Awesome! I like how the cleared area is minimal and most of their village is under rainforest canopy and well planted!

I have seen this video before and a few years ago I got a little interested in the subject. I went online and found some really interesting information. If my memory serves me correctly, there are over 20 different tribes in the world which refuses any contact from any outsiders and are legally protected from outside contact. How amazing. It is almost incomprehensible that in this day and age with all our advancements and "wondrous" technology, that people like this still exist on our planet>> (which is becoming devastated and so much smaller by the minute). It really reminds me of some unreal science fiction story where the stone age people are met by beings from the future or something.............and then of course in the end the really 'advanced" idiots ruin it for everyone and the whole planet blows up!

Especially when you consider what Monsanto and other multi national corporations are doing.

They don't need or want Technology,

They have very little use for clothes. They have no use for crockery, cutlery. Those people are Indigenous. They take nothing except what they need from the jungle to keep alive.

They eat fish from the rivers, berries etc from trees.

Whoever found those people must learn to live with the consequences when the loggers set foot on their ancestral land and boot them out. At the end of the day its their home, has been for many decades.


In Sarawak. In the old days a great many years ago there were no title deeds only 'the spoken word'...Rajah Brooke spoke warnings that they would lose the land, have it taken from under their feet...and so it came to pass...

I'd agree that they don't need modern technology, but clearly they have tools.

You are saying they are hunter-gatherers, which I could agree with. Now apparently their population is not growing so the life-expectancy is low and the mortality rate is high. It is a reasonable trade-off for living as they do.

Whoever found these people have no responsibility in the advance of mining and logging operations. The latter will be driven by economics and resources, not the presence of natives.

If they are indigenous people, then it has been their homeland much longer than decades.

Wrote this twice, lost it twice,

Here is an Orangutan fishing. Its the first time an Orangutan fished....also found himself a tool to fish with...

I guess thats how those Indigenous people used to catch food, probably still do. I object to 'digs' disturbing the dead but I suppose it teaches us how our ancestors used to live.

Now having found those new communities someone else will want to know how they came to be there originally.

Humans, orangutans, and all sorts of animals make and use tools (wikipedia). Even more fun, there are some animals that make toys . I suppose most people wouldn't be too surprised to learn that ravens break off twigs to play with socially.

Very interesting! I really do hope that they are left alone, but I doubt that they will be free of human contact for that much longer. The Amazon Rainforest is definitely shrinking and sometime in the future, they may even see their own community being chopped down so a farm can be made.

I think that modern society would come as a huge culture shock for these people. Imagine Aliens coming to Earth saying that they are human beings that have left Earth long ago and have all of this uncomprehendable technology. Its the same kind of thing for them.

They must be very deep into the rain forest to have never even noticed a road or boat in the water. It gives some hope that there are places on Earth that are still untouched by humans.
