the footage you are seeing is unedited the only addition is the voice of John Pierre according to what way they don't believe that the white man exists but if they do that makes me one of the Living Dead when I lose my balance there seem a little reassured goes don't fall I guess at this precise moment and convinced that he's going to let loose his arrow maybe he wants to see if it will pass through my body or not they are both cheerful and frightened at the same time this one tells the woman to stay back they look a little more determined at this time of wonder what it means I feel it's important to show them by peaceful intentions Michelle my assistant has kept the remaining Porter's away from the scene and Philip the cameraman is hiding about 60 feet behind me he sees Phillip who must look like a strange creature who's an eye of a camera instead of a human face Philip has been on previous expeditions with me and he knows these stone axes have deadly weapons this one for some reason he's terrified by my black bag he tastes the salt that I brought as a gift danger his breathing is short a sign of fear you after the sold are showing matches he burns his hand as if he can't believe this is real fire this feels like a meeting in a time war perhaps this to lambie with their wooden Spears and stone axes are the living ancestors of we who have learned to fly without wings talk with the Stars and destroy our own planet it is not a case of once bitten twice shy the bravest warrior wants to know more about the gift of fire sticks from one of the Living Dead but he discovers the phosphorus on the matches tastes awful the gift of instant fire seems to convince the two Lombe the duty a living dead or not is socially acceptable or at least is no immediate threat with what may be one of the oldest gestures of humankind the right hand the weapon hand is offered in greeting but to Lombe look at Jean Pierre's pale skin as if it could be paint but what the Living Dead be warm made of flesh and bone and muscle just as they are it seems like the two Lumbee have never seen a white man and that they're finally prepared to believe their own eyes belong soft hair of the Caucasian is clearly another wonder of the world this debate leads to a final acceptance of duty but the women remain suspicious now the two Lumbee urged jean-pierre to join them on the other side of the river in the next episode of tribal journeys the two Lombe will confront more modern technology and jumpy air due to yer will make an unprecedented trip into the Stone Age you

He's not afraid, he's confused why the guy doesn't know how to shake a hand.

I more like the pictures of the tribal women meeting a white woman for the first time, and they compare boobs: NSFW: https://imgur.com/a/3oH6A

i'm sure I've seen this before and it was all set up. This looks like it was filmed in the 90s maybe and they would have seen a white man way before that.

"The long soft hair of the Caucasian is clearly another wonder of the world."

some question about whether this is authentic here

At that spot, they were about a four-day walk from an administrative center with a school teacher, an airstrip, radio, nurse and Seventh-Day Adventist preachers. Nearby, the navigable river Vailala enables the Papuans to reach the coast, where they exchange bark capes for tools.

holy shit, the psychology behind this video is amazing. there is not more scary and later, gratifying then facing your own stability. they certainly did wake up expecting to see a while devil in their mist..... great find and awsome post, thats not something people ever see ultra rare

The way he touches his hand is exactly the same as the primal monkeys at the start of 2001: A Space Oddysey:
