Speaker 1 (00:00):
Do you eat humans? I have tasted human playing How
did human taste?
Speaker 2 (00:04):
That's super super yummy.
Speaker 1 (00:06):
The meat is really soft, like snake or chicken meat.
Speaker 2 (00:08):
It is really soft meat.
Speaker 3 (00:09):
Deep in the remote jungle of West Papua and isolated
from the modern world. This is the Bowsy tribe, famous
for hunting crocodiles, snakes, and the heads of their enemies.
Speaker 2 (00:20):
When they missionally arrived, they saw wide and then they
want to taste. Maybe this taste is different. They kill
and then taste. This is not a joke.
Speaker 3 (00:28):
But do these people still eat humans? How is life
in the remote jungle far away from civilization and in
the year twenty twenty five, how much of their culture
has survived the world trying to civilize them. I began
my quest into the remote jungle of West Popua. I'm
an undisclosed beach rendezvousing with my survival guy Dan here
to help make sure I didn't end up getting eaten myself.
Speaker 4 (00:51):
Now what you see is a lot of these guys
that try to go and tell stories. They go to
basically the Disneyland version of Papua, where guys dress up
and do songs and dances and talk about cannibalism. We're
gonna out where it's the real, legitimate people just living
their lives, and we're gonna get real stories, and we're
gonna see where that goes. I can tell you this
is some of the most intense jungle I've ever been to.
Last time I got there, I just got bit the
f up, just swollen legs, crazy stuff. So we have
(01:13):
crocks in the water, snakes and all kinds of crazy
stuff in the jungle, because this is probably one of
the worst places in the world when you get deep
in the jungle for bugs. Been to a lot of
jungles and this one's rough.
Speaker 1 (01:22):
And who am I here with?
Speaker 2 (01:23):
Hello, I'm Dammy. I'm a trifixer for special interest clients
like you guys.
Speaker 3 (01:27):
My special interest is figuring out what's going on out
here in the jungle.
Speaker 1 (01:30):
And your father was a cannibal.
Speaker 2 (01:32):
Exactly, I'm the son of the cannibal. If I well
trained by my father, If no more met, then one
of you guys must be ten.
Speaker 1 (01:39):
And you're not joking.
Speaker 2 (01:40):
This is no joke.
Speaker 3 (01:41):
Okay, we're taking off. Do people actively get eaten by
crocs out here?
Speaker 1 (01:46):
Hey?
Speaker 5 (01:46):
Do?
Speaker 1 (01:46):
Still?
Speaker 3 (01:47):
Yeah, we're headed to the jungle right now. Two hour
boat ride. This thing's gonna get quick. Hopefully we don't
flip over and fly into crocodile infested waters.
Speaker 1 (01:57):
There are over I.
Speaker 4 (01:58):
Think two hundred and seventy six language which is just
in this part of Papua. On the other side of
Papua New Guinea, there's something close to eight hundred. You're
talking close to eleven hundred languages on one island. That
might mean that thirty percent of all spoken languages on
Earth are here on this one island.
Speaker 1 (02:13):
I see people over there. I see it, dude, Dan.
I don't know how primitive or modernized these people are anymore.
And I gotta be honest, I'm a little bit spooked.
Speaker 3 (02:21):
If we were to come here uninvited, would we be
met with some violence are told to leave.
Speaker 4 (02:25):
This is kind of a wild West, I think in general,
like most pleasure in the world, most people are.
Speaker 1 (02:29):
Kind of nice.
Speaker 4 (02:30):
But if you step wrong, because this is a wild West,
these could go so.
Speaker 1 (02:34):
Probably gonna see guys honey with spear styles. They are
thousands of.
Speaker 4 (02:37):
Years old, and they they still have cell photes.
Speaker 3 (02:39):
We are an inflection point in history where a lot
of us may be lost thousands of.
Speaker 4 (02:43):
Time to get it and documented, and.
Speaker 1 (02:44):
It looks like this is our parking spot.
Speaker 3 (02:46):
So we made it to our first pit stop on
the outskirts of the jungle to pick up some local tribesmen.
You'll notice his clothing is about as modern as it gets,
if the weapons he's bringing with him are about as
traditional as they come, with the exception of the metal
tips on the beers. Throughout this video, you should keep
an eye out for some of the modern technology that
this tribe incorporates into their age old traditions. As the
(03:08):
short form video content scrolls, you are witnessing the effects
of globalization at a scale never before seen. Instagram reels
have penetrated even the darkest, deepest of jungles. We then
headed further along the river to pick up a local
(03:29):
chief chilling with his family while recovering from a long
night of drinking. We were drunking too.
Speaker 1 (03:38):
Good to me too Tonight we'll be for crocodile hunting,
for hunting crocodiles.
Speaker 2 (03:42):
We go for hunting crocodile for our me tonight or
maybe tomorrow.
Speaker 1 (03:46):
Crocodiles. Can I help you kill a crocodile?
Speaker 2 (03:49):
You'll help him because I'm also scared, really, but he's not.
Speaker 1 (03:53):
Okay, we've recruited a full party. I believe my god.
Speaker 3 (03:59):
It's walking from It's like a tightrope. All right, we're
hopping out. This is no joke here.
Speaker 1 (04:05):
We got some big ants in front of me as well.
Speaker 3 (04:08):
But before we chat about cannibalism, hunting humans in tribal wars,
and how modern technology is changing their way of life,
we first had to make shelter before the sun went
down and the countless bugs that live here began their
feast on our flesh. We got the machetes out here
that he's just terriforming cutting the lawn here. If you will,
you're gonna chop down that tree.
Speaker 1 (04:28):
Work.
Speaker 3 (04:31):
As we set up camp a few feet off the
shore of crocodile infested waters, with mosquitoes already beginning to
eat us alive, you might be wondering what else in
this jungle is able to kill you.
Speaker 1 (04:40):
On the unique list.
Speaker 4 (04:42):
We have snakes, we have crocodiles, scorpions, we have centipedes,
we have spiders. We have all kinds of stuff out
here that can bite, sting you, and do all kinds
of other fun things.
Speaker 1 (04:52):
We're gonna go out and hunt. We can get some
food tonight.
Speaker 3 (04:54):
And before we explore the Papuan rainforest, home to some
of the richest biodiversity on Earth. Twenty of things that
can kill you live. I wanted to learn a bit
more about the Bowsy tribe and the history of cannibalism
in Papua. Tell me about the history of cannibalism and
your father's relationship with cannibalism.
Speaker 2 (05:10):
My father life is really super cruel and then he
see other people or other tribes as a something to
be hand, as a myath, fresh mat to be killed,
the way to feed in the family, he must fight
and then not only him, but with his friends go
fight another clans and then they eat them. My father
(05:31):
is super super Cannibal's eat humans as a myath.
Speaker 1 (05:35):
Where are you from.
Speaker 2 (05:36):
I'm from mahagland of Papua. We call it Yadi tribes.
That is the most of the Balian Valley. Yadi tribe
is they call the last cannibal tribes in Papua. Cannibalism
stop almost nineteen eighties.
Speaker 1 (05:49):
Why did they eat humans?
Speaker 2 (05:50):
They see human as something to be hanged, something to
become as a part of the meat.
Speaker 1 (05:56):
Why did the tribes hate each other? Why are they fighting?
Speaker 2 (05:59):
It's a long long fightings amongst the ancestors. So they
have become enemy and so the generation must be a
fight with them. If not, then they will to become
a loser, and then they can come and attack the
feelers anytime. That's why they have to fight back, not
only killing, but they have to cook the body. Maybe
if you be training me and then maybe if I
(06:20):
tried them, I don't know.
Speaker 1 (06:21):
What happened, maybe you'd be capable too.
Speaker 2 (06:24):
Oh yeah, I see human something to be eaten. So
I can kill anybody and then I cook eat.
Speaker 1 (06:33):
How did human taste? According to your father?
Speaker 2 (06:36):
It tastes like crocodiles, like cashwar. My father cast war,
I already eaten and then also crocodile, and I can
feel it. I can feel the human plus taste. I
want to explain it. I heard him in Africa or
I don't know. That boat is one thousand dollars for ahead.
I want to taste. I want to go to Africa
just to compare my father feelings and then me want
(06:59):
to saying, want to see how it tasted the way
my father used to it a little bit morbid. This
is not my big dream, but I hope one day
I go there and an experience what I had. The
DNA of mine is well connected, not emotionally but blood lines.
That's why I want to just experience in Africa. I
(07:19):
want to go to Africa because Papua is no more
honey balist than Yali is the last and I want
to go one day.
Speaker 1 (07:25):
Your dream is to go to Africa and eat human meat.
Speaker 2 (07:28):
Human meat, whatever the cat or boats or whatever bat
of the body. Because my friends told me that they're
sailing there. I'm with my father well connected. Oh this
is the taste, that's it.
Speaker 1 (07:37):
Just that's crazy, that's so crazy, that's that's.
Speaker 2 (07:41):
Super super yummy. My father said we must try. We
must go to Africa.
Speaker 1 (07:48):
Are any tribes eating humans in Papua Now?
Speaker 2 (07:51):
No more eating human people are civilized.
Speaker 1 (07:53):
So we came here.
Speaker 3 (07:54):
I was surprised to see a speedboat that we took
to get in here. Not everyone's not wearing leaves. We
have some modern clothing. Tell me about how Papua has
evolved and where you expected to go in the future.
Speaker 2 (08:06):
Every generation is different perspective. People are need to be
changed from the stone ages life nineteenth century. Now it's
twenty twenty five. So people are especially for young young generation.
They want to go to university, they want to be doctor,
they want to be a pilot, they want to live
in a better life.
Speaker 1 (08:25):
How did you get out of the Highlands.
Speaker 2 (08:26):
When like five years seven years old? I knew that
there is no other people out there, only as because
my village is only mountain wall and I knew that
there is no more others. But when I surprised when
the missionary airplane come and then landing in the one
villages and then what what is this? And who is
what is his name? That's a plane? Who took this plane?
(08:47):
How there's a missionaries? What is missionaries? But from the German?
Where is German? So white people from far away? Ah?
So then I realized that there is other people outside
from my village.
Speaker 1 (08:57):
How did your village react to the white people that came.
Speaker 2 (09:00):
And cook and then eat the missionary?
Speaker 1 (09:01):
What Jesus you try to eat them?
Speaker 2 (09:03):
My father friends kill the missionary. And then when the
missionary arrived, they so wide and then they want to
taste Maybe these taste is different. They kill and then taste.
This is not a joke.
Speaker 3 (09:14):
So was it known in your village that if white
people come they will get eaten.
Speaker 2 (09:18):
Now they say sorry for what happened. Sorry we kill you,
we ate you because we want to taste different or
maybe different tastes, and then they say sorry to the
missionary is family and they make any incision.
Speaker 3 (09:29):
So let's say one of the try members got a
disease or sickness, would they go to the hospital in
the city or they sort of just die here.
Speaker 2 (09:37):
In the jungle. Mostly they die because of malaria because
of the snake bites, also sometimes calling trees, and also
when they go hunting, pigs bite bit them and then
poisoning their wounds pick up bigger and then more more
die in the forest that get cured by modern doctor
because it's also need money and then access to go
(09:59):
there to walk. It's also really difficult, so better they
try with traditional medicine like from the vines, but sometimes
they get.
Speaker 3 (10:07):
Well, what do you think the leading cause of death
for the paps is here in the jungle.
Speaker 2 (10:11):
Before it's killing each other, tribal war, but now mostly
because of the if they go hunting that can be
bitten written by the wildlife or can be snake bites
mostly or malaria, mostly malaria. But if you want to
see the way they go for hunting, staying in the
camp in the forest, and then we do join with
the local people go for hunting. That's the real things
(10:33):
that we are going to do. It's not made for tourists.
That's the way the can you just people survive in
the forest. But it's it's not fake.
Speaker 3 (10:41):
Before we learn how human meat tastes from a cannibal. Firsthand,
our shelter looks like it's finished. Now that we have
the rainproof shelter, we need a hammock to lay our bodies.
That's top in the sky.
Speaker 1 (10:55):
Oh, hold on, there you are. How are you doing? Yes?
What's your name? You're very strong?
Speaker 2 (11:07):
Vido?
Speaker 1 (11:08):
How is this process right now? Are you enjoying? This?
Is this tiring? Let's come a little closer. How are
you feeling right now? Good?
Speaker 3 (11:21):
Good morning?
Speaker 1 (11:23):
Do you get bit by the mosquitoes?
Speaker 4 (11:25):
No?
Speaker 3 (11:26):
No, okay, okay. This bump three two one reveal Hey,
we have massive brain clouds about to brain hell fire
upon us with a storm on the way. What good
(11:48):
is a shelter without some dinner? Hunted using the Bowsie
tribes traditional methods.
Speaker 1 (11:53):
Where are we going?
Speaker 2 (11:53):
Okay, we are going now hunting with the local people,
going hunting cuscus uh, wallabi and then kangaroo.
Speaker 1 (12:04):
How do we intend on catching a wallaby or a kangaroo?
Those guys are quick.
Speaker 2 (12:07):
If we admit, then we go with the hunting dogs.
It's exactly we can't get it. It's like it's possible.
Speaker 1 (12:12):
Do I need to be ready to sprint?
Speaker 6 (12:14):
We're not gonna hunt any other humans, so.
Speaker 2 (12:17):
This is not hunting human. This is like one Las
five here for our meat for tomorrow.
Speaker 3 (12:23):
The way ahead of us right now with multiple spheres.
We have dogs, we have beneath us thick jungle.
Speaker 6 (12:29):
Not sure what I'm not sure what science specifically he's
looking for, but it seems like he's led by a
million years of human history.
Speaker 3 (12:40):
Laid in hand. He trots forth. We haven't seen a
single other organism out here. All I hear though, is
the methodic cut of branch by branch. Well, we weren't
having much luck hunting in the jungle. What if we
hunt it in the water?
Speaker 1 (12:55):
I mean, what are you thinking? We feel safe getting
the boone going crock hunting.
Speaker 2 (12:58):
The heavy rain will come and superb.
Speaker 1 (13:02):
Life short right, it's yea, all right.
Speaker 7 (13:08):
We're looking for bright eyes in the water right now,
that'll mean we've found the crock. We're gonna turned the
flash off. He killed that shop we found look at where? Okay,
we have found the crocodile. They're trying to identify the eyes,
not trying to blind the croc. And he has found
the croc. Let's see if we can see it.
Speaker 3 (13:25):
I see it.
Speaker 1 (13:28):
I see him.
Speaker 8 (13:29):
I see him. I spotted him. Let's kill him. He
needs to die. I see him. Wow, that is spooky
right there, I see him, I see him.
Speaker 1 (13:41):
I see him. Give the new light's left left, left,
right there, right there? All right, we've seen three crocks.
That one just went underwater again. I saw its beady eyes.
Speaker 3 (13:52):
It's a little bit creepy knowing there are that many
crocodiles out here.
Speaker 1 (13:55):
Right now, how do we go for the kill shot? Where? Oh? Okay,
he's gonna try to kill the crock.
Speaker 3 (14:07):
That's a crock killing spear right there, plus five daysterity
plus four strength. It's starting to rain heavily. Now we
might want to reconsider how long we want to be
out here. Another one right there, rock yep I see
him point it there, he is there, he is see
him clear as day.
Speaker 1 (14:20):
That's a full long crock. I think he's gonna go
for the kill. Shot. Are we gonna try to kill him?
That's perfect for a kill, he said, He.
Speaker 5 (14:27):
Goes does guys, don't heavy rains come? We go back
to the meskeft Okay, we're boarding. We saw the crocodiles.
We know they're out here, but it's raining too heavily.
We had to go to sleep, stay dry ish even
though we're already wet.
Speaker 6 (14:37):
All right, we made it who back in camp empty
handed and with one less of our brothers.
Speaker 3 (14:44):
All right, right now, I basically had to make the
choice between wanting to have heat stroke or getting bitten.
So I chosen to keep one layer of the shirt
on and taking the bite straight in the end. Now,
I'm not gonna put a second shirt on and we're
I'll pass out. Do they heat stroke? It is that
high and these guys are raw dogging.
Speaker 1 (14:59):
This shirtless right now is taking the bites like champs.
Speaker 3 (15:02):
Tomorrow, we're about to hear a story from an ex cannibal,
a man who practiced cannibalism and has two witnesses here
some pretty dark stuff.
Speaker 1 (15:09):
I suppose he's watching girls shake through.
Speaker 2 (15:13):
Sticking.
Speaker 1 (15:16):
Hell yeah, I think he's just watching it on loop.
He's watching them dance on loop.
Speaker 2 (15:36):
There and then.
Speaker 1 (15:42):
He's stuck in the loop.
Speaker 3 (15:43):
Right now, after we ate some dinner that we brought
with us in case of a failed hunt, it was
time to sleep and this mosquito infested hell the camera
does not realistically capture how many bugs were out here.
Speaker 1 (16:00):
All right, right now, I'm going to sleep.
Speaker 2 (16:02):
Tomorrow we wake up, we go out of it again.
Speaker 1 (16:09):
I'm praying this cat holes around screwed.
Speaker 9 (16:13):
I am somewhat because that's my only pair of shoes.
I had to hop out of the tent take a leak.
I found that my boots are completely soaked, which is
bad because that's my only pair of shoes. Writing NonStop
all night rookie mistake, and that might actually fill me over.
Speaker 3 (16:32):
What's a little foggy and ominous, misty foggy day. The
dogs didn't get much sleep either, neither did we. Dan
just said, how messed up is my back? You got
absolutely demolished.
Speaker 4 (16:42):
To have the kissing bugs have these little playing microscopic
bugs out here.
Speaker 1 (16:46):
They just wreck then tore up too, man b Yeah,
you tore up a bit in the middle.
Speaker 3 (16:53):
Before we go hunting again for some pig in the jungle,
I want to introduce you to the chief whose family
has had a unique relation ship with cannibals.
Speaker 1 (17:01):
Real quick, I'd be like going down the road. You fucked.

Speaker 1 (17:24):
I'm here with one of the chiefs. What is your name,
sir ho? Have you ever eaten a human before?
Speaker 2 (17:37):
Only highland people of the Bouzi they eat.
Speaker 3 (17:40):
The Boozi tribe only helped kill and then they would
give them to the highland tribes to eat. His tribe
was your parents generation cannibals? Did your parents grow up
fighting in tribal wars and killing each other? At what
point did you know the tribe stopped fighting and killing
(18:01):
each other?
Speaker 1 (18:22):
I four an I If you kill my friend, I
kill your friend. If you kill my mom, I kill
your mom.
Speaker 3 (18:27):
Have you ever been to a supermarket before where they
have all the food displayed in front of you and
you can pick whatever you want. How did the Boozi
tribe gain its reputation as headhunters? How do you guys
(18:54):
implement a law and order in a pu in society?
Do you guys have a policing system where if someone
does something bad they get attacked by the other tribe
members too much?
Speaker 1 (19:16):
Wow?
Speaker 3 (19:17):
So if someone were to get raped in the village,
how would that be handled? Is there some sort of
punishment system? Do you ever watch girls shake their ass
on TikTok?
Speaker 1 (19:31):
Yeah? What is your favorite type of woman? Black Asian?
White Indian?
Speaker 3 (19:37):
And if we came back one day and brought a
beautiful white woman who wanted to marry you, would you
take on a second wife because that means you'd be
interested in Now, okay, what's what's the biggest change you've
seen in the tribe since you were alive? A Have
(20:01):
you ever tried McDonald's. Are you happy with the changes
of new technology that's come in?
Speaker 1 (20:10):
It seemed like.
Speaker 3 (20:11):
Cannibalism was the ultimate form of asserting dominance and instilling
fear within your enemies. This type of cannibalism is called
exo cannibalism, when you eat people outside of your social group,
like an enemy tribe, versus endo cannibalism, like some Highlanders practice,
where you might eat let's say, your dead mother out
of love and respect to make sure her soul makes
(20:31):
it to the afterlife. Will neither type seem to be
actively practiced today. That doesn't mean there aren't some old
timers out here who remember the taste of human flesh.
But before we talked about killing and eating people, let's
go back in the jungle and try to kill some
pigs for lunch.
Speaker 1 (20:46):
All right, we're about to go hunting right now. What
are we hunting for? Demi?
Speaker 6 (20:49):
Uh?
Speaker 2 (20:50):
We go hunting a wild pigs? Now, wild pigs expected
to also hand.
Speaker 1 (20:57):
And he's gonna do the hunting.
Speaker 3 (20:58):
He's a hunting daytime this time around, so right now
because they are looking for bird.
Speaker 4 (21:04):
So the way this works, the honey dogs are out
and they'll you only hear when they start chasing stuff,
and you'll hear them switch whistles when they have something,
and the dogs will drive the game back towards the hunters.
So they can shoot it pretty straightforward, pretty straightforward. If
you're listening to those whistles, that's basically echo location for
the dogs.
Speaker 1 (21:21):
They got something, Oh that was a bird. I mean,
how long have they been doing this?
Speaker 2 (21:25):
Almost millions of years, especially from their ancestors, and then
they're still doing it generation to the generations.
Speaker 1 (21:32):
How different is this hunting than how they did it
millions of years ago?
Speaker 2 (21:35):
Almost the same dogs are new.
Speaker 1 (21:37):
So when were the dogs introduced? More or less like twenty.
Speaker 2 (21:40):
Years and then they raise a new baby dogs and
then training him go for hunting.
Speaker 1 (21:46):
When was the Bousie tribe first contacted demi.
Speaker 2 (21:49):
Eighties to nineties? They contact with missionaries and.
Speaker 10 (21:53):
They introduced Christianity local people civilized first and then they
introduced about Christianity in a community and then civilize the
local people who are living in the rainforest.
Speaker 1 (22:03):
I see, And so in what ways were they civilized?
Speaker 2 (22:06):
Quote unquote The local government asked them from the forest
to come out to the river bank or open space
and then build them house and then ask them to
go live in a modern house. You cannot go other territory.
When when they go for a hunting, it's really illegal
because they can kill you anytimes. Maybe if we are
living in a long time ago, then they can eat
(22:26):
us anytime.
Speaker 1 (22:27):
Yeah, and we are cruising through some strong marsh right now,
inwards of macheting.
Speaker 10 (22:31):
When you needed right here this one.
Speaker 3 (22:32):
Oh, there's one of the diys. Let's say he got injured.
I think the dog got injured. He hurt himself. He's limping.
What happened to him?
Speaker 1 (22:40):
DEMI? How often do they he killed out here on
the high Yeah?
Speaker 2 (22:43):
Sometimes they beaten by the wild pigs. And then sometimes
one or two dice is beaten by them, beaten by crocodile.
Speaker 3 (22:50):
While wild pigs, these dogs live a tough life of
constant warfare. Oh hell no, okay, So he's clearing away
for us to walk across this fallen tree.
Speaker 1 (23:00):
Heard of us falling down?
Speaker 3 (23:01):
Good?
Speaker 1 (23:01):
The dogs can do it.
Speaker 5 (23:02):
I can do it.
Speaker 1 (23:02):
When you balance you look and how do you said?
Oh my god? Sideways? Yeah, your position must be like yep,
let's keep it, let's move. Okay, that's quite the balanced
test right now.
Speaker 3 (23:15):
We'll be fine. We'll be fine. Okay, this is less
bad than it. Then it looks don't notice it? His
constant wist, Thank you chief? What de mean, what did
the chief find?
Speaker 2 (23:27):
The dogs are found wild picks, and then they went
and went run that way.
Speaker 1 (23:31):
We're gonna see if we actually catch something where you
can do tonight. So dogs wounded, that's not good.
Speaker 2 (23:37):
Wild pigs was here, and then one of the dogs
will have gone to reach.
Speaker 1 (23:42):
So one of the dogs got attacked by boar. And then, oh,
can you ask another feeling?
Speaker 2 (23:55):
He said, he's a really good ambition that we will
get the wild picks.
Speaker 1 (23:58):
He just said that in one little other that's what
he said.
Speaker 2 (24:01):
Yeah, that's what he's saying.
Speaker 1 (24:03):
Oh, hell, we're screwed. We're about to get soaked. Do
we push through? I'm gonna run your shoes. Dan, I'm sorry.
Speaker 3 (24:11):
This jungle was thick, unforgiving, and I even found these
in the water.
Speaker 1 (24:15):
Come over here. That's a leech.
Speaker 3 (24:18):
Oh hell no, that's a real leash. He's looking to god, damn,
you're gonna eat by leech on your face.
Speaker 1 (24:25):
Well, well to check ourselves when we get back. This
is gonna be quite to night.
Speaker 3 (24:28):
Rich in biodiversity, this jungle was the original supermarket where
everything you needed to build a shelter, eat and drink
was right around the corner.
Speaker 1 (24:37):
What are these called? Can I eat them?
Speaker 3 (24:40):
No?
Speaker 2 (24:40):
Just push them?
Speaker 1 (24:41):
I will die.
Speaker 3 (24:42):
Yeah, And unlike the supermarket sometimes the harsh reality of
hunting out here is some days you catch nothing.
Speaker 1 (24:48):
We can't catch any bars or birds. But they caught
a fish. Look at this and a dead leech right
on its front too.
Speaker 3 (24:54):
We're gonna eat take a quick break, and we're gonna
here about some cannibal stories.
Speaker 1 (25:04):
Brain rot has gone international, folks. Is he alive? Where
did that come from? It's dead so you can pick
it up. Are we gonna eat this?
Speaker 5 (25:20):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (25:20):
This thing is pretty freaking big. Apparently we're gonna eat it.
Speaker 3 (25:23):
After eating some of this big lizard. I was dying
to ask the oldest members of the tribe this.
Speaker 1 (25:28):
Do you eat humans?
Speaker 2 (25:33):
Olympic?
Speaker 1 (25:43):
At?
Speaker 3 (25:43):
What age did you eat a human? What year did
your tribe stop eating human? Have you ever killed anyone?
How did they kill people? Was a tribal warfare? What
year do you remember seeing your first outsider?
Speaker 2 (26:04):
He already seen the outsiders from Asia, from China, from
Western from Spain who came here to look for treasures?
Speaker 1 (26:13):
Would you ever leave life here and go move to
the city? So does he have TikTok.
Speaker 3 (26:35):
Never what's the biggest change in and society he's noticed
in his lifetime and does he like that change or
is he opposed to the continued technological advancement?
Speaker 1 (26:56):
Yeah? At what age do boys become men? Twenty five?
Pretty old? Do you guys use contraception and condoms?
Speaker 6 (27:18):

know off the top of them is beautiful? He had
the count that went out. Do you guys have gay
people in PA? Are you allowed to be gay and
be a tribesman?
Speaker 2 (27:41):
Be honestly? I'm also from.
Speaker 3 (27:45):
In the United States. We have a thing called Gay
Pride Month where people celebrate being gay. What are your
thoughts on that?
Speaker 2 (27:58):
It's really super so weare this timedard is men and
women but like men and men, it's like they are
like crazy.
Speaker 1 (28:05):
What would you do if you had a gay son?
You kill him?
Speaker 3 (28:11):
He killed actually kill him so he will kill him
with his own hands. If you caught your son making
love with another man, what would happen next? Shame on
the whole family. And my last question is what are
your thoughts on white people? You would you let your
(28:37):
daughter marry into a white man's family. Be honest, be
honest with me.

Why have you ever killed anyone during those wars.
Speaker 3 (30:29):
Survival of the Fittest? How many people did you kill?
Are you still afraid of being killed many years later?
Speaker 1 (30:40):

year old? Is life hard in the jungle? In your opinion?
Do you have a job? He uses the garden to
(32:12):

Speaker 1 (32:20):
How do you make money? Gold? Money?
Speaker 3 (32:25):
After you work in the mine? How do you get
back to your tribe here? That's a three day long
commute from the mine where you don't get paid unless
you find anything back to the tribe. Is that a
long walk? How many wives do you have? Sud What
is your favorite type of woman?
Speaker 1 (32:45):
Black? White Asian Indians? All of them?
Speaker 3 (32:49):
If I brought you a flavor of each ice cream
if you will, would you give it a taste? Do
you have ambitions to get another wife in the future, Kennedy?
Why is it a sin for you but not for
everyone else who has multiple wives? Why are you laughing?
Speaker 2 (33:10):
It's funny?
Speaker 1 (33:11):
Why is it funny?
Speaker 2 (33:11):
Because Papua is a really big island. We need more
generation to raise the papuins people in island, so we
need more papu so we must met with more women
so then we can make more babies.
Speaker 1 (33:24):
Have you ever eaten a human before? What would you
do if you had a gay son or a thought daughter.
Speaker 3 (33:32):
After leaving the jungle, I had this allergic reaction to
my bug bites, and we don't know what will happen.
And special thanks to Dan for making this adventure possible.
Go hire him to make your wildest productions come to life.
Do you eat humans? I have tasted human playing How
did human taste?
Speaker 2 (00:04):
That's super super yummy.
Speaker 1 (00:06):
The meat is really soft, like snake or chicken meat.
Speaker 2 (00:08):
It is really soft meat.
Speaker 3 (00:09):
Deep in the remote jungle of West Papua and isolated
from the modern world. This is the Bowsy tribe, famous
for hunting crocodiles, snakes, and the heads of their enemies.
Speaker 2 (00:20):
When they missionally arrived, they saw wide and then they
want to taste. Maybe this taste is different. They kill
and then taste. This is not a joke.
Speaker 3 (00:28):
But do these people still eat humans? How is life
in the remote jungle far away from civilization and in
the year twenty twenty five, how much of their culture
has survived the world trying to civilize them. I began
my quest into the remote jungle of West Popua. I'm
an undisclosed beach rendezvousing with my survival guy Dan here
to help make sure I didn't end up getting eaten myself.
Speaker 4 (00:51):
Now what you see is a lot of these guys
that try to go and tell stories. They go to
basically the Disneyland version of Papua, where guys dress up
and do songs and dances and talk about cannibalism. We're
gonna out where it's the real, legitimate people just living
their lives, and we're gonna get real stories, and we're
gonna see where that goes. I can tell you this
is some of the most intense jungle I've ever been to.
Last time I got there, I just got bit the
f up, just swollen legs, crazy stuff. So we have
(01:13):
crocks in the water, snakes and all kinds of crazy
stuff in the jungle, because this is probably one of
the worst places in the world when you get deep
in the jungle for bugs. Been to a lot of
jungles and this one's rough.
Speaker 1 (01:22):
And who am I here with?
Speaker 2 (01:23):
Hello, I'm Dammy. I'm a trifixer for special interest clients
like you guys.
Speaker 3 (01:27):
My special interest is figuring out what's going on out
here in the jungle.
Speaker 1 (01:30):
And your father was a cannibal.
Speaker 2 (01:32):
Exactly, I'm the son of the cannibal. If I well
trained by my father, If no more met, then one
of you guys must be ten.
Speaker 1 (01:39):
And you're not joking.
Speaker 2 (01:40):
This is no joke.
Speaker 3 (01:41):
Okay, we're taking off. Do people actively get eaten by
crocs out here?
Speaker 1 (01:46):
Hey?
Speaker 5 (01:46):
Do?
Speaker 1 (01:46):
Still?
Speaker 3 (01:47):
Yeah, we're headed to the jungle right now. Two hour
boat ride. This thing's gonna get quick. Hopefully we don't
flip over and fly into crocodile infested waters.
Speaker 1 (01:57):
There are over I.
Speaker 4 (01:58):
Think two hundred and seventy six language which is just
in this part of Papua. On the other side of
Papua New Guinea, there's something close to eight hundred. You're
talking close to eleven hundred languages on one island. That
might mean that thirty percent of all spoken languages on
Earth are here on this one island.
Speaker 1 (02:13):
I see people over there. I see it, dude, Dan.
I don't know how primitive or modernized these people are anymore.
And I gotta be honest, I'm a little bit spooked.
Speaker 3 (02:21):
If we were to come here uninvited, would we be
met with some violence are told to leave.
Speaker 4 (02:25):
This is kind of a wild West, I think in general,
like most pleasure in the world, most people are.
Speaker 1 (02:29):
Kind of nice.
Speaker 4 (02:30):
But if you step wrong, because this is a wild West,
these could go so.
Speaker 1 (02:34):
Probably gonna see guys honey with spear styles. They are
thousands of.
Speaker 4 (02:37):
Years old, and they they still have cell photes.
Speaker 3 (02:39):
We are an inflection point in history where a lot
of us may be lost thousands of.
Speaker 4 (02:43):
Time to get it and documented, and.
Speaker 1 (02:44):
It looks like this is our parking spot.
Speaker 3 (02:46):
So we made it to our first pit stop on
the outskirts of the jungle to pick up some local tribesmen.
You'll notice his clothing is about as modern as it gets,
if the weapons he's bringing with him are about as
traditional as they come, with the exception of the metal
tips on the beers. Throughout this video, you should keep
an eye out for some of the modern technology that
this tribe incorporates into their age old traditions. As the
(03:08):
short form video content scrolls, you are witnessing the effects
of globalization at a scale never before seen. Instagram reels
have penetrated even the darkest, deepest of jungles. We then
headed further along the river to pick up a local
(03:29):
chief chilling with his family while recovering from a long
night of drinking. We were drunking too.
Speaker 1 (03:38):
Good to me too Tonight we'll be for crocodile hunting,
for hunting crocodiles.
Speaker 2 (03:42):
We go for hunting crocodile for our me tonight or
maybe tomorrow.
Speaker 1 (03:46):
Crocodiles. Can I help you kill a crocodile?
Speaker 2 (03:49):
You'll help him because I'm also scared, really, but he's not.
Speaker 1 (03:53):
Okay, we've recruited a full party. I believe my god.
Speaker 3 (03:59):
It's walking from It's like a tightrope. All right, we're
hopping out. This is no joke here.
Speaker 1 (04:05):
We got some big ants in front of me as well.
Speaker 3 (04:08):
But before we chat about cannibalism, hunting humans in tribal wars,
and how modern technology is changing their way of life,
we first had to make shelter before the sun went
down and the countless bugs that live here began their
feast on our flesh. We got the machetes out here
that he's just terriforming cutting the lawn here. If you will,
you're gonna chop down that tree.
Speaker 1 (04:28):
Work.
Speaker 3 (04:31):
As we set up camp a few feet off the
shore of crocodile infested waters, with mosquitoes already beginning to
eat us alive, you might be wondering what else in
this jungle is able to kill you.
Speaker 1 (04:40):
On the unique list.
Speaker 4 (04:42):
We have snakes, we have crocodiles, scorpions, we have centipedes,
we have spiders. We have all kinds of stuff out
here that can bite, sting you, and do all kinds
of other fun things.
Speaker 1 (04:52):
We're gonna go out and hunt. We can get some
food tonight.
Speaker 3 (04:54):
And before we explore the Papuan rainforest, home to some
of the richest biodiversity on Earth. Twenty of things that
can kill you live. I wanted to learn a bit
more about the Bowsy tribe and the history of cannibalism
in Papua. Tell me about the history of cannibalism and
your father's relationship with cannibalism.
Speaker 2 (05:10):
My father life is really super cruel and then he
see other people or other tribes as a something to
be hand, as a myath, fresh mat to be killed,
the way to feed in the family, he must fight
and then not only him, but with his friends go
fight another clans and then they eat them. My father
(05:31):
is super super Cannibal's eat humans as a myath.
Speaker 1 (05:35):
Where are you from.
Speaker 2 (05:36):
I'm from mahagland of Papua. We call it Yadi tribes.
That is the most of the Balian Valley. Yadi tribe
is they call the last cannibal tribes in Papua. Cannibalism
stop almost nineteen eighties.
Speaker 1 (05:49):
Why did they eat humans?
Speaker 2 (05:50):
They see human as something to be hanged, something to
become as a part of the meat.
Speaker 1 (05:56):
Why did the tribes hate each other? Why are they fighting?
Speaker 2 (05:59):
It's a long long fightings amongst the ancestors. So they
have become enemy and so the generation must be a
fight with them. If not, then they will to become
a loser, and then they can come and attack the
feelers anytime. That's why they have to fight back, not
only killing, but they have to cook the body. Maybe
if you be training me and then maybe if I
(06:20):
tried them, I don't know.
Speaker 1 (06:21):
What happened, maybe you'd be capable too.
Speaker 2 (06:24):
Oh yeah, I see human something to be eaten. So
I can kill anybody and then I cook eat.
Speaker 1 (06:33):
How did human taste? According to your father?
Speaker 2 (06:36):
It tastes like crocodiles, like cashwar. My father cast war,
I already eaten and then also crocodile, and I can
feel it. I can feel the human plus taste. I
want to explain it. I heard him in Africa or
I don't know. That boat is one thousand dollars for ahead.
I want to taste. I want to go to Africa
just to compare my father feelings and then me want
(06:59):
to saying, want to see how it tasted the way
my father used to it a little bit morbid. This
is not my big dream, but I hope one day
I go there and an experience what I had. The
DNA of mine is well connected, not emotionally but blood lines.
That's why I want to just experience in Africa. I
(07:19):
want to go to Africa because Papua is no more
honey balist than Yali is the last and I want
to go one day.
Speaker 1 (07:25):
Your dream is to go to Africa and eat human meat.
Speaker 2 (07:28):
Human meat, whatever the cat or boats or whatever bat
of the body. Because my friends told me that they're
sailing there. I'm with my father well connected. Oh this
is the taste, that's it.
Speaker 1 (07:37):
Just that's crazy, that's so crazy, that's that's.
Speaker 2 (07:41):
Super super yummy. My father said we must try. We
must go to Africa.
Speaker 1 (07:48):
Are any tribes eating humans in Papua Now?
Speaker 2 (07:51):
No more eating human people are civilized.
Speaker 1 (07:53):
So we came here.
Speaker 3 (07:54):
I was surprised to see a speedboat that we took
to get in here. Not everyone's not wearing leaves. We
have some modern clothing. Tell me about how Papua has
evolved and where you expected to go in the future.
Speaker 2 (08:06):
Every generation is different perspective. People are need to be
changed from the stone ages life nineteenth century. Now it's
twenty twenty five. So people are especially for young young generation.
They want to go to university, they want to be doctor,
they want to be a pilot, they want to live
in a better life.
Speaker 1 (08:25):
How did you get out of the Highlands.
Speaker 2 (08:26):
When like five years seven years old? I knew that
there is no other people out there, only as because
my village is only mountain wall and I knew that
there is no more others. But when I surprised when
the missionary airplane come and then landing in the one
villages and then what what is this? And who is
what is his name? That's a plane? Who took this plane?
(08:47):
How there's a missionaries? What is missionaries? But from the German?
Where is German? So white people from far away? Ah?
So then I realized that there is other people outside
from my village.
Speaker 1 (08:57):
How did your village react to the white people that came.
Speaker 2 (09:00):
And cook and then eat the missionary?
Speaker 1 (09:01):
What Jesus you try to eat them?
Speaker 2 (09:03):
My father friends kill the missionary. And then when the
missionary arrived, they so wide and then they want to
taste Maybe these taste is different. They kill and then taste.
This is not a joke.
Speaker 3 (09:14):
So was it known in your village that if white
people come they will get eaten.
Speaker 2 (09:18):
Now they say sorry for what happened. Sorry we kill you,
we ate you because we want to taste different or
maybe different tastes, and then they say sorry to the
missionary is family and they make any incision.
Speaker 3 (09:29):
So let's say one of the try members got a
disease or sickness, would they go to the hospital in
the city or they sort of just die here.
Speaker 2 (09:37):
In the jungle. Mostly they die because of malaria because
of the snake bites, also sometimes calling trees, and also
when they go hunting, pigs bite bit them and then
poisoning their wounds pick up bigger and then more more
die in the forest that get cured by modern doctor
because it's also need money and then access to go
(09:59):
there to walk. It's also really difficult, so better they
try with traditional medicine like from the vines, but sometimes
they get.
Speaker 3 (10:07):
Well, what do you think the leading cause of death
for the paps is here in the jungle.
Speaker 2 (10:11):
Before it's killing each other, tribal war, but now mostly
because of the if they go hunting that can be
bitten written by the wildlife or can be snake bites
mostly or malaria, mostly malaria. But if you want to
see the way they go for hunting, staying in the
camp in the forest, and then we do join with
the local people go for hunting. That's the real things
(10:33):
that we are going to do. It's not made for tourists.
That's the way the can you just people survive in
the forest. But it's it's not fake.
Speaker 3 (10:41):
Before we learn how human meat tastes from a cannibal. Firsthand,
our shelter looks like it's finished. Now that we have
the rainproof shelter, we need a hammock to lay our bodies.
That's top in the sky.
Speaker 1 (10:55):
Oh, hold on, there you are. How are you doing? Yes?
What's your name? You're very strong?
Speaker 2 (11:07):
Vido?
Speaker 1 (11:08):
How is this process right now? Are you enjoying? This?
Is this tiring? Let's come a little closer. How are
you feeling right now? Good?
Speaker 3 (11:21):
Good morning?
Speaker 1 (11:23):
Do you get bit by the mosquitoes?
Speaker 4 (11:25):
No?
Speaker 3 (11:26):
No, okay, okay. This bump three two one reveal Hey,
we have massive brain clouds about to brain hell fire
upon us with a storm on the way. What good
(11:48):
is a shelter without some dinner? Hunted using the Bowsie
tribes traditional methods.
Speaker 1 (11:53):
Where are we going?
Speaker 2 (11:53):
Okay, we are going now hunting with the local people,
going hunting cuscus uh, wallabi and then kangaroo.
Speaker 1 (12:04):
How do we intend on catching a wallaby or a kangaroo?
Those guys are quick.
Speaker 2 (12:07):
If we admit, then we go with the hunting dogs.
It's exactly we can't get it. It's like it's possible.
Speaker 1 (12:12):
Do I need to be ready to sprint?
Speaker 6 (12:14):
We're not gonna hunt any other humans, so.
Speaker 2 (12:17):
This is not hunting human. This is like one Las
five here for our meat for tomorrow.
Speaker 3 (12:23):
The way ahead of us right now with multiple spheres.
We have dogs, we have beneath us thick jungle.
Speaker 6 (12:29):
Not sure what I'm not sure what science specifically he's
looking for, but it seems like he's led by a
million years of human history.
Speaker 3 (12:40):
Laid in hand. He trots forth. We haven't seen a
single other organism out here. All I hear though, is
the methodic cut of branch by branch. Well, we weren't
having much luck hunting in the jungle. What if we
hunt it in the water?
Speaker 1 (12:55):
I mean, what are you thinking? We feel safe getting
the boone going crock hunting.
Speaker 2 (12:58):
The heavy rain will come and superb.
Speaker 1 (13:02):
Life short right, it's yea, all right.
Speaker 7 (13:08):
We're looking for bright eyes in the water right now,
that'll mean we've found the crock. We're gonna turned the
flash off. He killed that shop we found look at where? Okay,
we have found the crocodile. They're trying to identify the eyes,
not trying to blind the croc. And he has found
the croc. Let's see if we can see it.
Speaker 3 (13:25):
I see it.
Speaker 1 (13:28):
I see him.
Speaker 8 (13:29):
I see him. I spotted him. Let's kill him. He
needs to die. I see him. Wow, that is spooky
right there, I see him, I see him.
Speaker 1 (13:41):
I see him. Give the new light's left left, left,
right there, right there? All right, we've seen three crocks.
That one just went underwater again. I saw its beady eyes.
Speaker 3 (13:52):
It's a little bit creepy knowing there are that many
crocodiles out here.
Speaker 1 (13:55):
Right now, how do we go for the kill shot? Where? Oh? Okay,
he's gonna try to kill the crock.
Speaker 3 (14:07):
That's a crock killing spear right there, plus five daysterity
plus four strength. It's starting to rain heavily. Now we
might want to reconsider how long we want to be
out here. Another one right there, rock yep I see
him point it there, he is there, he is see
him clear as day.
Speaker 1 (14:20):
That's a full long crock. I think he's gonna go
for the kill. Shot. Are we gonna try to kill him?
That's perfect for a kill, he said, He.
Speaker 5 (14:27):
Goes does guys, don't heavy rains come? We go back
to the meskeft Okay, we're boarding. We saw the crocodiles.
We know they're out here, but it's raining too heavily.
We had to go to sleep, stay dry ish even
though we're already wet.
Speaker 6 (14:37):
All right, we made it who back in camp empty
handed and with one less of our brothers.
Speaker 3 (14:44):
All right, right now, I basically had to make the
choice between wanting to have heat stroke or getting bitten.
So I chosen to keep one layer of the shirt
on and taking the bite straight in the end. Now,
I'm not gonna put a second shirt on and we're
I'll pass out. Do they heat stroke? It is that
high and these guys are raw dogging.
Speaker 1 (14:59):
This shirtless right now is taking the bites like champs.
Speaker 3 (15:02):
Tomorrow, we're about to hear a story from an ex cannibal,
a man who practiced cannibalism and has two witnesses here
some pretty dark stuff.
Speaker 1 (15:09):
I suppose he's watching girls shake through.
Speaker 2 (15:13):
Sticking.
Speaker 1 (15:16):
Hell yeah, I think he's just watching it on loop.
He's watching them dance on loop.
Speaker 2 (15:36):
There and then.
Speaker 1 (15:42):
He's stuck in the loop.
Speaker 3 (15:43):
Right now, after we ate some dinner that we brought
with us in case of a failed hunt, it was
time to sleep and this mosquito infested hell the camera
does not realistically capture how many bugs were out here.
Speaker 1 (16:00):
All right, right now, I'm going to sleep.
Speaker 2 (16:02):
Tomorrow we wake up, we go out of it again.
Speaker 1 (16:09):
I'm praying this cat holes around screwed.
Speaker 9 (16:13):
I am somewhat because that's my only pair of shoes.
I had to hop out of the tent take a leak.
I found that my boots are completely soaked, which is
bad because that's my only pair of shoes. Writing NonStop
all night rookie mistake, and that might actually fill me over.
Speaker 3 (16:32):
What's a little foggy and ominous, misty foggy day. The
dogs didn't get much sleep either, neither did we. Dan
just said, how messed up is my back? You got
absolutely demolished.
Speaker 4 (16:42):
To have the kissing bugs have these little playing microscopic
bugs out here.
Speaker 1 (16:46):
They just wreck then tore up too, man b Yeah,
you tore up a bit in the middle.
Speaker 3 (16:53):
Before we go hunting again for some pig in the jungle,
I want to introduce you to the chief whose family
has had a unique relation ship with cannibals.
Speaker 1 (17:01):
Real quick, I'd be like going down the road. You fucked.

Speaker 1 (17:24):
I'm here with one of the chiefs. What is your name,
sir ho? Have you ever eaten a human before?
Speaker 2 (17:37):
Only highland people of the Bouzi they eat.
Speaker 3 (17:40):
The Boozi tribe only helped kill and then they would
give them to the highland tribes to eat. His tribe
was your parents generation cannibals? Did your parents grow up
fighting in tribal wars and killing each other? At what
point did you know the tribe stopped fighting and killing
(18:01):
each other?
Speaker 1 (18:22):
I four an I If you kill my friend, I
kill your friend. If you kill my mom, I kill
your mom.
Speaker 3 (18:27):
Have you ever been to a supermarket before where they
have all the food displayed in front of you and
you can pick whatever you want. How did the Boozi
tribe gain its reputation as headhunters? How do you guys
(18:54):
implement a law and order in a pu in society?
Do you guys have a policing system where if someone
does something bad they get attacked by the other tribe
members too much?
Speaker 1 (19:16):
Wow?
Speaker 3 (19:17):
So if someone were to get raped in the village,
how would that be handled? Is there some sort of
punishment system? Do you ever watch girls shake their ass
on TikTok?
Speaker 1 (19:31):
Yeah? What is your favorite type of woman? Black Asian?
White Indian?
Speaker 3 (19:37):
And if we came back one day and brought a
beautiful white woman who wanted to marry you, would you
take on a second wife because that means you'd be
interested in Now, okay, what's what's the biggest change you've
seen in the tribe since you were alive? A Have
(20:01):
you ever tried McDonald's. Are you happy with the changes
of new technology that's come in?
Speaker 1 (20:10):
It seemed like.
Speaker 3 (20:11):
Cannibalism was the ultimate form of asserting dominance and instilling
fear within your enemies. This type of cannibalism is called
exo cannibalism, when you eat people outside of your social group,
like an enemy tribe, versus endo cannibalism, like some Highlanders practice,
where you might eat let's say, your dead mother out
of love and respect to make sure her soul makes
(20:31):
it to the afterlife. Will neither type seem to be
actively practiced today. That doesn't mean there aren't some old
timers out here who remember the taste of human flesh.
But before we talked about killing and eating people, let's
go back in the jungle and try to kill some
pigs for lunch.
Speaker 1 (20:46):
All right, we're about to go hunting right now. What
are we hunting for? Demi?
Speaker 6 (20:49):
Uh?
Speaker 2 (20:50):
We go hunting a wild pigs? Now, wild pigs expected
to also hand.
Speaker 1 (20:57):
And he's gonna do the hunting.
Speaker 3 (20:58):
He's a hunting daytime this time around, so right now
because they are looking for bird.
Speaker 4 (21:04):
So the way this works, the honey dogs are out
and they'll you only hear when they start chasing stuff,
and you'll hear them switch whistles when they have something,
and the dogs will drive the game back towards the hunters.
So they can shoot it pretty straightforward, pretty straightforward. If
you're listening to those whistles, that's basically echo location for
the dogs.
Speaker 1 (21:21):
They got something, Oh that was a bird. I mean,
how long have they been doing this?
Speaker 2 (21:25):
Almost millions of years, especially from their ancestors, and then
they're still doing it generation to the generations.
Speaker 1 (21:32):
How different is this hunting than how they did it
millions of years ago?
Speaker 2 (21:35):
Almost the same dogs are new.
Speaker 1 (21:37):
So when were the dogs introduced? More or less like twenty.
Speaker 2 (21:40):
Years and then they raise a new baby dogs and
then training him go for hunting.
Speaker 1 (21:46):
When was the Bousie tribe first contacted demi.
Speaker 2 (21:49):
Eighties to nineties? They contact with missionaries and.
Speaker 10 (21:53):
They introduced Christianity local people civilized first and then they
introduced about Christianity in a community and then civilize the
local people who are living in the rainforest.
Speaker 1 (22:03):
I see, And so in what ways were they civilized?
Speaker 2 (22:06):
Quote unquote The local government asked them from the forest
to come out to the river bank or open space
and then build them house and then ask them to
go live in a modern house. You cannot go other territory.
When when they go for a hunting, it's really illegal
because they can kill you anytimes. Maybe if we are
living in a long time ago, then they can eat
(22:26):
us anytime.
Speaker 1 (22:27):
Yeah, and we are cruising through some strong marsh right now,
inwards of macheting.
Speaker 10 (22:31):
When you needed right here this one.
Speaker 3 (22:32):
Oh, there's one of the diys. Let's say he got injured.
I think the dog got injured. He hurt himself. He's limping.
What happened to him?
Speaker 1 (22:40):
DEMI? How often do they he killed out here on
the high Yeah?
Speaker 2 (22:43):
Sometimes they beaten by the wild pigs. And then sometimes
one or two dice is beaten by them, beaten by crocodile.
Speaker 3 (22:50):
While wild pigs, these dogs live a tough life of
constant warfare. Oh hell no, okay, So he's clearing away
for us to walk across this fallen tree.
Speaker 1 (23:00):
Heard of us falling down?
Speaker 3 (23:01):
Good?
Speaker 1 (23:01):
The dogs can do it.
Speaker 5 (23:02):
I can do it.
Speaker 1 (23:02):
When you balance you look and how do you said?
Oh my god? Sideways? Yeah, your position must be like yep,
let's keep it, let's move. Okay, that's quite the balanced
test right now.
Speaker 3 (23:15):
We'll be fine. We'll be fine. Okay, this is less
bad than it. Then it looks don't notice it? His
constant wist, Thank you chief? What de mean, what did
the chief find?
Speaker 2 (23:27):
The dogs are found wild picks, and then they went
and went run that way.
Speaker 1 (23:31):
We're gonna see if we actually catch something where you
can do tonight. So dogs wounded, that's not good.
Speaker 2 (23:37):
Wild pigs was here, and then one of the dogs
will have gone to reach.
Speaker 1 (23:42):
So one of the dogs got attacked by boar. And then, oh,
can you ask another feeling?
Speaker 2 (23:55):
He said, he's a really good ambition that we will
get the wild picks.
Speaker 1 (23:58):
He just said that in one little other that's what
he said.
Speaker 2 (24:01):
Yeah, that's what he's saying.
Speaker 1 (24:03):
Oh, hell, we're screwed. We're about to get soaked. Do
we push through? I'm gonna run your shoes. Dan, I'm sorry.
Speaker 3 (24:11):
This jungle was thick, unforgiving, and I even found these
in the water.
Speaker 1 (24:15):
Come over here. That's a leech.
Speaker 3 (24:18):
Oh hell no, that's a real leash. He's looking to god, damn,
you're gonna eat by leech on your face.
Speaker 1 (24:25):
Well, well to check ourselves when we get back. This
is gonna be quite to night.
Speaker 3 (24:28):
Rich in biodiversity, this jungle was the original supermarket where
everything you needed to build a shelter, eat and drink
was right around the corner.
Speaker 1 (24:37):
What are these called? Can I eat them?
Speaker 3 (24:40):
No?
Speaker 2 (24:40):
Just push them?
Speaker 1 (24:41):
I will die.
Speaker 3 (24:42):
Yeah, And unlike the supermarket sometimes the harsh reality of
hunting out here is some days you catch nothing.
Speaker 1 (24:48):
We can't catch any bars or birds. But they caught
a fish. Look at this and a dead leech right
on its front too.
Speaker 3 (24:54):
We're gonna eat take a quick break, and we're gonna
here about some cannibal stories.
Speaker 1 (25:04):
Brain rot has gone international, folks. Is he alive? Where
did that come from? It's dead so you can pick
it up. Are we gonna eat this?
Speaker 5 (25:20):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (25:20):
This thing is pretty freaking big. Apparently we're gonna eat it.
Speaker 3 (25:23):
After eating some of this big lizard. I was dying
to ask the oldest members of the tribe this.
Speaker 1 (25:28):

Speaker 2 (25:33):

year do you remember seeing your first outsider?
Speaker 2 (26:04):

Western from Spain who came here to look for treasures?
Speaker 1 (26:13):
Would you ever leave life here and go move to
the city? So does he have TikTok.
Speaker 3 (26:35):

in his lifetime and does he like that change or
