For the four days of the equinox, each family must catch enough fish to survive the rainy season, when it becomes too dangerous to take the pirogues out to sea.

“The sea has always been good to us and we refuse to poison it” - PROFOUND STATEMENT 🙏🏿 God bless these people

[@ziirhuuwhetongoli1857]

For reals! These people have the right idea, they know there's a balance in life and in nature and they definitely know how to keep it! God bless them and their home! 🙏✌️

[@10laws2liveby]

Ye it is true what you say, but there are forces more powerful than those people who are poisoning it and killing it in far more sinister ways than they can imagine. I wonder if they could raise their voices in protest to help those who are trying to stop it?

Now they got you wearing masks and imprisoning you in your own homes. Each to their own is well and good, BUT NOT when it affects the rest of us.

[@dade8053]

What an amazing life. I bet a lot of people watching see them as primitive and backwards but I guarantee you those people have more meaningful lives than most of us will ever have. Most of us go to school, get a job, get married then work until retirement while living in a neighborhood where we never get to know our neighbors other than a wave from time to time then retire and try to move to a warmer place where we reminisce on our younger days when we had a purpose (work and raising a family) these people on the other hand have a purpose all through their lives.

[@10laws2liveby]

I think you'ed find it's not quite as simple as that, especially when they get a tooth abscess that can kill them or no cloth to repair a sail, Life can be hard and filled with sorrow for everyone. Hate to pop your bubble, but how will they survive when huge societies ruin the fishing?

[@dade8053]

@@10laws2liveby Hard to get cavities when you don’t eat processed foods high in sugar therefore the chances of getting a tooth abscess is a lot lower than you might think for these people. Also humans lived thousands of years without modern dental care and the solution when all else failed was an extraction. Life isn’t suppose to be easy. A life without some type of challenge becomes dull and our brains evolved to figure out solutions to life problems. The fishing industry mainly affects deep sea fish species. But yes our society impacts their life unfortunately.

So funny that you are from Fiji. I said to myself while watching the documentary that their culture reminds me of the Pacific Islanders

[@kagar3465]

It's more Southeast Asian than Pacific Islander culture. The first people to inhabit Madagascar were Malay people from Borneo hundreds of years before the Bantu set foot on the island. Look at there boats, it is a Maritime Southeast Asia canoe design. Besides Indonesia and Philippines, only Madagascar have this design of boats with 2 outriggers on both sides. Pacific Islander boats only have one outrigger. Plus, rice is a staple diet in Malagasy culture just like Asians.

A beautiful village on the beach in the beginning of this video. Real paradise.!! The weather in the tropics is not warm anymore, but hot. This because of the global warming going on. As a child, I could stand barefoot on the asfalt round noon full sun, in the mid/late 60s, waiting for the ice cream truck to pass by. Now in 2023 I can’t even walk on the asfalt anymore. Even the sand I walk on is hurting my feet, because it’s too hot. I wonder how these people on the video are handeling the heat thats getting worse every year…..
