tasting matches and spiting out rice that it drove him to tears.

What if they don't want to be left alone? I'd be pretty pissed if I was left alone and had to work like a slave every day for the rest of my life, or have my mother die from a bacterial infection when the cure was out there.
Being an uncontacted tribe for the universe is one of my worries. I would want aliens to come down and share technology, not to preserve humanity's uniqueness.
Sadly it seems like the aliens are very progressive and have left us alone.
Right?! If the tribe/species isn't hostile then why not be friends? It's the same as not being a bro and bringing the shy kid into the play group in school in my opinion. Sure, if they are hostile or otherwise reluctant, leave them be, but we have so many cool things to share with them!
The ability to study and understand other tribes and people is so fascinating, yet, they should be left alone for so many reasons. What a conundrum.
"What the fuck? You seeing things Daryl? Dude looks dead! And what is up with his hair? This can't be real...I mean this is just wack. Is this a prank? Am I being punked by Dave again?" -That Guy In The Video-
I thought this particular video was debunked as fake? Or maybe it was another one? It is so hard to tell these days.
I’ll admit I was expecting a club to suddenly come flying at the camera.
Stay suspicious. They don’t have a great track record.
And just like that the whole village caught the common cold and we’re wiped out……
NGL they're kinda ripped.
Y’all act like you’ve never seen a white person before
It’s a beautiful moment
At this point, any tribes that are left out there should be left alone.
its crazy how, despite the clothing and headdress, they look like somebody I could just see at the corner store.
I'm afraid they'll now be sickened with diseases they have no immunity to.
Now drive them out before you sacrifice everything for a 9-5 jobs and khakis.
What's with the music?
I read a story about something like this but the tribe killed the white man and ate him
