Yeah, because the coro who still believe in witchcraft and kill and eat witches is such a beautiful thing right that must be conserved. What a beautiful tribe
The north Sentinalese are really famous for being the most remote and unknown tribe. They've been in every human interest/shock/curiosity media outlet by now.
Yeah I remember a friend bringing them up and I'm like lol, you hear about the idiot Christian preacher that went to try and convert them and has never been since? What a hoot
Exactly....I think everyone but the sentinalese has gotten the memo! But that effing prick thought he had tthe right to put every single member of the tribe at risk of death!

All he wanted to do was FORCE Jesus into their hearts, which the very thought of that makes me a lil bit angry but what makes me think that he absolutely got what he deserved is that he knew it was illegal to go there but he was more that happy to wipe out every single man, woman and child with some everyday virus for us but would have meant death for all of them. I don't know if I hope religous zealots have got the message or if I hope they didn't get the message....Probably the former because I don't want to see these people wiped of the face of the earth.
Well, how else are you supposed to know they're serious? The first shot could have just been a bad day or their annual day of arrow sharing, so one must always ignore the 10s+ of "murdered" outsiders prior, the arrow to the Bible to believe that you're one of the elite chosen to force feed the legend of sky daddy down the throats of a primitive unsaved people. It takes a special kind of mental illness or just stupidity to blatantly ignore what effectively became a warning shot but likely was intended to be lethal they just didn't know a book would stop an arrow. Dude should've taken it as a sign from God to leave them alone I mean God did create them as they are right?

Something you left out about the Sentinelese: while the first contact was not the best, right after that there was some time where there was a chance for peaceful contact, which was blown by the British by making an attempt to civilize them that involved, among other things, kidnapping of children and old people (who contracted european ilnesses and died) and an attack on one of the villages. They have been deeply hostile to outsiders ever since. They don't even want our food (I believe I remember them eating spoiled food from the colonizers, so they became wary).
They actually have one white man living with them, during a peaceful time he was there sudying their language and customs when he suddenly disapeared and he wasn't seen or heard of for at least ten years until some people tried to land on the island, he was in their war party, photographs were taken of him weilding a spear.....I sincerly hope he has educated them enough to know how dangerous the white man is because both the British and the Americans have a vile history when it comes to ANY indigenous people.
Fair enough I'd say. Of course I'm interested in them from a scientific standpoint, but in all honesty, leave them be. Let them live their lives and never try to contact them again. With the current climate change, their island will be gone within the next 150-200 years, if even that long. A bit sad, but that is the reality we are facing with our current way of civilization.
So one thing about the kidnapping was that there were 5 people kidnapped, two old people, and 3 children, the elderly people died from disease and the children were immediately returned to the island.
@@Patrick3183 leaving aside that I forgot the quote marks in "civilize", I don't know any other word but "colonizer" to refer to people that go to other people's lands, take them as their own and keep the natives around as subordinates at most (slaves as worst). If they displaced or purposefully killed them, "invaders" would be a good fit, but since they intended to keep them around, "colonizers" it is. PS. "infidel" is religious jargon to refer especifically to someone acknowledged to have related beliefs but either follows a different code or goes against the one they supposedly follow. Technically, semi-internal squabbling (and as fit for matter of faith, easily gets very out of hand).
I don't understand why we can't just leave these people alone. They know other societies exist. If they want anything from us they know how and where to find us
😂😂 me laughing even louder at westerners who dress their dogs and cats and spend thousands of dollars on animals that don't serve any real purpose other than "emotional support" 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
John Allen Chau is historically one of my favorite (if not my absolute favorite) examples of "fuck around and find out". He set off to show God to the Sentinelese and they ended up sending him on a one-way trip to his god to tell him that they're not interested. XD
In Queensland, Australia we were taught in school about a New Guinea tribe called the Fore that is similar to the Korowai, at least that was the case back when I was at school. The main reason we were taught about them was because of a disease called Kuru many of them suffer from that is very similar to mad cow disease cause by cannibalism.
Specifically, they were eating the brains of their deceased family members in the belief it kept their spirits alive. If someone invited you to consume his brain after his decease, it was an honor. What happened with Kuru is virtually the same as Cruetzfeld-Jacob, a prion disease similar to “Mad Cow” disease. It’s 100% fatal. Brain eating was outlawed and the disease gradually disappeared by the late 1960’s.
And we wonder why they wouldn't want contact with us....Really telling about humanity, that we would rather burn a wee girl to death so we could chop down a bloody tree! SMH! 😢
Don't forget the Fukawi tribe. Their ancestral lands are vast. It's easy to be adopted into that tribe. Just get completely lost, and announce "We're the Fukawi."
Well, Jesus did say reach the world,so....at least he tried. And there is a picture that surfaced that he is rowing with them in the water still alive.
The first tribe do not live so high up in the trees. The shot of the very high tree house with one man on it was built at the request of the BBC who were making a doc. They were disappointed with the much lower real houses. The reason that it has only one man on it is because all the others refused as it was unstable and dangerous. Good old bbc!
I agree with the end if these people want to be left alone then thats their choice leave them be. Why bother them if they're not hurting anyone well not seeking out anyone to hurt. I mean thats kinda like trying to force a religion etc on someone, its like why the hell does it matter to you if i go to hell isnt that a me problem not a you or us problem
More about tribes!!!! More in depth as far as there is any depth would be intresting too. Like how do they handle menstruation! And are the plates in the way of them eating, do they die from infections from the stretching. Not just the top 10 facts!
@dwaynefoley1020 Because quite a few people actually haven't heard of them. People who are interested in history, sociology, anthropology, etc have heard of them. The pretty much everyone else hasn't. Which I'm sorry to say is a good chunk of the human population as most people just don't care about others outside of themselves. Nor do they care to self-educate
Imagine your first contact with other humans who you had no idea existed is they brutally murder one of your own and destroy your home land with magical loud things you cant comprehend
Now imagine being a Spanish conquistador seeing Cannibalistic tribes eating and raping each other to the point some tribes come up to you and pay you to kill the other tribes. Nuance exists.
@@OneHappyCrazyPerson Not really. it has no nuance at all and is just used to get emotional rises out of people. Stop painting Tribal cultures as angelic children who smoke peace pipes. It's disgusting and racist af.
Im so glad i found a vid about the sentinelese that mentions mahumala chattopadhyay! I was also aurprised to see the korowai. I think the only time ive ever seen them mentioned was in the book Among Cannibals
Whoever wrote this episode, it was really interesting, a lot of these would be great to cover on Into the Shadows or Places, where more of a deep dive can be done
The last guy did it at the worst possible time too, at the height of COVID, knowing there'd be no one to stop him because of it. Bro didn't think about the fact that that also means no one could save him either.
Hey Simon! A lot of these tribes have been filmed by competitors in a competition once called camel trophy. It’s hard to explain, but the first vehicle that a majority of the world ever saw was a Land Rover. Can you do a video on camel trophy? Or maybe some of the first overland expeditions?
Wouldn’t it be nice to be in an isolated place and not be aware of what’s going on in the world? All you worry about is your tribe and survival of yourself and them? I think leaving them alone is best. They seem to have things straight compared to the rest of the world.
So you are saying it would be nice if you, particularly as a woman, would be subjected to every primitive whim of superstitious men? Having to slice off fingers to demonstrate your loyalty, stretching of your neck/lips/ears so everybody knows who owns you? Scarring your body to appear more attractice to men? Grow up. This current life is easy. Turn off the news if you want to tune it out then. There's nothing romantic about what you just watched. Its a horror show, ESPECIALLY for women.
just dont tell the women in that tribe that 4 out of the 5 kids she lost could have been easily saved in a town .....................................................
Talking about strange cultures, from a Western perspective: in the 1990s, on the Discovery channel, I caught a documentary about people in rural Africa, and as part of some kind of offering to the gods this woman breathed into the mouth of a goat, then held the goats mouth and nose closed to suffocate it to death. If I hadn’t seen it myself I’d have a hard time believing anyone would let something like that air on cable television.
That's what we get for encroaching on the territories of wild animals and people.(murc'd I mean) Especially when they've made it quite clear they are NOT interested in anything related to us, except for they seem to appreciate our metal they can use for weapons or cooking. That's all they perceive us as useful for and I can't say I blame them🤷♀️
“Each man calls barbarism whatever is not his own practice; for indeed it seems we have no other test of truth and reason than the example and pattern of the opinions and customs of the country we live in.” - Michel de Montaigne
This is fair, but the argument can be made that it only extends until a certain point- I think killing an innocent person every time someone dies of malaria because the sick person accused them of being a witch is barbarous because it shows a distinct lack of value for human life. Perhaps it is my own “bias”, but that’s a pretty messed up thing to do.
There's some tribes in Papua that have some extremely.... questionable practices involving little boys. I get not judging by my own cultural biases etc. but yeah, there's a point where you gotta be like "whoa"
I adore the Awa but damn mad respect for the Sentinelese, their adamant territorial tendencies are really commendable and hilarious (in that they've been super clear they want outsiders to stay outsiders but fools like that Chau guy keep trying. I would rule his demise a 'stupid death' ala Horrible Histories although of course I have sympathy for his poor family.)
0k, so your clip for "parakeets" were budgerigars, which are only wild in Australia, and specifically arid areas of Australia. Budgerigars do not live in the Amazon.
@@iniudan I know, It's just that he called it a form of dwarfism at 5'3", when in reality it's between 4'10" and 4'3" depending on the country. And that would be called a midget or nowadays a short person because dwarfism comes with other medical problems than the size.
14:19 There was a tale about a man who refused rescue by boat and helicopter during a flood because he believed God would save him. After dying and going to heaven, he complained to God about the lack of a sign, only for God to point out how much more of a clear sign did he need than a boat and a helicopter that it was time to evacuate. I never thought I would see a version of this done in reality. Not to be blasé, but an arrow to the heart being stopped by your bible is as clear a sign you can get to not press your luck. 14:30 I'm sure that this was a meme.
The Indonesian have been partaking in a subtle genocide against the people of west Papua blaming them for skirmishes when in reality they want to eradicate the land for huge mining operations for gold, diamonds and other precious metals, with ties to European and American corporations. It's one of the last atrocities that people rarely hear or talk about.
I thought of that, too! Maybe show them a photo or video and ask if they’ve seen it. Depending upon how they use their eyesight, it’s possible they may be unable to “read” a two dimensional image and translate it into the real thing.
The conflict between the loggers and the indigenous in the Amazon goes quite deep. Racism and looking at other human societies as vermin, standing in the way of your own prosperity, has caused a lot ot atrocities in the past. And continues to do so. Also ironic how the far right in Brazil is supporting logging and stripping indigenous rights, while the far right in Europe is all about keeping "foreigners" from altering the original cultures and traditions. So in the Americas the far right are the foreigners, believing to be superior. In Europe is the "actual" locals, afraid of being inferior and loosing out against outsiders. I guess being in the situation of having a lot more power makes you a) abuse it or b) paranoid of loosing it. Either way becoming a bitter, hostile human being... Maybe power is not actually worth having, considering the price. Just a thought.
To be fair, I wish often that I was shielded from Western society. Dogs are happy because they can't comprehend why a smartphone is so important to us.
My Lady Wife and I talk about moving to the Appalachains, so far up a hollow that we have to order daylight from Amazon and have it delivered by pack mule.
Yes, but Simon is respectful. As odd as their customs may seem, these are still humans, living souls, just like us when we get down to the basics. People sometimes they’re not intelligent or lacking in morals, but I challenge anyone from western civilization to live as they do. My guess is that we wouldn’t last a week due to our lack of intelligence, and there’d be conflict over proper behavior. They certainly do have moral and behavioral standards, only they’re different than ours. We can learn more from them than they from us!
Trivia: The parakeets (Budgies) shown in one part of the video, are not from South America like the tribe being discussed, but in fact live wild in the Australian Outback. 😏
I love the idea that there are still remote tribes of people out there. I’m rooting for their continued survival.

Hold up you say 5'3" is a form of dwarfiism? So without knowing I was telling the truth when I was jockingly calling myself a dwarf.
5'3" is not Dwarfism, but insular dwarfism is a different thing, animal living in a limited range tend to become smaller over the generations.
@@iniudan I know, It's just that he called it a form of dwarfism at 5'3", when in reality it's between 4'10" and 4'3" depending on the country. And that would be called a midget or nowadays a short person because dwarfism comes with other medical problems than the size.
I’m not much taller at 5’4”. I’m Irish, pretty sure I have no relatives among them.
Maranhão state ?!
Very funny Simon spelling 😂
Also is the Northwest of brazil, but didnt knew Amazon could reach there
I like the fact the Sentinelese woman stopped the archer from harming a fellow woman, the sisterhood is real no matter what. ❤
Probably so they can eat her later.

There was a tale about a man who refused rescue by boat and helicopter during a flood because he believed God would save him. After dying and going to heaven, he complained to God about the lack of a sign, only for God to point out how much more of a clear sign did he need than a boat and a helicopter that it was time to evacuate. I never thought I would see a version of this done in reality. Not to be blasé, but an arrow to the heart being stopped by your bible is as clear a sign you can get to not press your luck. 14:30 I'm sure that this was a meme.
Holy shit the Awa are awasome.
The Indonesian have been partaking in a subtle genocide against the people of west Papua blaming them for skirmishes when in reality they want to eradicate the land for huge mining operations for gold, diamonds and other precious metals, with ties to European and American corporations. It's one of the last atrocities that people rarely hear or talk about.
They have much contact with the outside world through the light box, but little physical contact with others.
I bet the dnai have seen that elusive Tasmanian tiger that's supposed to be extinct everywhere else.
I thought of that, too! Maybe show them a photo or video and ask if they’ve seen it. Depending upon how they use their eyesight, it’s possible they may be unable to “read” a two dimensional image and translate it into the real thing.
I feel like we swept a bit fast over the 8yr old Awa grils being burned by…… lumberjacks? What the actual fck?!
Anthropology majors are like "I've heard of everyone of them and had to write a paper".
The conflict between the loggers and the indigenous in the Amazon goes quite deep. Racism and looking at other human societies as vermin, standing in the way of your own prosperity, has caused a lot ot atrocities in the past. And continues to do so.
Also ironic how the far right in Brazil is supporting logging and stripping indigenous rights, while the far right in Europe is all about keeping "foreigners" from altering the original cultures and traditions. So in the Americas the far right are the foreigners, believing to be superior. In Europe is the "actual" locals, afraid of being inferior and loosing out against outsiders. I guess being in the situation of having a lot more power makes you a) abuse it or b) paranoid of loosing it. Either way becoming a bitter, hostile human being... Maybe power is not actually worth having, considering the price. Just a thought.
You’re pretty racist against Europeans
what you cant see but will hit you.
A Sentinelese arrow
Five strange remote tribes you've definitely heard of from TH-cam
OG Brain blaze TRIBE?! We are a international tribe of followers. We live in the shadows and shine in the dark
Someone is a witch just about the time they get hungry.
I went to a lecture where an anthropologist said every mountain in Papua has a tribe, and every tribe seems to have a completely different language.
Remote tribes tend to believe connecting with outsiders will mean the end of the world. Ironically this is what many missionaries believe too.
Who is there to say that our ways and traditions are correct? We can't even agree if Pineapple should ever be on a pizza!
Time to learn from Professor Simon Whistle ;p
Ah yes. All are favorites of the Lizard Overlords. Allegedly. Cheers
😂😂😂
To be fair, I wish often that I was shielded from Western society. Dogs are happy because they can't comprehend why a smartphone is so important to us.
My Lady Wife and I talk about moving to the Appalachains, so far up a hollow that we have to order daylight from Amazon and have it delivered by pack mule.
@@ostlandr”lady wife” 🙄
The way you pronounced Maranhão is atrocious and as a Brazilian I love it! 😂
From now on I'll call myself Emil the Ghost Demon
13:49 do u think they were more comfortable because she was a woman?
I think that may have played a part
Possibly, since it hadn’t been tried before. We know so little they could be a matriarchal society or respect the mate of a leader.
@@SharonHF or maybe since there such a small tribe they consider genders equally?
living in a remote tribe is difficult, for your tv keep changing channel....dog dang !
1:16 big ahh itch
Thank u for covering this topic respectfully and not taking their culture and traditions for a joke
Yes, but Simon is respectful. As odd as their customs may seem, these are still humans, living souls, just like us when we get down to the basics. People sometimes they’re not intelligent or lacking in morals, but I challenge anyone from western civilization to live as they do. My guess is that we wouldn’t last a week due to our lack of intelligence, and there’d be conflict over proper behavior. They certainly do have moral and behavioral standards, only they’re different than ours. We can learn more from them than they from us!
Aww I was hoping they called us white devil like in ace Ventura😂
White demon is cool too tho
Not wrong about the bats
Like counting coup, it's all about honour,prestige and power.
May they be protected from our insanity forever.
Trivia: The parakeets (Budgies) shown in one part of the video, are not from South America like the tribe being discussed, but in fact live wild in the Australian Outback.
😏
Shorts as a hat and a dress as a bag…… 💀
😂 imagine writing the report on that.
I've actually heard of all of them.
Barbaric
Well now i have to visit the first tribe, i am a warlock after all
They often say " tastes like chicken "
I doubt those Australian Budgerigars are found in the Amazon rainforest.
I could see the koteka becoming a fashion trend in the west. Does Whole Foods sell water pumpkins?
I love watching the videos of the tribes but I wouldn’t want to live there Maybe visit only if welcome and not hostile
What also floats? ……”Very small rocks”
Huh, ive actually heard of the sentinel tribe
