First Contact (BBC4 Anthropology Season) - Part 2 of 6

The give away that it was indeed a hoax is the very synthetic looking wigs on their heads, and the posing for the camera. come on if i don`t know what a camera is I would never know to stop and pose for it.

What if a tribe made contact with us and we thought they were black ghosts and stripped them naked and caged them and killed them.

exept were intelligent.

if ive never seen a camera in my life i would think its a weapon and fire not pose

so what if the incounter wasn't a 'real' one of first contact? this BBC filmmaker is just as 'immoral' as the tour guide; it's a western etnocentrism dogma of authenticity. Look, many 'natives' have been screwed indeed by (white) settlers, but 'natives' are PEOPLE with their own choices and interests. They might have a deal going with the tour guide. That's their agency as well, to get money, to project an imagery about their 'native-ness'. They might play with our own stereotypes.

they have powers to decide what it means to be native themselves.

if that encounter had been genuine, the guides would have known it was coming and took off long before! the other commentator is correct, amused Papuans makin good cash of this scam!

Those gold prospectors are putting on a show for everyone, lol. The tourists are being fooled by a bunch of amused Papuans!

crazy peeps
