A Blogger Tried to Establish Contact with an Isolated Tribe in Papua Using Salt
An Irish blogger visited an isolated tribe in Papua, the Indonesian part of New Guinea, as part of a group with a guide. He swam up to the locals with the intention of presenting a bag of salt as a symbol of friendship.
The blogger tried to approach an isolated tribe in Papua by boat. The locals greeted him with drawn bows, and he handed them salt and called them "cannibals." The tribe rejected the gift, the situation heated up, but Tah took it as part of the content.
After publishing the video, the blogger was criticized: he was accused of provocation, disrespect and the risk of infecting the tribe with external diseases.
Some netizens were unhappy with the fact that the natives were presented as cannibals, emphasizing that they live a peaceful life.
