[JihadJoeC4]

Hugz anyone?

[atd87atd87]

watch 0:11 to 0:19 . man is f@cking pedo

[fool1shmortal]

I don't know. It looks like the child is molesting the old ma. Elder abuse! Elder abuse!

[Mirzabey]

its finally time to contact these uncontacted primitive "beings" and teach them that they are humans not animals.they are following the civilisation 3000 years (if not more ) behind.

[TheSammypickle]

@Mirzabey maybe they are happy

[TheSammypickle]

@Mirzabey also when the shit hits the fan and the world modern civilisation is destroyed (if), imma go live with these dudes

[trilobright]

Are they really naked, or do they wear penis gourds/grass skirts for the ladies? They're not one and the same, a New Guinean man missing his pen0r sheath in public would be just as embarrassed as a New Yorker who woke up naked on the subway at rush hour.

[aishacadenza]

Thank God for Christopher Columbus or I may have ended just like these people :S

[TankedBludlust]

97 people were paedophiles..

[TechRax]

im suprised that old guy didn't get stabbed to death

[Masterstudent98]

is it not timet to counter human greed and give space for people who have lived their way for hundreds of years?

what kind of world will our children live in if all the natural resources cut down and mined - starting with Gold and other minerals so someone can boast with a rock on the neck or get their teeth implanted with diamonds...

it is time for us to respect their way of life, the awesome knowledge of natural medicine and survival - and be smart when we face Nature's present desasters...

[WarmongerWW3]

@Masterstudent98 What "medicine"? Life expectancy in a savage tribe like this is often 45 years or less. They are simply primitive.

[LOUISIANASCAJUNS123]

leave it alone simple

[dragonxanimation]

am i the only one wondering wtf is that thing in there lip for and why is that that pedophile getting a massage from a naked kid

[suarezjaguar]

It is a matter that belongs to South America. NGOs should be banned from here.

[TheWaggaBloke]

it's ok mate I have rel's who are from papua and it's ok for me to call 'em indian or Natives but if I call'em late for Dinner then their Really pissed! so I'm not really troubled by you getting ya nickers in a twist!! so be good and remember I love you too.

[mbrushoff]

Leave them alone ass wipe.

[atd87atd87]

that bold man is a pedophile dont let him near them

[phoenixmoon2000]

I am really interested to travel & observe the nature of Amazon tribes

[meowlittlesweetkitty]

i noticed that the native amazonians seem to look like south-east asians...

[Enigma1UK]

This is how it was many thousands of years ago, so why change it? Problem i, these people may not have a home in 30 - 40 years, because of the Oil that is needed in the world, therefore these people's homes are destroyed.

[Gilroben]

May I say something like a brazilian?

I like when people around the world show interest in defending our forests. But it's not good to remember that the civilized countries have destroyed their natural resouces and want us to not use ours for the environmental healthiness.

[magicraker]

Doesn't anyone else find it hipocratic that they are aload to show people naked when they are tribal, but if we post a naked video of "civilized" people it gets taken off the site? I find that disrespectful and condescending towards the tribes. It's basically suggesting that they are of a different species, so it's ok to show them nude, like you would with a video of animals.

[lucy9359]

the problem is that as they come to have less jungle left to hide in they kill each other....

[TheWaggaBloke]

I wish the world would start taking a Bloody Stand with the world Goverments and stop this Reap of the forest and let the Indians in the forest be.

[aquamarine705]

@TheWaggaBloke i really wish people would stop calling native people indians

[TheWaggaBloke]

@aquamarine705 Get over ya self! it's a figure of speach you goose..

[aquamarine705]

@TheWaggaBloke I dont understand how the "get over yourself" comment applies, but Im Indian, and i just never understood why people cant just call them Natives.

[noholdsbarredbl]

Soon as these people are taken into the western world the government fuck there brains up with techno and cancer causing foods and basically fucked them complete. If they stay there they have better life unless us SHEEPLE people of the western world. Goverment AIDS, CANCER, SHIT FOODS, MONEY on and on

[lonedoghowling]

Stupid enough to live in harmony with their environment.

Exist for thousands of years. There is no room in this world for such people. I hope they can survive a few more years. They will be the only humans left. The civilized ones become more cancerous with every degree of civilization. Their only want is to destroy everything in search of pleasure. And deny that truth.

[Freepepsi42]

lol i was right and my teacher said people can't live naked in the rainforest...stupid bitch........

[pretorianteacher]

@Freepepsi42 Yeeaah ...For sure!! ... These guys in the video must be professional actors who made a fucking in their jaws just to appear in a BBC documental ... The kind of moron you and your teacher are ...!!!

[Freepepsi42]

@pretorianteacher WTF?!?!?!? i don't see where i said they were professinal actors, all i posted was that i was right my teacher was wrong you must be mentally retarded.

[Anton77bln]

Amazonia is NOT the lung of the world. It’s South America lung. You yankees, Europeans and Japs go looking for your own lung (which will be difficult to find, since you have been destructing your very last forests continuously for the past 4 centuries), hands off Amazonia!!!!!!!

[arbide3]

@Anton77bln Amazonia is not the lung of anywhere, that is a myth. The lung of the world is the algae in the oceans, that is why the air is rich in oxygen; the Amazon could dissapear completely and the air would still be breathable, but I agree that the Amozon should be protected and left alone.

[laurens890]

@arbide3 You must not forget that deforestation accounts for 20 % of CO2 emition. Asides, the forest trees produce so much rain, that if too much of the Amazon is deforested, important agricultural areas in Brazil(outside the Amazon) and even as far away as Europe would lack rain, which would be produced by the Amazon rainforest. Much of the rain produced by the trees in the Amazon, are blown away to other areas around the world.

[AlDavisHudson]

This video is sad...

[marixsa1995rocks]

you see they are not harmful we are more dangerous then them they are just asking people to help them save not only their people but their home habitat and i think we should do that

[miceskin]

What they need is the absence of the white man and cameras. uhhmmmm. . . . I'm confused.

[88bluebirds]

@miceskin no absence of the modern man fuck face! brown brazilians have been trying to exploit them for the last century

[miceskin]

@88bluebirds My bad, but you see the point I am trying to make yes? Any influence whether good or bad is still an influence on these people. Their culture will never be the same. Once they see our technology they will want more and more, until they willingly give up their old ways. I wish I could warn our ancestors, but I cannot.

[mswinsdor21]

Cameraman focused too much on asses! Seems to be a Gay!

[mswinsdor21]

Cameraman focussed too much on asses! Seems to be a Gay!

[radiohasfailedusall]

i just sat through a +2 minute advertisement to see a 3 minute clip.

[zuwenaw]

You don't think those people don't have their own ways of treating themselves? You think Western medicine is the only Godsend? Educate yourself a little, it doesn't hurt. I promise.

[88bluebirds]

@zuwenaw yes these people have some amazing things that doctors havent even discoverd,but alot also die alot younger than they should for the sake of somthing as basic as an injection or aspring. but u made a decent point tho

[olie4054]

I really wish I could go live in the rainforest : /

[marumito]

the Brasilian Govt. Is Deaf from the concerns about tribal lands but it is Not immune to corporate skulduggery by BIG multinationals trying to convert the rain-forest into a wasteland for Big Profit! WHAT A SAD SAD PICTURE THIS IS!!! yet they criticize the US for it's Corruption... they are NO Better than the Western Govt. they despise!!!

[dimensionsofearth]

Sending my love to these beautiful and balanced people

[Daogamer]

Look at them, all they have to worry about is finding food, so peaceful. They are lucky in a way.

[bob2me2002]

Modern society really is comparable to the matrix movie in which people only exist to power this anti-human machine. It makes me realise that countries and borders are only imaginary lines man has draw upon a map, they mean nothing to those who haven’t been indoctrinated into our way of life. I guess the question is, what is the price of “progress”?

[shorts]

1:17 "whys this guy wearing clothes??"

[zuwenaw]

@komninosm FYI - I have been to remote areas as this in Africa and S. America. Maybe if you get out of your comfort zone a little more you could see the world a little better. Tech is not all bad, but it's not all good either. If all this computer, cell phone, yada yada goes away then what? The people in the forests will be the ones to out survive we "modernized" ones. We have lost how to live in and with nature. Signed the idiot.

[junglebeat500]

it would be awesome to see the native amazon people come to know Jesus as their Lord and savoir!

[komninosm]

@junglebeat500 i hope you're being sarcastic...

[johnsynyster]

@junglebeat500 you mean get their brains all washed?

[ammusi]

wow - these people have no bills, no taxes, no insurance, no pensions, no forms to fill out, no banks accounts, no wallets or credit cards, no morning traffic - I'm almost tempted to join them.

[tmprogram]

developing brazils stupid economy is not worth destroying the amazon

[zuwenaw]

...and again another clueless being.

[zuwenaw]

I think you totally missed the point.

[psyamin]

the lip spike is from the egyptian culture

[reddog3331]

we have got to save  the amazon

[longfootbuddy]

that lip spike is ridiculous

[N00bcrunch3r]

1:23: Then what is that guy doing there?

[420y2k]

0:25 + me thinking this camera guy is a flamer

[rainandmanda]

THESE PEOPLE FREAKING KILL THEIR KIDS AS A PART OF THEIR TRADITION. THEY BURY THEM ALIVE.. LIKE WTF IS THAT!? THERES YOUTUBE VIDEOS OF IT!

[tanusangelo]

somebody buy them some underwear,

[manilaok79]

M.A.M.I.T.A

movement against missionaries in the amazones

help stop missionaries from damaging the culture and belifes of tribes.

[MissArmyNurse]

they-re eating worms ecky... but this the way they live .. how they will survive in winter times and how they cure themselves my gush ...

[jemmre]

"Development"? "Progress"? These words have lost all meaning in an ecologically sound world. In terms of increasing biodiversity they are seen as not only destructive and backwards, but down right crazy. These people are truly developed, they have mastered their environment without destroying it. Now that's what i call sustainable progress.

[returnoftheramble]

We've got to leave somebody back there for when modern society fails.

[iiCubefly]

I agree, Avatar the new movie is something of amazment, and if we haden't made technology, and abused the planet that we live on, we'd be something of similarity, and that would be something to be proud of, but it's just amazing that we still have something of the wild, such as the amazon, and people living off the nature, and not relying on shops and money. It's amazing

[JavierGuevaraVera]

The Mission-the movie

[xake19]

Don't forget Christian religious fundamentalists who wants to destroy their culture and way of life.

[xake19]

Honey you are forgetting the most obvious problem of all!

Christian Fundamentalist who wants to convert these friendly tribes to their myths.

Christian fundamentalist who wants to destroy the culture and way of life to "save their soul".

What a bunch of BS these religious fundamentalist are! All they do is destroy the environment and countless cultures they touched.

[texaspete66]

what is the name of this tribe ? zoa ?

[5tonyvvvv]

zoe,when we cut all forest down they will all be dead..all modern man does is destroy everything..we will die too

[u5chi1]

You sound stupid

[lachlanSB]

hahahhahahah............ that is the best comment ever

[BAZULTRA]

How could we!

[AJwentyoyoyoyo]

i say we leave them alone, we want them to be alive not to be in a museum

[nataleoprasetio]

probably when the last tribe in the world extinct, so is mankind

[smcmillan88]

They look so relaxed and innocent but I think even interacting with them and bringing in cameras is the beginning of their assimilation.

[laurens890]

Only when the last tree is cut, people will see that you can't eat money.

Just leave these people alone!

[topoblue]

This people are the hope for a diverse, rich and stable world, if we make them disapear because of our ego then the world is nothing but sure to die. This of course is because the unsustainable way we "civilized' cultures live. Let them live, let them teach us what we so much desire, the utopia, the perfect society. They hold the key for humans to prosper. They are older than God itself.

Stop confusing destruction with progress, the rain forest needs to live so that all life can prevail.

[sararagga]

an example to mankind!

[rongenman]

Very sad indeed, they are humans just like us. We are from but one Creator, we absolutely must be! We should take care of them and preserve their habitat just as habitat is preserved for wild animals...Good gracious!!! They are Human Beings!! Look at them!!! Just like me and you!!! maybe we could give them a few iron tools in exchange for some of their DNA to study

[topoblue]

I dont think we need their DNA, what we need is to learn from them is the prespective of the world. Humans are just another species and as such we should not overpopulate it and destroy it. This people have known for centuries that if they ought to survive they need to follow such laws. To understand these laws I talk about I recommend reading Ishmael by Daniel Quinn

[AngelFallsRocks]

sad tale of how the world is shrinking.

[flattilre]

Boy, all this stuff about how evil Columbus and the Europeans are, then everybody else does the same thing, only now it's 2009! What a bunch of idiots.

[defect530]

What makes them different then any society that has been ruled or conquered. It is going to, and will happen. Sad

[JohnAppers]

I am Brazilian and I have a great deal of respect to native people all over the world.

Regarding Brazilian native people, we should leave them ALONE. The contact with our society is detrimental to our native people.

God bless them and their innocence.

[acerb45666555]

i think the missionaries got to them. no tattoos, no paint, thats the first stage of cultural assassination! next theyll be wearing rags doing errands for stinking gold miners! so fuckin sad. they need a Crazy Horse!! a tough ass kicker who can make them fierce again!!

[Arachnomancy]

So sad to see such a sincere and comfortable group of peoples getting fucked over by the colossally ignorant plague that is modern society. We & those (who live currently or were raised in urban environments) have such a far greater and far different set of problems, it is disturbing. It will eventually lead to the ultimate downfall of the human species if we keep it up at this pace.

Look at these peaceful cultures being desecrated by us. I say 'us' for the time being because I don't want to...

[Arachnomancy]

Seem contradictory by being in front of a computer screen typing this; this is awful. Their lives are so beautifully simple and they live the way a human was meant to... they survive under the beauty and potential wrath of nature in one of its rawest forms, have amazing resourcefulness, and they live in tightly-knit groups so that everyone is well acquainted with one another. I hate to seem preachy, but shit, it seems the tree is pulling away at its own roots. I can't wait to live in the forest.

[thoostorm4]

@Arachnomancy whiet mans civilization always means death

[GeoOneloveHipHop]

@Arachnomancy very well said. the fealing of helplesness overwhelms me sometimes. im not good with english even tho i am english but what i mean is, i realy cant see the human race pulling thru and living in natural time rather then mechanical time. and living at one with nature, let alone with each other.

peace to you and yours

[Mastodon704]

@Arachnomancy I agree with most of what you just said.

But try watching "origins of faith-Disturbing" video and tell me what you think.

[nickyjam305]

everyone should live like this in peace & harmony!!!!!!!

[zuwenaw]

Its a beautiful thing to see ppl living one with nature. This techn age has retared us. No one knows how to live off the land anymore. We're screwed if all this tech goes away. There mindset about sex/nudity is superior, unlike perverts who have retarded brains. A woman/man can walk around naked without being raped. A child can do the same w/o being molested. Who can do that in the modern world? And we think of ourselves as superior? Not a chance!

[Dhaune]

just cuz you are a fucking retarded loser does not mean everyone else is too, go to town man, go to town

[lambofgod661]

@zuwenaw  im superior

[yvesttt]

@zuwenaw oh c'mon, If you live like them. you are not able to enjoy your life as you enjoy it by now. These people need to be modernized.... They are left behind!

[TheTentin]

@yvesttt sad to hear such ignorance.

[jwb864]

@zuwenaw how in the world do know noone has got raped or molested...i would like to see your proof.. did you go live with them?

[lwgreendog18]

@zuwenawu wouldnt of seen this without youtube and ur fancy laptop so sthu

[komninosm]

@zuwenaw why don't you stop using the internet and your computer then and walk there to live among them? No airplane or cars aloud, use a horse and your feet idiot.

[skiningspliffs]

@zuwenaw im am a 14 yr old boy and all i can say is you couldn't be any more rite

[TheMambavenom]

@zuwenaw It's called being civilised.

[Alnis12]

@zuwenaw How do u know, that they are not raped? How do u know that they don't beat they children? They lives isn't better than ours... Just saying

[Cupit29]

@zuwenaw Fine. Go and dance naked in the forest and be one with nature. But when nature infects you, don't come crawling back to us for your antibiotics.

[united7866]

@zuwenaw disgusting...

[BlackSunElite]

@zuwenaw Yeah! they also mutilated there bodies, eat bugs and rats, have no education, and infrastructure of there own. But we're not superior! In all seriousness though. They may well have some noble and even useful attributes that we can learn from. But at the end of the day no one in the right mind can say amazon tribal culture and society is equal to that of the developed world. I think they deserve rights to there traditional land. But cultural relativism is silliness.

[zuwenaw]

Man...u are on old, perverted, ahole!

[JAMONITDJCOM]

I saw the Yawalapita tribe on the travel channel the other night. Wow, I wanna go to the Amazon. The Indian women got some BOOTY and they don't wear any clothes!!! Wonder if they really understand what a real ORGASM would feel like with me laying the pipe to them? The men would get jealous with my 9" sticking straight out. I could start a whole new tribe with American/Amazonian bloodline.

A new sista hood with booty tighter than a J-Lo butt. Gotta luv it! Awe, Git It Girls!! :-)

[cactusbini]

ispingarlhiado. palhaço

[Tetzukai]

What's the thing under their lower lip or chin? What significance does it have?

[jusdandy]

As more tribes become extinct the nearer we get to our own tribe becoming extinct!

That's the way it is in the natural world.

One day we will all be extinct.

Don't feel sad. Nothing lasts forever. Not the trilobites. Not the dinosaurs. Not the mammoths. Not the humans. Of any kind.

Including us.

[OxEyeChai]

At least a few people in the world get the !!!PRIVILEGE!!! to live as true Hominidae.

It's an Existance I aspire too....

Land COST'S money in "Man's" WorldView, that's why oxI got involved with the... Space Program

-INDIGENOUS CULTURAL FOUNDATION-

We don't need Donations, just Volunteers. ((SpaceMonkey's)Like YOu?)

Anybody Want:- A NEW CAREER (Working too Harmonise these two worlds Globally) Get in Touch. With TheOXiC...Me

[kenjiari]

thanks for doing this!! it's a shame in my country.

[prAzYahweh]

I would like to know, what on earth drives some poeple to impale themselves with bones, and branches, and anything for that matter. As naturally as they live, that is very unnatural.

[VonHub3r]

well it's called tradition / believe / fashion...

[OxEyeChai]

I have a Theory, Early Hominids possibly had lots of "Body Hair".As "Man" evolved he slowly lost his need for that hair, in fact it may even have become a hindrance to his Survival in some case's, due to grooming requirments? any decent hunter could adorn furs so the hairy people died out there. Egyption Pharos also wore similer "beards". Maybe connected?

In a short lifespan maybe to symbolise maturity? Here maturity is regognised equally between male and female?

What can exist outside nature?

[prAzYahweh]

that doesn't explain why some people pierce themselves with random materials, bones, make slices in their skin that scar up later making bumps so they have aligator resemblance. It's just not natural.

[prAzYahweh]

excellent point. Now it's evident that it is just far easier for me to comprehend the reasons for doings of our culture than of theirs. They just life by a whole different set of values i suppose that are so different from ours.

[OxEyeChai]

They're values are based on the exactly the same principles as our's. Our's just cost a lot more.

[prAzYahweh]

i can see that

[rablane]

no time is expensive to us n mats. r cheep but its the opps. to them

[veeganboy]

@prAzYahweh : These people are more "natural" than you or I will ever be. Tribal piercing, tattooing and scarring is as old as the tribes themselves. Before clothing, they were ways that the individuals adorned themselves, and how tribes distinguished between the various clans.

[nonameisavailable]

What about piercings, hair transplants, facelifts, botox, or breast implants. A branch hanging from your chin is no more weird than carrying chemical silicon in your bossoms. At least branches or bones are natural elements.

Silicon, on the other hand, is a factory manufactured chemical element. Or in your own words, 'unnatural'.

[0DarkDeano0]

Your a dick head.

[Royals68]

what wit dem naked foos. bust a cap ya err meh, N.O fo life
