Waorani tribe: Marriage ceremony - Tribal Wives - BBC

[ldhummingbird]

WTF is this about? A marriage ceremony? BBC, what are you playing at?

[literaturechick12]

I would have stayed married to him! He seems so sweet ... and the woman is so sisterly and kind. Hell I would have stayed.

[ItsCalledKpop]

aww god that would SUCK!!

[theoldschoolfool1]

awww i thought it was cute, he said he would wait for her, she must of broke his little heart when she had to go

[jignaeri]

stupid bitch

[atd87atd87]

wat the fuck isshes doing ,,,, old saggy bitch 

[harper16]

1:35 DRANK AYEEE YOU WANKER!!

[nunayobiz]

Cut the British broad some slack, they GRABBED her in the middle of the night and said "You're married!"

(Except for never being there in the first place), What the hell was she supposed to do?

Wonder if he got any goodbye action or at the very least a handy.

[yawenalice]

That's so messed up. For her, it's all a play... but for him, it was real. It's like your wife just got up one day and said she's done playing this game. 

[longfootbuddy]

@yawenalice i think they all knew it wasnt a real marriage.. for one thing, they all knew she was going back..for a second thing, they knew she had family at home.. for third thing, he didnt seem to upset...at all

[yawenalice]

@longfootbuddy Actually, he looked pretty upset to me. And if she had to explain to him (at the end), then that means he didn't understand it before.

[longfootbuddy]

@yawenalice nah

[Iterif1]

@yawenalice ikr. it was horrible (yet it made me chuckle) when he said "i'll be waiting for you." and she's like "well, it's very unlikely i'll be coming back"

[sitdownstandup91]

LOL escuse me people its not like she asked to get married to him. How could they expect her to stay? geez

[atd87atd87]

BITCH CUD FIND A HUSBAND AT HOME, WAT A PIECE OF CRAP!!!!!

[kimjeongyun]

i like the comments people say during the "wedding" - you must not leave this man, you two should be like birds in a nest, etc.... it's really sweet :)

[kilomekilome]

really so dumb...

[rmdort]

how can she be so dumb

[FireFlysNeverDie]

She feels bad, she is crying. She understand what she did.

[quieroamor808]

hi,

i am sorry if you feel upset about my comments. afte all is just a video.

thanks

[eszames]

I founded this video grose, it´s a tipical colonialist aproach, "white smart people showing dum indians what´s real about life!!" I hated it, specially that poor man who she´s got married to, incredible, Is it all fake or you are just too stupids? How can you play whith his most important feelings and believes? disgusting show!!!

[quieroamor808]

Hi,

I am british and also was born in the amazon jungle, I came to UK in 2002 and really hurts deep in my heart to see how this lady went to make fun of my people. Did you have a good lough Karen?

[waponix]

@quieroamor808 . Please speak directly to Penti if you want to understand more than you see here ? This is a short edited clip. I continue to campaign to save the yasuni . I count the Huoarani as my friends frankly rather than bitching about me you could all do a bit of campaigning and save the Yasuni ? My conscious is good . waponi xx

[incaecuatoriano]

@waponix this is a big battle that you have in your hands, thank you very much if you continue fighting to help us I am going home in december and i hope to hear nice histories about you.

Kind regards

quieroamor808

[SamuelitoRubio]

From an anthropological stand point, this is a very silly thing that accurately portrays Western thought. Millennium hand and shrimp, bugger it.

[adelking66]

did he fuck it her?

[sammelina12]

woow people calm down. obviously they knew she wouldnt stay there - its not her home.

[eszames]

@sammelina12 This is a disgusting show, grose!!! who cares if they knoe or not? this woman played with his most important believes and feeling!! no excuse!!!!

[sammelina12]

@eszames you can't judge so quickly! We all make mistakes. We do. But she was only there for how long...? And he wanted to marry her? She had no other choice. If you were in that position you would do the same thing. Yes, she shouldn't have said yes to marrying him, but then again, she can't stay there for the rest of her life and live among them...she has family elsewhere.

[quieroamor808]

@sammelina12 hi,

so, you said that is ok to make fun of people who have no education to show off on the internet?

I am not saying that she should be there for the rest of her life as that is not her place but as a waorani I say that my people have nothing deserve or to be treated like that. that man one of my kind my brother has feelings as well. Also she had choice she could said not at any time and that would be it. We are no monsters we respect everybody

[sammelina12]

@quieroamor808 you judge me very quickly.........I never said it was okay for people to make fun of others and put it on youtube. But if you watch the video, it's like she didn't even know what she was getting in to. It's funny how you think I was depicting you and "your people" as monsters......Although I never clued in at all that that was my opinion. So where you got that I don't know...

[annalexx]

bitch

[annalexx]

what on earth! It‘s the same as if she got married the US or Europe or else and just after marrying left. What a bitch. They have opened before her and she has just disgraced them. It will come back to her.

[TheMylodog]

FUCKING STUPID BITCH!!!

[funkymash]

The tribe totally accepted her! Even so far as to marry her to one of their hunters.

Obviously we don't know exactly what happened after she left and what happened to her husband but she was accepted totally by them. How is that horrific on her part? She even said that it's not a choice - otherwise I doubt she'd have done it, knowing that she'd have to leave.

[SamuelitoRubio]

@funkymash Horrific is an overstatement. The reality is that this is really just another quirky reality show designed to be enjoyable to watch and a bit sensational. It provides almost zero relative information to the lives of the Huaorani, because that's not what it's there for. The Huaorani are a fascinating people, and worthy of much study, but this really does them an injustice, I think.

[Avanchorda]

This is awfuL! This man may never be allowed to marry again because of some ridiculous British woman having a cultural outing!

[TheSapphireDragon1]

THIS IS SO WRONG

LIKE THAT JAPANESE PORNO

FUCKING AND TRAVELING

[TheRichestCadaver]

You just broke Pocohontas's heart.

[fraekoud]

good women take now DATEMEDEAR.INFO

[meowkie]

This is heartbreaking. :(

[k0vert]

hell i'd stay.

[ifuckedyourbitchs]

GANGBANG!!!

[TheSapphireDragon1]

oh my god

this is horrible

[SmokeyCough]

the fuck is wrong with the bbc..

[whycantipost]

Um these are some of the worst tribal documentary videos I have ever seen. He obviously didn't think they were really married or that she was going to stay. At the end they actually tried to make it seem that way. I found it kind of demeaning. Or is she really just that stupid?

[goodlife404]

That is cruel and if that woman had not planed oh staying she should have ever married him..she played along and should be ashamed of herself.

[kittenfetus666]

That made me cry when she started crying, I could tell she didn't want to hurt his feelings.

[MsKatja86]

oh my god....white people.

[annie10103]

@MsKatja86

racist

[Alcavexus]

I think the man and the tirbe were dead serious! He acutally loved her

[vonbiron]

I wouldn't do this to a house pet, To have a little hunky -punky, OK, bot gain. But faking a marriage for the sake of a cheap video, that is cruel and arrogant white man's behavior, which by 21th cent. should count as passé.

[vonbiron]

@takingvegas -Well, I said it with irony, but she and her kind seem to think that this whole experience of movie making in exotic settings of the "wild" Amazon, was with some kind of homo-erectus tribe. What ever good intention was there in play, this clip does not show it. Thus I can only form opinion on what I see here. I And I see that she has taken the poor man for a ride, than ditched him leaving. That is cruel and yes / very uncivilized..

[thetealady66]

@vonbiron I just watched the whole programme, it changes the perception from this clip alone... I highly recommed it!

[annie57g]

hahaha i might have actually stayed there!

[nora50]

I think he might love her.

I think she handled it well. what's the alternative?

[NebunLaCap]

shes a whore she just wants some jungle dick

[motorola99]

well atleast she didnt get raped.

[Slipjig9]

not a bad lookin' guy

[Deezhan]

playing with people like that is a shame! that tribe took it seriously! why the fuck didn't she bring a translator!!? bbc has lots of cash dammit!

[topbluffa1]

i love the way the woman at 2:00 talks to sweet.

i dont know whys he didnt stay, she thought it wasn't a possibility because it was unrealistic? when really there was no reason she could not.

id like her to find a nice guy like that in England.

"im sorry i have to go"

you don't HAVE to go she WANTED to go.

i hope hes allowed more than one wife.

i would of stayed with these guys or the Mentawai fuck western life.

[bonjouretavoir]

thts so sad!!

but she honestly shouldn't hav messed with him

just becuz they don't follow the same protocols as the western culture

[Iamapirate5]

I wish I could spend some time with this tribe. I think it would teach me a lot. It would teach everyone a lot if they saw how some people live.

[waponix]

check out" Life under threat "video which sadly has not had as many views and is more important

[FALUBWA]

@2:08 did i hear her say macarena negroma give me my money?? n karen is diggin the dude. jst too bad they wernt married the first week she got there cuz she be getting some of that tribal loving.

[dchizzle09]

these equadorians looks asian.

[Carmencuchita]

@dchizzle09Ecuadorians and people from the Americas in general; look like people from any corner of the world as we are the descendants of immigrants who came to the 'new world' looking for a better life. Read about our history, when there was abject poverty/famines in Europe, socio/religious/civil wars in Asia, the middle east, we were seen as the 'land of opportunities'.

[dchizzle09]

@Carmencuchita ok what i meant was there are certain aspects/features of "your: people " that look asian. Nothing wrong with that asians are strong proud people. Be proud that you look like us and also you look unique, peace.

[Carmencuchita]

@dchizzle09 Slavery brought our African brothers and sisters, so as you can see, we are the real 'melting pot' of the world. By the way what you mean we "look asian," in the Americas asian people are the chinese, japanese, you know the 'asian tigers' I don't think I have any asian features neither my mother nor my father and the indigenous people, they are red skin and they have their own particular and unique features

[archempress]

Like how did they get together and decide on marrying her.

"Who wants that strange pale woman?" and somebody just said

"Coin toss."

[vonbiron]

@archempress

Well, they did come from Asia, some 70 000 years ago... ;-)

[Tattlefox]

aww that's so sad :(

[samana1fromsomalia]

that is wrong in very sense of the word. why would you play with another human beings heart like that? it is completely unnecessary. can you imagine traveling to some other country marrying someone and than breaking their heart.

[topbluffa1]

and the guy said he would always wait there for her.

mean of her.

[CattivoRagazzo13]

then he killed her.

[maloking]

BItch is Ugly as shit lol

[kamayarii]

Guys, they even say in the video that the tribe chose her to be married. She doesn't seem to have influenced that decision in any way; she's sleeping and they just bust in and marry her to Ewenginto ahaha. It's awesome, and I'm sure they understood that she had to go home to her family. They're not stupid.

[Roadie92]

"I will be here waiting for you" That was so sweet.

[Athena9631]

Karen is beautiful.

[MACKATTACK1970]

@Athena9631

Karen is UGLY as HELL!

Do yourself a favor and get your eyes checked.

[newyorkbushi]

that was sweet nice vid

[RwKhuti]

that bitch is a piece of shit!

[pNcNat]

@TheHugeMass LMFAO.

[Carmencuchita]

Guys, check out Ewenginto on this video. He's fast becoming a celebrity in his own right in the Amazon jungle

Yasuni ITT Documentary 2009

[werecatgirl]

they were so accepting and kind.

[MACKATTACK1970]

This is pathetic!

Why have a marriage ceremony if you don't intend to stay in the marriage? Is it because this is all fun and games and not to be taken seriously since this tribe is not following the same protocal as the western world?

This is not a documentary, it is a pathetic attempt at a reality show. Leave these simple people alone and stop exploting them.

Damn pompous ass S.O.P. British, they are responsible to this day for all the harm they have inflicted on the world.

[Llarky]

@MACKATTACK1970 I can not agree more.

Ewenginto: "I will be waiting for you."

Karen: "It's very unlikely that I will come back." Ha.

[vlvl21]

I think is this wrong to play with other people emotions.

[titochanchi]

One more sad example of how the BBC has decided to gear away from true documentary film-making into cheap thoughtless invasive reality shows to entertain the masses. These beautiful people opened their lives and homes to the BBC and instead of helping to bring awareness about a different way of life which we could all learn from, they chose to make it a sorry spectacle of abuse and deceit. In the words of a BBC-related "director" (u know who u r)..culture is boring and doesn't sell anymore. Sad.

[netfedex]

Ha Ha Ha

Twiza

[vonbiron]

Playing with people like that - shame! They are not toys, they are human persons too, even if they are not English.

[FernandoTorrera]

@vonbiron they did a surpise attack wedding. She was sleeping and next thing she knows she is in a wedding ceremony. Lol I think she handled it well because she didnt emberrass him by cutting off the wedding and just went along with it until later she said look buddy I gotta go home.

[vonbiron]

@FernandoTorrera

Thanks Fernando. Your explanation makes sense. The impression given in the video is not enough to see it from that angle. The lady is presented like a tourist, insensitive to the costumes and feelings of the people who's hospitality she enjoyed.

[NebunLaCap]

@vonbiron they are toys

[leophilippines]

@vonbiron playing game?

[takingvegas]

@vonbiron Even if they are not English? Its not a prerequisite of the human race to be English nor to be English speaking...

[littledaemon]

run woman run...

[MoodyCupcake]

Lol it's heartwarming to see how they seem to get along well.

[happier34]

Why did she went on with the celebration again?

[mystasher]

you've broken his heart and now he will go and slay an animal in your name. then bring it back for dinner...

[muiere2]

so did they?

[Dealz1988]

i wonder if I could marry the at 2:00 I would bring her back to America lol

[hassleandhurrylife19]

she was the same lady in 1:46 i think she's married lol

[Sjovn]

I read somewhere on the Internet that Ewenginto also said "I shall think of you every night". It's very sad. I really hope Karen visits them again since they've come to treat her like a member of the community. Tribal people can form very deep bonds, I know because I come from one.

[mynameisjorel]

i wonder if that dude will actually wait for her come-back... so sad..

[AmSpoiled]

trible understand english/?

[arekussu]

i asked myself too :P

i think he understands the words >" marry" and "go",, and that emotion she shows, that could be enough to understand what is going on i think.

[BaileyCalebLove]

They had translators. That's why they change shot between each person talking, editing out the translators explanation.

[danagasta1]

What is it with the Brits and studying non-white people like we're lab rats?

[BaileyCalebLove]

I'm going to assume you didn't actually watch the series. I found it to be more about the British women learning about themselves based on their experiences, one of the women had been an alcoholic and hated herself previous to the experience. It's not about colour, non-white British women took part in the show too.

[cthorste]

@danagasta1 i suppose British people are the only ones who want to understand foreign cultures. it's better than being ignorant of the rest of the world.

[wavedestroyer]

@cthorste Go around the globe and ask to , arapahoe, cherokee , navajo , lakota , hawaiian, mazatecos, tarahumaras, huichol, mixtecos, mapuches, rapa nuis, shibibo-conibo, shuar , yanomamisetc etc etc etc , and get surprised, please inform yourself,

Western society has been the cancer of Mother Earth since 7000 B.P.

[he11okitty15]

damn...that's one thing u gotta be careful about when living with other communities, hahahahaah!

[jenp27]

look what she did. went and got married in the jungle

[wackysimfilms]

his hair is sexy! and his skin

[ssargman]

i wonder if she actually had sex with the tribal guy before leaving as part of "been married".

[Sjovn]

No, doubt it... it's said she spent the night alone.

[ThornUvDaath777]

The guy who narrates this always sounds like someone's about to butcher his family.

[anitaalford]

Why do she have sun burn around her eyes?

[helema23]

that was dye they use in ceromonies!! at least she let him down easily!!

[iraqifalsteeny4ever]

i feel sad for him but if she nice women give one 7 days of sex let him be happy man

[helema23]

ok she wouldnt do that... it would make it harder on both of them!! i would convence any woman my husband loved that much to stay with him.. i wouldnt stand in the way of another woman to be happy nor would i stan din the way of his happiness so long as i get along with th esecond wife!!

[mbdoula]

I don't think she should have been allowed to leave....why was their marriage not as binding as any other? She accepted them and they accepted her. Had she declined or something in that way right away that would have been different but she didn't. So I think she should have stayed....she married that man. She joined his tribe.

[helema23]

umm actually in many tribes the woman sdoes not really choose!! they match women and men as to whom is the best match for the community!!

[xymex]

aww he was really sweet....too bad he got turned down.

[estupefacto8]

poor guy i hope they translated what she was saying to him

the women are beautiful there

[Carmencuchita]

Thanks for the compliment!

[420y2k]

@estupefacto8 you are gay

[0xHalox0]

the lady didn't want to stay haha.... I wonder what the Tribal man's full response was.....

[mindyourownbusiness7]

a great hunter!

[fortmeeker]

shes def coming back

[stephjuhler999]

Cool! It seems nice to have been accepted in the tribe as a member of the family.

First post!
