Hello and welcome back to the Most Amazing Top 10 Channel on the Internet!
I am your host Rebecca Felgate and today we are talking about the Top 10 Scariest Tribes
you DON’T want to me!
Now I want to be clear – a lot of the tribes on this list have rich histories and I think
they have the right to defend their land…the don’t want to meet part basically comes
from if you or I happened to wander into the midst of
the tribe and what would happen to us as outsiders.
10 - Chimbu Skeleton Tribe One look at this tribe sends shivers down
my spine and if I saw them in the flesh I would very much want to run away.
It seems though that the Chimbu tribe dress this way for a special festival – the Mount
Hagen Festival – and the paint originally was designed to psychologically intimidate
enemies and also to present themselves as super human.
The tribe live in a remote mountainous region of Papua New Guinea and first made contact
with the connected world in 1934 although the remind illusive and to be honest, painted
like that…
I wouldn’t want to mess with them!
9 - Asaro Tribe Have a look at the Asaro Tribe.
Usually I wouldn’t say you should ever judge people by the way they look but when it comes
to tribes I would say… if they look threatening that is because they want to scare you off.
What happens if you don’t heed that warning?
Do you really want to find out.
The Asaro Tribe, also known as the Asaro Mud men because of their masks – made from mud.
The story behind the mud is that one time they approached an enemy after hiding out
in a muddy bank.
The enemy thought they were spirits and fled.
Would you like to see them in action.
* editors clip* The Asaro are actually pretty harmless, but their masks do worry me!
8 - Chukchi People (chuck-chee) The reason this tribe are on this list are
because they are the only tribe in Russian that were never conquered by the Russian people…which…
must mean they are pretty terrifying.
Historically, Russia has waged war with the Chukchi people on many occasions over hundreds
of years and while some were killed, they never ever managed to defeat them.
These days they live reasonably undisturbed in the Chuckchi Peninsula – which is the
very North of Russia, parallel to Alaska.
It is COLD up there…people that an survive 24/7 in those climates are not to be crossed!
7 - The Night Marchers Often also called The Night Marchers, the
Huaka’ipo are ancient Hawaiian warriors that are now jobbed with escorting newly dead
spirits to the afterlife – a bit like a more musical band of grim reapers.
The Torch Bearers walk the land carrying – you guessed it – troches, but also weapons and
drums, which they play and chant.
There have been sightings of the Torch Bearers, but if you ever come across one, you must
not look them in the eye, as they may march you to the afterlife, too…unless one of
your relatives is in the tribe who can vouch for you.
You know that the Huaka ipo are nearby if you hear distant drumming, hear conch shell
horns, see faint torchlight and smell faint foul odor.
Rumours and reports of Torch Bearer sightings have been rife over the years and are engrained
in Hawaiian folklore.
6- Korubo or Dslala Tribe The Korubo, also known as the Dslala tribe
are well known for their big clubs – as it… battering sticks!
The Korubo are one of the most isolated tribes in the world and they do not want to be contacted.
The tribe are quite visually scary to look at – they paint themselves red with dye
made from the Roucou plant.
The tribe live in the Western Amazon Basin and regularly have clashes with local tribes,
using their clubs to beat people to death.
They also are fond of the humble poison dart!
The tribe are hostile to outsiders and in recent history they have beat to death three
loggers and workers for FUNAI, a Brazilian government initiative to protect indigenous
tribes.
5 - The Surma Tribe The Surma live in the Bench Maji Zone of the
Southern Nations, Nationalities and People’s Region of Ethiopia.
The tribe are particularly scary and dangerous if you are an outsider like us because instead
of clubs, spears, or darts, the band have automatic guns.
Yikes.
Guns aside for the moment – the tribe have a tradition of beating one another with sticks
as a right of passage before they can officially become a man, so as you can gather, the Surma
don’t shy away from violence.
While the Surma do have guns and are hostile to outsiders, there actually any reported
incidences of them shooting outsiders.
I guess while things may seem barbaric to us, who are we to judge the tribe when we
do similarly barbaric things all the time…
I guess it is a matter of perspective?
4 - Anghori Sect The Anghori Sect are infamous for their morbid
worship practices.
They use a corpse during their rituals and often threaten to eat people.
Have a watch of a CNN reporters interaction with them…
Editors clip.
Yep.
I would be terrified.
The reporter then starts asking questions which are not met with a happy response.
Have a listen.
I think I would be absolutely bricking it.
The sect is very secretive and they generally shy away from interaction with others.
Not 100 percent exactly a tribe….
But like…..
A TERRIFYING story and a terrifying jungle gang in Papua New Guinea… at number ** we
have 3 - The Cargo Cult
This is such a scary story!
This story starts with Stephen Tari – a man who gathered thousands of disciples in
Papua New Guinea’s jungles and encouraged them to be part of his sect.
The man wore white robes and preached his own gospel while standing on a rock and calling
himself Black Jesus.
The cult lived in the jungle much like a tribe and Tari as leader would regularly lead ritual
human sacrifice.
On one occasion he slaughtered a virgin he called his Flower Girl and encouraged his
following to drink her blood.
One mother testified that she was made to drink her own daughter’s blood.
It seems that the tribe like cult turned against him and he was murdered himself in 2013.
Now I have put this fearsome tribe at number 2 not 1 because I think you have probably
already heard of them…
2 Sentinelese Tribe AH.
You may have heard of this tribe in regards to the recent murder of John Allen Chau, a
26 year old American Missionary who was sent by the All Nations group to make contact and
live among the tribe, hoping to convert them to Christianity.
Not a good idea.
They killed him.
These is the theme with people who come too close to the tribe.
The North Sentinel Island amid the Indian Ocean has been the home to an the Sentinelese
people for 60,000 years.
Until recently, the tribe has only been spotted through far off images and have been known
to fire arrows at low flying planes.
It is hard to contact a tribe who have literally no interest in communication but most of those
who have tried haven’t lived to tell the tale.
Some have met their fury by accent.
In 2006 two fisherman who were illegally harvesting crabs were killed by the tribe.
Chau is the most recent victim.
He kept a journal of his attempts to spread the word of Jesus – he sang songs and offered
the bible to the tribe…which was shot at and pierced with an arrow by a young boy.
He persisted to no avail and was met with a mixture of laughter and hostility.
It was last reported by the crew who went with him that he was dragged away and killed.
His body was spotted lifeless on the shore.
1 - Korowai Tribe The Korowai tribe are one of the most feared
tribes in the world.
They were only discovered in 1974 and since then encounters have been very limited.
The tribe, based in Papua New Guinea.
The Korowai live in trees so as to have a height advantage when intruders come into
their space.
They are known to shoot arrows at any trespassers and they believe that white people are possessed
by ghosts or demons.
It is thought that the Korowai tribe killed Michael Rockerfeller who disappeared after
attempting contact in the 60s.
Some reports say his body was seen amid the tribe on a beach.
In 2014, Australuan Journalist Paul Raffaele visited the tribe and discovered they do still
very much eat people.
They eat the bodies of people who die of mysterious circumstances because they think they have
been possessed by a Khakhua.
The logic is they must eat the Khakhua as they ate the person who died.
It is an act of revenge.
Everything is eaten except the hair, nails and penis.
SO that was the top 10 Scariest Tribes ! Which of these did you find the scariest?
Part of me loves making videos like this because I feel like we can all learn something from
other cultures, but the other part of me doesn’t want to point at them and say they are scary
– they’re only scary to us because we are outsiders and they quite fairly just want
to be left alone.
Tribes are part of our history as humans and I wonder for how much longer they will continue
to exist if we keep interfering and encroaching on their territory.
