Well....that's disappointing.

From what I saw, there had been 5/6 parties through the area from 1920-70s. Still a very good chance this was the first interaction with the outside world for these people. Fascinating IMO

Cliff's:
-Video filmed in 1993 not 1976 as was claimed
-The white man you see in the video is a Belgian moviemaker, Jean-Pierre Dutilleux. Not a real anthropologist.
-The tribe was supplied with certain pharmaceutical products in payment for their acting.
-Pierre Lemonnier, an expert in the PNG region, actually recognized the area where the filming took place, commenting,
"At that spot, they were about a four-day walk from an administrative center with a school teacher, an airstrip, radio, nurse and Seventh-Day Adventist preachers.
Nearby, the navigable river Vailala enables the Papuans to reach the coast, where they exchange bark capes for tools."
