[smartzazi]

I wish to live in the amazon for at least a year.

between the tall trees and animal sounds, nothing of the material world. Only pure rain and rich oxygen filling my lungs to their limits. Simple life simple people.

That is happiness that we lost Long time ago.

[Ebdan88]

Dont let them cut even one more tree. This kind of polotics comea from people who wants to destroy the planet as soon as possible, and then hide in their underground HOLLS and kill everyone, and when they come up after 40 years or so everything is clean and Holl the world belongs just to them!!? Wake up...Research the Madaska eyelands and why they are growing organic food for themselfs there, and the rest of us get to eat Gen. Manipulated SHEET...Wake up!!

[diliprai]

Hi i am Rai, clan of Kirat tribe of the Himalayas.

We the native should UNITE and fight the globalization that is killing our mother earth. Nowadays people have forgotten about their roots. We are the last defenders of mother earth. If we loose this war, mother nature will send havoc to this materialistic world.

to learn more about my tribe, check the video--> "sakela~the greatest festival of kirat people"

This festival was once suppressed by the Hindu Kings in Nepal.

UniteNativesOfTheWorld

[pigballs911]

if we lose* this war

[cannoir]

@diliprai you don't sound native to me. More like the typical euro raised dude with the exotic taste.I am familiar wih those types .I despise Green peace because 90% of their supporters are the largest consummers of mother nature's vital ressources.Their hypocrisy is baffling.

[b4real89]

ummm ,, wut the hell is wrong with everyone?!! ,, ur talkin about medicines when all these crazy ppl are "naked"!!!! Thats so backward, yo!

[deafencryption]

yo! they have a different culture yo! homeslices down there dont wear clothes because its pointless too homie! yo! dawg! its warm enough that clothes are usless HOMIE!! get some tolerance bitch

[b4real89]

right,, then alla us shud get naked in the summer here in USA, huhh?!! ..maybe its not their culture, but its merely, just cuz they were never given the education on how to live life, like we are ..bitch? ..n me? ..dont make me give u a bitch slap then, asshole!

[deafencryption]

@b4real89 your an ignorant person. you think your way is right and their way is wrong. the only reason we wear clothes here in america is because of the dominant religion. i cant beleive you would make such a big deal out of them being naked ""ur talkin about medicines when all these crazy ppl are "naked"!!!! Thats so backward, yo!"" omfg there NAKED! everyone RUUUUNNN!! lol

[ogskeetdizzle]

@b4real89

are you retarted lol

[b4real89]

@ogskeetdizzle thank you!

[ChronicMist]

@b4real89 this is the way they live dude. it's not about education wtf? it's called CULTURAL DIVERSITY.

[FernandoTorrera]

@b4real89 they dont have clothes because they never had the natural resources to make them. They dont have cotton sheep or linen. What materials they do have for clothes rips easily and lasts only a month so making clothes would be to time consuming when they have other things to do like gathering food.

[mfitzp]

Do you know what plants they're using?

[tacomuybueno]

idk. but i do know that the plant they are putting in their eyes is used for hunting. the jungle can play tricks on your eyes and this helps them see better. it turns their eyes red as hell. looks like they are really stoned.

[combomiconjo]

yes

[5tonyvvvv]

it contains antibacterial properties.they get a buzz from it.its also sniffed. and for sinus infections..these people need to saved before they forest is gone.forever from logging.there is alot of proctected areas now in the rain forest

[5tonyvvvv]

there is more natrual cures found in the rain forest,than all the pharmasitical drugs companies,want to sell you,and there drugs dont work,its all done for money

[nasem89]

Damn these niggas hard core!

[TrustGodsHolyGarden]

in the first chapter of the bible it says I HAVE GIVEN YOU EVERY GREEN HERB WITH A SEED WITHIN ITSELF ON THE FACE OF THE PLANET AND TO YOU IT SHALL BE FOR MEAT-----------TRUST GOD AND TRUST GODS PLANTS

[lauragoes]

Caro James,

espero que você tenha deixado algo de bom lá pros Matis em retribuição ao que "extraiu" deles, ou seja, os seus direitos de imagens. Tem lucrado muito com nossos índios?? VENDENDO seus vídeos no seu site?? Uma tribo que hoje sofre, padece e morre de doenças tão simples como a Hepatite C, e desnutrição... abre sua vida e seus costumes a pessoas como você que as exploram de alguma forma e NADA deixam de positivo pra eles... que pena!

[Erosion77]

So interesting... Thank you

[systematic101]

I find it interesting that youtube has no problem with videos like this having topless women yet if there was a video with some woman that was not from these kinds of tribes topless it would be pulled in no time.

[SuperEcoGirl]

lol. If you're referring to smutty videos of western women then there's no comparison. It's culturally appropriate to be bear chested in this video.

[blacklite911]

Yeah but if you were to show a modern nudist community going about their everyday lives then that would be censored too even though there's no sexual meaning to it what so ever.

[GuruOfTheInternet]

That is more a matter of policy. Typically, you would not censor the private parts of people if you were doing a documantery on a nudist colony. If you were showing scenes from a porno, yes you would censor them.

[blacklite911]

They actually do censor the private parts of a nudist colony though, thats the point.

[TrueGreatness73]

systematic101, seriously. Like those tits are innocent. lol

[systematic101]

And I suppose the tits of women in the developed world are?

[TrueGreatness73]

exactly lolol

[blacklite911]

Because its traditionally like that in american media, nudity is ok as long as its of non-white people who have no technology. They say its educational lol

[GuruOfTheInternet]

Actually, Nudity is only ok in the media when it is being used for educational purposes or as a form of art. There is a big difference between using nudity for teaching and using nudity for pleasure. It has nothing to do with technology or race.

[DecentralizedByGuilt]

@blacklite911 we're all black, natures favorite color. Skin color pigmentation, is only a result of migrating away from the equator. But nevertheless, every single man/women/child today, came from one small group of Negros in Africa that survived Earth's many changes and cataclysm. We're all black, and one race. Those that only see in skin color, have been program to divide and conquer

[blacklite911]

@DecentralizedByGuilt what the hell does that have to do with my point??? random much...

[DecentralizedByGuilt]

you see in skin color, as is evident by your comment. I pointed out what fallacy that is

[blacklite911]

@DecentralizedByGuilt I was talking about nudism and stuff, I just said non-white because thats how the media treats it. Anytime you have an indeginous tribe nudity is uncensored and educational but if the subject is about modern nudism, which can also be educational, is censored in america at least. My point has little to do with black or white, but more about how the media sees indigenous tribes as specimens and not as a thriving community and way of life for people.

[DecentralizedByGuilt]

There is a huge difference between a way of life that has been in existence for a very long time. vs. some weird hippies on a weekend nude trip.

Just turn your TV off if you're so offended by not having enough naked "white people" on your TV

[DecentralizedByGuilt]

lol, just messing with you. Point taken, and I agree. peace

[snitcheskilla]

I bet if you put an american in the forest they wont be able to survive a week. these people are experts

[TheClassicalLiberal]

or anyone from an urbanized culture for that matter

[potator69]

these people are savages!!

[harmonymathews101]

lots of different tribes do that practice all over the world ,there very educated about medicine ,taught and passed on through generations,,,god bless these people

[V7VIMANA]

sorry harmony i clicked the thumb down by mistake lol your comment is spot on

[certifiedhealthnut]

Uso de plantas medicinales por los indios Matis es único en el sentido de que comúnmente se utiliza la planta preparados que se aplican externamente en lugar de ingerirse. Este video documenta el uso de un fármaco para mejorar la visión (bëcchëte) y un medicamento utilizado para el baño de los niños (Tawul). Desafortunadamente , su única medicina está en peligro de perderse.

Medicinal plant use by the Matis Indians is unique in that it commonly uses plant preparations that are applied externally rather than ingested. This video documents the use of a drug to improve vision ( bëcchëte ) and a medicinal bath used for children ( Tawul ). Unfortunately, their unique medicine is in danger of being lost

[BackRoadsWine]

These folks are way more together than it appears. Do you think they spend friday at the mall waving little plastic cards or pushing pieces off paper for fun?

[cosmo1pug]

Nope they spend it dying of disease and ignorance. Sign me up for the cards and women.

[amazontroy]

there is a great company who's mission and vision is to preserve the indigenous tribes and Amazon itself by offering the world LIFE CHANGING herbal remedies.

last year the Cousteau Society filmed them garnering land deeds for the tribes with the Peruvian govn't. it will air this week 4/2/08 & 4/9 8pm on PBS.
