In Papuawa’s rainforest, where rivers snake through dense green and the air hums with life, live the Cororoway people. They are one of the few tribes in the world still building homes high in the treetops. Some perched more than 30 m above the ground. Why so high? to protect against insects, flooding, and historically even rival tribes. Building these houses is a feat of skill and bravery. Cutting trees with stone tools, lashing logs with vines, and climbing dizzying ladders daily. [Music] Life here revolves around hunting wild pigs, fishing, and foraging. The forest is supermarket, pharmacy, and temple all at once. Until the 1970s, the Cororai had almost no contact with the outside world. Outsiders saw them as living in another time. But for the Coroway, their way of life is timeless. On the wide open plains of East Africa live the Marsai, guardians of tradition and masters of survival in the savannah. For the Marai, cattle are life. [Music] They provide milk, blood, and meat, but also represent wealth, marriage dowies, and even spiritual connection. A man’s cattle are his bank, his pride, his family’s lifeline. The Masai are famous for their ceremonies. From the Yunoto, where boys become warriors, to their vibrant jumping dances, symbols of strength and energy. Their bright red robes called shuka stand out boldly against the landscape. Despite pressures from modern governments and land restrictions, the Marai have fiercely preserved their language, dress, and pastoral lifestyle. They remind the world that tradition can thrive even in the face of modernity. Their beaded jewelry encodes age, status, and stories. Each color carries meaning. Red for bravery, white for milk, blue for sky and rain. Families live in circular bulmers, thorn fenced homesteads where life moves with the seasons and the migrations of cattle. Today, Masai lead wildlife conservies and lion guardian programs protecting cattle and big cats together. Imagine living where winters drop below 50° C. In Siberia’s Yakutia region, the Yakoot people endure one of Earth’s coldest inhabited places. [Music] To survive, they raise hardy horses and reindeer, both vital for transport, clothing, and food. Their houses are insulated with wood and fur, and their diets rely on frozen fish and meat. Fresh vegetables are a rare luxury in this frozen land. [Music] But life here isn’t just about survival. The Yakut hold vibrant festivals like Isyak, celebrating the summer solstice with horse racing, throat singing, and offerings to nature spirits. Their traditions are rooted in shamanism where the land, sky, and animals are alive with spirits. Against the odds, the Yakut thrive, showing that warmth can be found even in the coldest corners of the earth. Next, we head to the ocean to meet the Barau, known as the sea nomads of Southeast Asia. For centuries, they’ve lived aboard houseboats drifting across the waters of the Philippines, Malaysia, and Indonesia. What makes them truly unreal? Their bodies have physically adapted to their lifestyle. Baja divers have enlarged spleens, allowing them to store more oxygen, and their eyesight underwater is sharper than most humans. Children learn to swim before they can walk. Men dive over 70 m deep with nothing but wooden goggles and spears. Women gather shellfish from the shallows. Though many now live in stilt villages, the Baja spirit is forever tied to the sea. They are not visitors to the ocean. They are part of it. Along these waters, families craft leper houseboats by hand, hulls stitched, boards pegged, skills passed from elders to children. [Music] Baja divers’s practice breath holds for minutes, equalizing gently as they glide, reading light, currents, and reef like a map. Yet changing seas and restrictions challenge tradition. So communities blend fishing with reef care, keeping the ocean alive for their children. At dawn in Papua New Guiney’s eastern highlands, mist drifts over the Assaro River and the green shoulders of the valley. Here the Asaro mudman gather pale river clay, hands kneading earth, shaping wide eyes and tusklike teeth, masks drying by a small fire in white clay and towering masks with bamboo fingers. Mudmen move slowly and silently through the greenery. Part ritual, part story. Legend tells of warriors in retreat caked in a river clay. At night, they appeared like spirits and their enemies fled. Daily life continues. Women tend gardens. Children laugh. Men refine masks. culture held in careful, steady hands. At festivals and markets, stories step into motion. Measured strides, drum beats, masks lined on mats painted with earth pigments. Visitors watch respectfully. Smiles are exchanged. Crafts change hands. The community guiding how tradition meets the present. On a boulder above the valley, the mudman stand against the mist, reminding us that imagination can be armor. Among the islands of the Andaman Sea live the Mochan people, often called sea gypsies. Like the baro, their lives revolve around the ocean. The mochan can see underwater twice as clearly as most humans thanks to unique training of their pupils. Children dive for shells and fish with incredible ease, while adults navigate treacherous seas using knowledge passed down through generations. They believe in the spirit of the sea, guiding their voyages and protecting them from storms. But modern development and restrictions on fishing threaten their way of life, pushing them closer to land. Still, the Mochen remain tied to the sea. Their home, their teacher, their protector. On the cliffs of Maralley’s Bandiagara escarment live the Doon people, one of Africa’s most fascinating cultures. Their villages cling to sheer rock faces blending into the landscape. The Doon are famous for their masked dances where elaborate wooden masks bring ancestral spirits to life. Their carvings and architecture reflect deep symbolism and cosmic beliefs. For decades, researchers have debated their astronomical knowledge, with some claiming the Doon knew of the star Sirius B long before telescopes. Whether myth or truth, their wisdom continues to inspire. To the Doon, the universe is alive, and their traditions are a way to stay in harmony with it. Off the coast of Sumatra lie the Mentoay Islands, rained jungles, reef protected seas. The Mentor keep a deep bond with the forest, tattoos, filed teeth marks of beauty, balance, and belonging. Life flows through stilted um long houses sago prepared by hand hunters paddlers in the green hush. Hunters carry poison tipped arrows. Detail of mixing poison and tipping arrows, taking only what is needed. Sikurai shamans lead rituals, chants and dance. Preparing plant medicine, keeping harmony with humans, animals, spirits. Bark cloth, beating and drying, rattan weaving, careful gathering of medicinal leaves, harvest gently, give thanks to the forest. Though logging and tourism press in, families work to keep language, rituals, tattoos alive. Because for the mentor, health means living in balance. Bodyclan forest and sea as one. On river routes, outrigger canoes stitch villages together carrying sago fish and news between families. During ceremonies, gongs and drums pulse as dancers in bark cloth honor ancestors and the forest spirits. Elders teach children forest signs, tracks, tides, and bird calls so balance survives beyond the next monsoon. In Bhutan’s high mountains, the Tiger’s Nest Monastery seems almost unreal. Perched on a cliff nearly 3,000 m above the valley floor. Legend says Guru Rin Poche who brought Buddhism to Bhutan flew here on the back of a tigress meditating in the caves for 3 years. Today monks live here in silence and devotion dedicating their lives to prayer, meditation and discipline. For them, life is not about survival in the material world, but about the journey to enlightenment. [Music] In the Sahara Desert, the world’s largest hot desert, survive the Tuare nomads. Known as the blue people for their indigo dyed veils, the Tuare are masters of desert survival. Their camels carry salt, water, and trade goods across landscapes that seem endless. They navigate by the stars, finding hidden oases where life can continue. The Tuare are not just survivors. They are poets, musicians, and storytellers with songs that echo across the dunes at night. Their resilience is matched only by their elegance. [Music] In Colombia’s Sierra, Nevada de Santa Marta mountains live the Kogi people who call themselves the Elder brothers. The Kogi believe they are guardians of the world, tasked with keeping balance between nature and humanity. They warned that modern society, the younger brothers, are damaging the earth and that harmony must be restored. Guided by spiritual leaders called mammos, chosen as children and trained in caves for years, the Ki maintain wisdom passed down for centuries. Their way of life is not just about survival. It’s about protecting the future of the planet for us all. Ki men carry papos gourds with lime for cocoa, symbols of responsibility and thoughtfulness. Women weave moulas patterns mapping rivers and mountains, memory stitched into every thread. They ask us, the younger brothers, to listen and help protect the heart of the world. From the frozen tundras to the burning deserts, from the sea to the sky, these communities show us what it truly means to be human. Their lives may seem unreal to us, but they are real, thriving, and deeply connected to their lands, their beliefs, and their traditions. So, which of these extraordinary people amazed you the most?

I believe that the only salvation for humanity is educating its youth in the knowledge from understanding of how other peoples live their lives and have lived that way for thousands of years. We have for thousands of years fought wars and discriminated against anyone that does not see things our way. Who truly knows if there is a hereafter life and how to get there. however today there are people shedding the blood of others and dying fighting to prove their way is the right way to the promised land when no one really knows if any such place really exists.
And were do they get T-shirt and trousers made of tissues.
They jump from a young age because it makes them taller
If only they never existed, everywhere would be a better world..🧑🤝🧑brings destruction and disease every place they have been.

I'm terribly sorry these tribes have let others know about them. It will be their downfall.
Sir you must have also covered the Toda tribe of Nulgiris Tamilnadu India. Surprisingly they are vegetarians and live on buffalo milk ghee and vegetables. It seems their original origin was Greek when Alexander invaded India and went back.Jai
I like them all❤
