I'm not Melanesian but from NW India. Kindly accept my regards and respect. I love Papua New Guinea and the Papuans under Indonesian occupation. I haven't yet seen enough of Vanuatu but since they are also Melanesians, they too have to be awesome. You're wonderful people and so close to nature. I'm aware of some of the issues PNG and Native Australians face. I also had a dream once where I was on a train that was running through a land that looked a bit barren like Australia and the people on it looked very different than any kind of humans I've ever seen. No words were exchanged. I looked at them and they at me. All peaceful. I remember waking up so calm and refreshed. I quickly recalled Australia and PNG. Some dreams, you never forget, I guess. Deep respect for all Melanesians. ❤ 🌹 💐

[@jennodine]

@@samindaperamuna6392 Throughout my life, the best ideas I get come to me from somewhere else. I have always described it as having an angel whisper in my ear, because these are often profound and complex truths that others cannot yet see. They were also difficult for me to explain to others until I developed enough vocabulary to articulate them. I was raised by a single mom in the 70s, so I grew up without cable tv or long distance telephone service. I went back to school shopping at the Salvation Army every year. I didn’t enjoy the material comfort of a two-income family. At a very early age, even before I started school, I wondered how money came to hold such power over our lives, and who invented it to begin with, and how long did humanity survive before money? I don’t know how much Native American blood I have, I only know that I share blood with a tribe from Canada. Maybe Cree. Only now am I beginning to speculate that perhaps my native ancestors have been whispering wisdom into my ears for my whole life.

after watching many of these documentaries one thing I have noticed is they all respect the elderly, they don't put them in nursing homes to die alone.

Thank you for making and sharing this wonderful documentary. I love how everyone lives in peace and harmony. I love the simplicity of their lives. I feel a desire to visit Vanuatu one day. Hopefully I will do so 💜💙🙏🏾💚💛🤗😁

[@theobserver9131]

I also appreciate the simplicity of their lives, but don't think that everything is all hunky-dory like Disneyland. Life is hard. They die of things that we can take care of with one visit to a doctor. There's also very little shelter from the elements, and biting insects!

[@theobserver9131]

I've had the privilege of living both kinds of life. I love living like a primitive out in the wilds, but when things get hard or life-threatening, I also appreciate our advanced civilization.

My wife grew up on an island in a man grove. There was still old handmade wood canoes 35 years ago much like this one in the video. The big trees to carve these canoes are getting harder to find. My wife got her first pair of shoes when she was 16. She saw her first automobile the same week.

I remember, when my Mom cooked turtle meat, the custom was to add brandy & wine to the stew... When I told that to my Ugandan friend, she thought it strange that we ate sea turtle meat & was abit repulsed by the idea. However, when she told me about fried & the chocolate covered ants that they enjoyed, it was my turn to be utterly repulsed as well. ☺

[@aedorah]

🤣🤣🤣. The chocolate covered ants are called white ants i guess bse they have pearl whitish wings and they are seasonal. They are very delicious.

Turtles are endangered, Mr. spiritual - 187 species are threatened, according to the IUCN Red List criteria. Of these, 127 are endangered or critically endangered. Many could go extinct this century. Keep eating

@@TAROTAI no body really knos these things kids the oceans are unexplored 90% never been mapped below so think about that them numbers they give you are lies common sense if its 90% unexplored how would they no what the so call numbers is animals are smart an most that are gone completely stay away from humans for big reasons 💯💪💯

[@Bambisgf77]

@@paranormalgambler2814 it is true that ocean is unexplored but the LAND is NOT. Sea turtles do NOT lay eggs on some magic sea cloud! They lay them on the solid earth where we are clearly able to see how many hatch & how few make it back to the beaches they were born on to continue the cycle. Please do not spread false information like this. Uneducated people will believe you.

interesting. In hindu culuture. the 10 incarnations of Vishnu starts from fish, turtle, boar, and all the way to forest dwelling man, civilized man, greedy evil man and finally ends with Kalki who will destroy to recreate. It is funny this tribe has chosen exactly the Turtle and Pig (which is a variant of the wild boar) to represent the transition from sea to land.

[@MzClementine]

Watching this makes me so emotional. Knowing the history that I know. The manipulation that I know. The comfort and peace we once all lived. And what's funny is that we lived modernly and our ancient times. Right along with individuals just like this. The families that took power. And destroyed history rewrote it. Manipulated it twisted it. Fashioned it as one society over another but ignored all other cultures. Gave no excuse to the destruction just shoulder struggs. Yet you can see the history and the secrets left behind. You can see the manipulation within knowledge. You can see the manipulation within so many fractal bits. The destruction of such advanced technology within the world fairs. Proclaiming these individuals built these buildings all of their own accord only fashioning certain photographs and then proclaiming oh we did that all of it. They're the ones that brought us photography. If you know photography not just digital film. Thinking of photograph is very easy. It takes no more than overlaying negatives. Literally as simple as cutting one out placing it on another. And then development. You can get away with so much by an overexposed background. So easy to cut into. You can see the destruction around the world rocks melting. No way you can convince me that that happened from a comment. These elitist these royals proclaimed by God. As well as the elite churches. Did you wish the Muslim the Catholic Christian faith. They are the ones that actually handed you knowledge. Only after they handed you religion. They destroyed our connection. They manipulated people. Calling them heretics pointing them out canceling people making others higher than another individual just as they're doing right now with all of us. And the way life has been. This is out played many times. They even had to destroy certain things they had no explanation for although certain relics still stand. And thank goodness too many of us are wise to the manipulation. Too many of us have not been affected by the deducation so many received. It's heart-wrenching to witness what I'm witnessing. I want to shake everyone awake as if I'm trying to get them to breathe and pull in air. When they are fading fast. They don't pay attention to the little fractal parts of their lives that have been manipulated. They don't follow the fractal details of day-to-day life of manipulation of science, knowledge, they own your schools from the small to the large. They own your religion. Even the ones that wholeheartedly believe in it. So satanic. Do you really think a deity gave you his only son in a physical form for you to murder that which his blood you are healed of your sins? Praying over a slain man on a cross, taking eight of my body and drink of My blood. Makes me laugh if that isn't satanic I don't know what is and I knew that at 5 years old. They made a pact. they made it illegal for any woman to work if she was pregnant. This is the seed start of the church's collecting children. The seed set, a child born unto parents not married, that child is illegitimate and a bastard. How hilarious is that. Demonizing a child. Telling people that you were actually born into sin. And the proverbial talking snake. Funny thing happens whenever you add a vowel. Nssh old wise one one with knowledge and wisdom and health. Our language was much more open and fluid for imagination and creation individually. As a matter of fact the younger mind has a brain wave within their imagination their ability to see outside of the picture that's handed to them. A well-trained mind will always be able to do so. Pulling into a theta mindset and seeing it physically in their mind and being able to question all parts. They have broken you of that. They have led a society a large amount 2.3 billion Christians 2 billion Muslims that actually believe some deity is going to come down and save us. That they should worry about their soul for the afterlife when individuals literally pillage and cause harm right in front of your face. So many on their hands and knees praying giving it to God is like sweeping the physical problems were all experiencing underneath the rug. And now everyone must ignore the hump under the rug. Cuz we're waiting for something greater than us. Yet weren't we made in a great image? If you actually study a lot of history you will see. We are creative. We are physical manifesters. If you believe it it will be so. Just as that man believes in those magical rocks and the power that he harnesses with them they will make him even more powerful and all will align. Belief is 110% everything. That's why these elites got a lot of people to believe in some deity that gave us his son that is going to come back another day. Take and eat of my body and drink of my blood that communion is just unbelievably sickening. Raising one from the dead only to come again. Through the shed of their blood you make it to a better life yet humanity is the one that murdered him? Do you see how corrupt this is? And humanity is not the wiser because they have control of your weather control of your mind by the TV that you watch. The emotional things that attach to you because they follow congruent with you. So many of you have lived it feels like lifetimes. From the trauma and abuse that our world likes to bat a blind eye to. Especially within the controls. Such as the Catholic church. Making it illegal for any pregnant woman to work, individuals that were found helping one would only be canceled and shunned. They have been using the shunning technique for quite a while. And look at what we are doing with people that are injured and our so-called alchemy group I'm sorry no I meant big pharma and medical group. The eugenic practice of manipulating human DNA is alive and thriving by the mind and by the body. And so many of you are not the wiser. Well humanity if you don't put your proverbial foot down soon. They are going to terraform your human genome so severely I guarantee you you will not recognize a human if I were to show you them in a thousand years. You would not recognize your own face. You are the answers you seek you always have been. Nothing outside of yourself brings you power but the belief within you that you have power. It is as simple as that. They project the negative in the evil while they do negative and evil. Yet your side sits there and waits for some deity to come save you and they physically manipulate and sacrifice on The daily. Your time and your alignments aren't even given to you because they've hidden that from you you're not even on the timeline we're supposed to be on. Literally. They painted themselves over history they were the ones to deface everything. Did you know that you can literally test fresh magma and it will show to be millions of years old. Did you know that every single volcano is practically active and even the dormant ones are becoming active. We have more volcanoes going off right now than we ever have. Did anyone bother to watch the actual events unfolding to the earthquakes that were happening on the canary islands. If one triggers a severe earthquake and an eruption there the Eastern board of America will flood. If you pay attention to certain things that they do. And so funny you can actually watch it out pan within the data. They're so called d e w. Funny how that works if you actually study and pay attention. So much information harvested. Y'all. There is nothing that is going to unfold that is natural and trust me they are going to go underground and wait. Wait half of the world is injected with biotechnology. The one p-36 gene deletion syndrome is about to crisply unfold. Nickname. What I call it. They're about to literally sick individuals on everyone. You're about to see a lot of humanity go nuts and it will happen within the next 6 years. I guarantee you if you put your foot down and you start holding people accountable it'll happen sooner. And I hope it does because these people need to be stopped before all of their 6G technology. Tick tock. And please pay attention to what they are doing. Geordie Rose of Kindred Al presents Super-intelligent Aliens look that up black glasses black T-shirt watch it. Pay attention. And please don't you dare proclaim see this is evil this is satanic. Yeah you need to like do something because no God is coming to save you. The ignorant fools that stole this technology and are using it for harm. I cannot stress to you that if you don't put a physical foot down. Humanity is going to suffer I'll because you waited on some deity that they made up. Yep
