today's video we'll be reacting to rare tribal food of west papua this video was suggested
by King Ghibah thank you very much for taking the time to send me
your recommendation and suggestions stay tuned guys we'll be right back
welcome back guys we're gonna get started with the video momentarily and at the end
of the video i'll be sharing with you my observation reaction so please make sure
you stay until the end with that said we're going to get started with our video we've got the piggy
right here we're going to go meet the chief do you think the chief is going to like it
this is the tribal people of west papua
looks like hot rocks they're using
west papua is home to over 300 different tribes including some still uncontacted people come to
pick us up what do i do do i shake his hand in papua central highlands one tribe still
lives today as they did hundreds of years ago and they're known as the dani people
today i'm on a mission to learn more about one of the most unique cultures on earth all right we're
still working it out i'll see how they live how many lives do you have and i'll experience how
they eat sunny people always kill it by errand bow taking on everything from uncanny local
fruit you're showing me all this it's a unique fruits looks like a big carrot few outsiders have
witnessed before putting on some burns between the rocks it's gonna kind of cook like an oven
let's get started today we have traveled from jaipur here to wamena we're about to meet the
dani trib but first we have to pick up a gift it's important if you ever go to a dinner party
you bring a snack a glass of wine or like today a live pig so the pigs is really really valuable
it's the wealth of the dani tribes when you have a pigs you can owning the land
you can marry more women so if i'm part of the dani culture i want to marry a woman i need to
kind of give a dowry of pigs right you must give more or less like 10 to 20 pigs for one woman
what do you think that would be in usd you can imagine one pig almost to a 250 us dollar
five thousand dollars all around this market they've got pigs everywhere and
everybody's trying to sell their pig and we're looking for the right one
this is like a food source right some places they would give out a cow
looks like this is the best price we're gonna
get time to wrap piggy up and deliver him as a gift to the dani tribe chief
this beautiful area though lots of greenery lush
we have just arrived here at the village we've got the piggy right here before we meet the chief
is there anything i should know about the people here the dani people are wearing the penis gourd
the dani people wear very little covering for men
it's simply a gourd snuggly lodging their nether regions it's a traditional
clothes for the dani people we call koteca just wearing the penis gourd so they don't need laundry
that's nice all right well let's go meet him the chief and his closest counsel come
to the edge of the village to meet us whether we'll actually be welcomed remains to be seen
wow
they always say wahwah hi nice to meet you welcome to my village my
my country and everything so it means culturally they accept you i feel very welcome thank you
so much for having us here it's a huge honor for me his rings are so unique
he's the chief of this dani tribe leading a village of 170 people how many
wives do you have guys
i have five five yeah it's pretty good
do you feel bad ever like four people maybe don't have a wife because you got all the wives
no problem yeah not for you yeah how does a penis gourd work do you have to make your own
penis gourd can you buy it nearby the penis gourd is they planted it's just a fruit they
can make it dry and then they wear it i want a penis gourd that's kind of what i'm getting around to
am i the first person to ask about that yes yes yeah but is it used i don't want to use it
i need a new one
what's happening guys
so right now we've got some gifts that looks like a big carrot what is that reading let's find out
what does that taste like do you guys know would love to find
put in comment section that's the only bad part
okay what's happening did you see that why do you
food
okay he's pretending to kill me
are we
i'll come too
this is the dani welcoming ceremony deep in the highlands of west papua lives one
of the world's most isolated tribes one can't help but to think that this is how people may
have lived centuries ago no plastic no steel ingenious tools engineering and techniques
that utilize only what can be found in nearby jungles and the only required piece of clothing
is made from a gourd chief is preparing a penis gourd based on your size huh i don't
let's take a look let's take a look is this supposed to be a super loose fit
this is normal size okay so it's not supposed to be tight if i'm cool then i think this will
work for me today i'll witness a rare village feast hot belly pig sweet potatoes and papua's
alien looking red fruit what's most remarkable is the way they cook their food cleverly combining
natural elements to create an earth oven fire is ready rocks are heating up time to cook
around here pigs are currency and pigs are status
sacrificing a pig for a meal is only reserved for important social locations and rituals
the slaughtering of the animal is still done today as it's been done for generations
but do you know why they don't just cut the neck many people always kill it by error and bow
one exactly to the heart is that more respectful yes the chief removes and saves the ears and
tail as a token and reminder kept in the village home that only the highest ranking men may enter
yes yes that's the secrets of keeping this and women
never entering the manhattan how many do you have
it's like
the women start building the earth oven by layering straw and leaves in the shallow eyes
from the bamboo the men use bamboo knife to clean and the red fruit guy prepares the red
fruit here we have that insane red fruit that we bought yesterday oh where do you even get this
it looks like a fruit from avatar the first step is to split it open super coarse tough
skin that he's got to use this like thick steel blade to get through crack it open
wow i'll get a little slab pop guys check this out this guy's got a joint some kind of tobacco rolled
with a leaf okay oh i got a little tobacco buzz i'm not really a smoker okay here you go it's kind
of mild so now we're taking out the centerpiece do you eat this eat no this okay my sign language
tells me he doesn't eat it but um what do i know maybe they do they don't they want to eat tobacco
right now we're about to put the pig in an earth oven right here they've heated up all these rocks
they're blazing hot they've absorbed all the heat from the fire and they're using these
giant like wooden tweezers to move the rocks to this earth oven over here and then throw
the pig and everything else inside oh is it not easy as it looks oh actually it's not that hard
but i got a tiny ass rock interesting you can see there's a pit already forming with all these rocks
so now they're putting on some ferns even more foliage between the rocks i think so there's not
such direct heat so nick are putting in some potato these are sweet potatoes oh there's a
little bit of everything what and then they put even more leaves on top of all these
sweet potatoes wow and more rocks i guess you probably get like a taste from those leaves too
the whole layered oven starts with foliage rocks sweet potatoes foliage rocks and then
the pig on top this is our final product right here the earth oven it looks amazing it looks
beautiful i've never seen anything like this i'm told we just need two hours for it to cook
in here hopefully everything inside is cooked but i'm pretty sure they know what they're doing
year by year the modern world creeps closer to the once uncontacted dani people but evidence of
their early culture can still be seen everywhere in the tribe who used to remove sections of their
fingers each time a loved one died a village elder using fresh pig intestine to cushion his nose bone
and of course the practice of using all-natural tools to cook up a feast for an entire village
right now they're taking all the stones off apparently this is the job of the women and
they're just using a stick to kind of pull out all the foliage or grabbing the rocks throwing
them to the side and the pig is right here it looks like it's probably cooked
it was a piggy oh look at this this is the whole pig right here
now in this next layer is the red fruit wow that is beautiful okay i'm gonna do it
sunhan'Allah they're used to it they can just pick it
what are you eating they're eating the veggies what is this
this really so they're eating this these are they look like birds it took too much
i see them showing the fern but it tastes almost inedible it is so hard still the women continue
unpacking the oven retrieving steaming hot sweet potatoes while the men section the pig the big
pieces of meat are divided up by the chief you just chop this whole pig in half with a bamboo
knife wow don't do that you guys eat everybody eat everybody yes baby and boy and everybody everybody
and me yes oh thank you though jobs are divided everyone eats kids are the first to get a taste
a few elders disperse sections of the pig ensuring everyone gets their fill
you can see it like this right here oh thank you wow from the hind leg huge piece of pork
some fat oh it's really good hot hot hot pot very hot
oh wow this looks so good oh thank you wow these guys are so kind
whoa i want to share with some other people too
here there's a huge piece of skin thick fat it's like rubbery
it looked like a wild boar this pig do you eat this eat this the skin let's try it
that's actually pretty good thick skin all that fat inside it just bubbles and juices up
i'm telling you man pig is the one animal you can get away with like no salt no seasoning
just roast it up and it's still going to be good it's like a natural cooking vessel
so this is the sweet potato wow look how soft it got oh my gosh
it's been cooking up steaming underground super hot still
that is really good is that an airplane we're so far out how could there be airplanes out here
as with many of life's best dining experiences the cooking is intense and laborious but the
eating is over within a matter of minutes this is going to be our dessert for today although i don't
know how desserty it actually tastes they've stripped these kind of red kernels away from
the core of the vegetable and then they've added water and now she's going to kind of
massage and press it can i ask where do you get like a purple tupperware container around here
you guys have a walmart so this is what we want right here this kind of red oil they call it look
at this it's become like a red sauce or paste and the smell it's kind of earthy and chalky
oh you have to try not to drop the seeds in though oh that's harder than it looks what chief
whoa that is out of this world it is not sweet at all very unique flavor
a little bitter a little tart it's like a wood varnish or something it's furnished oh
thank you so this is essentially like a very intensive dip that they make and this is the
purpose right here it becomes a sauce a gravy an oil whatever you want to call it that they're
going to put on the sweet potato and then you just eat it like this no no you i have something
is one of the most fascinating and memorable people i've met in my travels
he is the bridge between traditional dani culture and a culture that's moving quickly
into the future increasingly interacting with and becoming dependent on the outside world
i'm more than honored to have had the privilege of interrupting his life for an afternoon
and i can't wait to try on my new outfit do i put this here like this is this the right way help me
okay is this right or higher yeah we did
that was interesting guys so that was the tribe dani tribe in papua indonesia they haven't
been contacted i guess they have because people go there tourists but they're still living that
basically the way that they used to live in the past and their method of cooking
is exactly the same too for me for example not to be rude it didn't look appetizing and
that's because for example for muslims for us we don't eat pork like the prophet peace be upon him
had gone somewhere for dinner and they had basically brought him a rabbit but he didn't
eat it and he just stepped back or sat back and the companions asked him is this like for example
haram that we should not eat it too he said no for me it's not you know for example the region of
the world that i live in if we don't eat it like it's not common to for for rabbits to be there
so i've never tried it for example like maybe he didn't like it but he didn't want to be rude and
he set that back so similarly you know just the reason for me doesn't look appetizing is because
we don't eat pork i've never had it alhumdolilah so for that reason but you know their way of cooking
is pretty interesting they're using rocks and then they had that big fruit or vegetable that looked
like a big carrot sweet potatoes and yeah so it looked pretty cool and just the only thing is that
you know they're basically using other ways of preparing their food interesting i hope you
