      That mirror part is amazing. I wonder what would happen if I showed them my smartphone.

      This explains why they have to be contacted. They have to be known around the world otherwise loggers will just take their forest and they wont be shooting with pictures…

      they better hope the white men from town don’t find any oil or valuable minerals on their land.  There goes the neighborhood…culture, health, and so on.

      I wonder what language they speak…if they can communicate using anything but gestures. For that matter, they may not even recognize gestures we take for granted like head shakes for yes/no. That would be scary as hell for me even as ‘the white person.’ Very cool though. I too hope their lives aren’t ruined by this.

      How do you explain to someone like that what a mirror IS? How fascinating to watch.

    • Brittany Polk a year ago

      this was the worst thing they could’ve done to those people

    • mpc a year ago

      Uh dude, they’re not petting you. They’re trying to wipe the white off you.

    • Juliet V a year ago

      Terrible idea. Every single time an uncontacted tribe has been contacted they have all died off from the Western world’s colds and flu. It’s disastrous to them, they have no immunity against it. This is really sad.

    • marcman84 a year ago

      How do they cut/shave their hair if they have never seen a knife before? That huge axe looking thing? Also, now they are gonna think everyone in the outside world wears 70’s basketball shorts.

      They immediately lost their land and will no longer live in harmony with nature again after this was filmed. Thanks again white people! On the bright side, they will have I-phones and Snookie soon.

    • Aaarrrggg a year ago

      Awesome! Makes me feel like an alien! :)

    • The next video in this series is actually the white man giving the natives blankets laced with smallpox but Youtube removed it.

      7:30: Why didn’t anyone tell me my feather was on backwards?

    • wow, tears came to my eyes watching this…..amazing beyond words.

      Also~ am I the only one who thought “one wrong move and those axes will be swinging…”
