I think this was a perfect experience for her and helped her become a better person. I'm personally very happy she went and was able to grow as a person. She definitely needed this experience.
I agree that she needed it. The family is so loving and beautiful. The western way, is not the only way to be in this world, and a simple life of family, friends, and community, is something that I think many people would benefit from, me included!
Out of all the episodes in these series, this one is my favorite. I would not mind at all to be one of them and be where they are. There's so much more simplicity of life there and it really is a paradise.

As a Papua New Guinean 🇵🇬 and a Pacific islander, I wanna say thank you to BBC, the crew, and Becky to show our culture and way of life of our country and people 🙏🏿 honestly as a grown man, the last part get me in tears 😭.
What wonderful beautiful simple people with genuine true love . The soft caring way of speaking , the simple but profound ways of showing their love .....so wonderful to see .
I'm from another island in that country called New Britain island. And I can tell you honestly that our people are very very friendly despite the negative criticism from the outside world. I missed my island people because I'm studying overseas.
OMG. They made me cry at the end. Such sweet, kind, loving and emotional people who were sooo sad to see Becky leave. It was really like a death for them and they had only known her for a month. Wish everyone could feel this kind of love.
@@yourindanger9818 Can you please tell me how she was disrespectful? (I sincerely mean that, because I didn't hear anything indicating that she was disrespectful. What did you see that I may have missed? (I'm totally blind, so I can only listen to these videos). And yes, I'm typing this and reading everything using text-to-speech software that tells me what I'm typing and what I'm reading here in the comments. Thank you very much.
It was lovely to see how love can transcend cultural barriers. Thank you for this wonderful series and especially for putting it on youtube. We don't own a TV set (by adamant choice) and I'd never have seen this had it not been on youtube.
I see and lot of love and respect between two different cultures and that is what we need more of these days. I admire the family for taking in and accepting Becky as their own. As for Becky I am happy for you as throughout your journey you've learnt there is more to life than a heartache. What beautiful story and thank you for sharing. Awesome 👍
2019 anyone, lol? This was an amazing documentary! Barbara is a natural beautiful woman. When sitting in garden she seemed pretty and also very wise. 45:20 when Daddy accepted her into his tribe, I actually teared up. Very lovely video, thank you! Blessings to you Becky. I hope you’re well and rediscovered your self-worth and purpose here on earth!
as a pacific islander myself i feel all the love! we always have love for everything, anything & anyone!! at the last part i can totally relate as i too had to leave my home island for the new world... very heartbreaking! 💔💔💔💔💔😢😢😢😢
Being in the same situation as Becky this documental touched my life. I am grateful for life and this people teach me so much. I have been deeply touched battling depression and a breakup it feels like mourning death One day the pain will go. Thanks!
While watching this I found myself longing to feel what it is like to live in such a close knit community. And, to be so close as a family doin everything together. Unfortunately, my family growing up and even now are not close. What a great people!! Very respectful and caring with one another!! I live in America.. Life just seems so complicated and busy. Internet, games and other technology. These are my thoughts after watching this Documentary...
you got a rare glimpse into a life that's free and clean. Love and family are all the people of these islands have. To have shared that with them you have become them. They will never forget you. You have become ingrained in their hearts and minds. Their will be a song sung about you. Remember them honor them go back to see them. I'm sure they miss you.
My mother is from this Island and this was filmed in the heart of her village. It's a beautiful place. They have a rich culture; a culture of traditions and a culture that promotes good morals. Kitava Island is one of a few chosen stopovers for tourist cruise ships P & O Cruise Liners.
I'm glad Seti accepted her as his precious daughter, she desperately needed that bond; to know how a father truly loves and cherishes a daughter. Seti cultivated a respect, honor and love in her heart for the father and daughter bond. The ending had me in tears. God sent Becky to her new father.
aww this made me cry.. shows that we are all God's children and that no one is born racist, the best part about it is when she accepted Becky as her sister.... oh what love
kibaya cruz, Becky did grow up at the end because of them. Been so kind to her. They are very good people. I did cry too at the end for all of them including Becky.
Excellent reportage..amazing, welcoming, wonderful tribe population💕..Becky ..important to listen to Father's direction and respect all rules and regulations.. Becky you are one lucky woman to experience a new culture ..I just about lost it when she was added to the family tree...sisters for ever! back to video.. moi, canada 🇨🇦
Wow, beautiful story,left me crying. So proud of Seti and his family of Kitava Island for taking Becky into their family and showing her our Melanesian Hospitality 🇵🇬❤️👍🙏

She did an amazing job. I am a native African from west Africa, Liberia. I've worked as a field worker and have traveled to other parts of my country and other African countries where we have different cultures and beliefs. Adopting to a different culture is difficult... She did a great job!
Barbara is a treasure. It’s not easy to find loving open fellow humans in this day & age. Practicality & guidance & kindness, Becky is extremely lucky to be with that family.
im from cape verde, africa and lived in a few african countries, there are cultural differences but not hard to cope with at all. i now live in china and human beings can adapt anywhere.
i love this kind of people very generous and most of all a loving person😘and the last part that's makes me cry😭😭 i salute u ms. becky👍👏god bless u more.. greetings from philippines😘
She had daddy problems (trust issues) and that's why her relationship with men was never a good experience. She thought there was something wrong with her and that's why she was always being rejected. In reality she didn't expect much from a man and felt they were never going to stick around long anyway. She got to have a special daddy who honored her and respected her. He gave her a special gift he had made himself. He could scold as well as lift her up. I know these people really loved her and it wasn't a love that people usually barter for. She learned to respect and accept them as she did them. It's hard for modern cultures to accept love from others due to past hurts and pain. I hope she has grown mentally and spiritually by this experience. They haven't been corrupted by society. They truly are lovely people. ❤🙏🕊
Becky is a very beautiful, kind, sweet woman. I wish we've known each other. Could call her very fortunate to experience & embrace the unique culture of these tribal people. They are very loving, generous, kind, protective people & they live in a place called "paradise" which is so damn true. I live to work in the beautiful city of Port Moresby where all expatriates of different nationalities meet. This country is so rich in natural resources & you'll enjoy their coral seas, virgin islands & the warmth treatments of the locals are so genuine beyond compare. They are under British Colony & the Queen loves them. When I left the place I was also very nostalgic & broken hearted I could cry. Thanks a lot to my local employer (Morea Ray, Emily & family ) for the wonderful job you gave me & the sincere love so worth living for. I wish that one day we'll have the chance to see each other again
She's not the problem, those men in her life was, and that's their lost. A gorgeous, well educated, loving steady young woman like her is a gem!!! I just can't believe them leaving her!!! I just can't!
I bet if her job told her to go to a meeting she would go no matter where it is or what it represents. You go to church, you listen to the service, you glean what you think is important and dang you go home. You don't insult your host and your boss would tell you to find another job...it is your priorities...you are trying to free those that don't need to be freed, they have the beliefs, so why should they change to yours. spoiled, spoiled...
It is nearly impossible to turn off ones own culture, like a light switch on a wall. I thought she did just fine. With time she replaced what she knew with new ideas and values. Not an easy task, not by any measure. But with help, encouragement and time she was learning her new culhture and participating. I thought she did very well!
Becky you are an amazing person, I applaud your courage to enter a world of which you have no knowledge , their culture their traditions, to join in with their way of life and learn of their love they have regardless of who or what your beliefs are, they welcomed you into their family as part of their family. What wonderful people, if only the rest of world thought this way, what a wonderful world it would be, The loves that past you by, it's their loss, have no regrets. great video. thumbs up
Oh my how I wish I could do something like this. My stepfather was from Nigeria and I learned new foods, words, culture and so much more. We as people should always embrace different cultures and people I love to learn. Definitely teach it to my child.🤗🤗 I traveled to Germany all alone could not speak German of course and had the pleasure of meeting a nice Turkish gentleman that helped me to read and understand. Kind person to an African American girl and made sure I found my family. When others passed me by. People are awesome still.😘😎
I totally enjoyed this presentation! I would love, LOVE L O V E the opportunity to stay with such a tribe and get back to the Land. I'm a Country girl anyway! LOL! I feel the LOVE from them towards her. It's agape (unconditional) LOVE!
Completely agree.There is no shortage of naysayers on the comments for this video. Apparently she was rude, should never have left her country, and didn't adapt to their customs??? We must have been watching two completely different videos. I thought she did exceptionally well. There were a few hiccups in the beginning, but how is that not to expected? I would go beyond saying she did well. I think she kicked serious ass there. She did adapt, she tried to learn some of the language, she engaged and befriended people there, she took part in a lot of the activities, and she conquered some of her own demons. I'm really not sure how she could have done any better, bar staying and truly becoming a part of the tribe. I spent many years on the road and in the bush in neighboring Indonesia (including Papua). They are seriously amazing people. And I was impressed with Becky.
@@johnshirley8099 perhaps it may be possible that weikai is on the mainland? we do have internet in Papua New Guinea, most people usually use mobile data.
I think during ones live we could all do with this opportunity to experience another culture and abide by there ways, we could all feel better having by escaping our way of life for a short time, be at one and learn other people's beliefs and traditions, so so peaceful way of life compared to ours in the 21st century, I'm surprised this way of life exists today, beautiful documentary, beautiful person Becky, I hope you find real love and peace xxxxx Ray, Notts Uk 🇬🇧😘
To watch their culture is relaxing and thankful of my life here in the US OF AMERICA, my eyes are teary to see her leave too, as tho i was there amongst them too god bless them AMEN.
It shows how people who have not a lot can actually turn out to be the happiest of humans and those with much materialistic things are actually more sad deep down.
The hardest part for the village people to experience is to say good buy to any loved one leaving the village and the Island, coz of the fact that the person might not come back
Fantastic life story of Becky with the natives of Kotova, New Guinea. The characters including Becky are so genuine and very touching. Becky, besides being humble is so adorable and lovable in her natural beauty. Hope to see more stories like this. - AC bicolman from California, USA
Oh what a loving and caring people. They loved her with everything they had even though she was a bit disrespectful to their culture. The end really made me cry. I really hope she went back to at least help them with some medical needs. Much love from me❤️
What a special and beautiful experience. Even with the strangeness that Becky first experienced it became very clear how a great deal of love and respect developed between them. They really became family with a life long tie that will never be broken. I am so impressed by these beautiful people and their love and respect for each other.
She seemed kind of pretentious and self-absorbed in the beginning, but the love of these people brought her down to earth. I hope she left truly understanding what she meant to them, and I hope so, so dearly that she kept in touch and will return to visit them.
I am from PNG, but another part of the Country. Kitava is an island in the Trobriand Group, Milne Bay Province of PNG. These people are very friendly as displayed in the video. The nature and character of these people are for real. I hope Becky had not come to Kitava just to satisfy her whims and inadequacies in her modern English society. She can only be real if can reciprocate by keeping in touch with these people, and maybe revisit them again.
Such a beautiful and uplifting story to watch. Well done Becky.....I wish you all the best and know that it has changed your life for the better..."Going back to basics" is the recipe for wholesomeness and for finding the essence of who you truly are.
I'd like to thank everyone for the complements on your comments.. I was born and raised on that Island...seeing your positive comments made me super humble to say thanks again to Becky and the crew for visiting our beautiful island of Kitava..
She then began to embrace their culture and be one of them. Shows her respect and even speaks their language. .she is just so so sweet...a teary ending though...
Becky, thank you for uploading this great adventure story you have made to my country. The island you have visited could be one of the Islands of Love as it is locally known since it is associated with yam harvesting seasons and sexual festivities. This unique culture certainly attracts both national and international tourists.
We all have a tendency to hold on to somethings just to be in control what we can, the broken relationship with her Father could have brought about a resistance to other things, to understand some people's pain we must walk in their shoes.! That was a beautiful documentary, it just shows we need people even if they have different cultures!
Barbara is sooo pure and lovely, pure genuine love. When live is simple it's just therapeutic, we have lost that and hence out depression. Also, genuine love drives out fear. That's why she is now happier after this experience. Blessings to them
When I turned 16 I was trapped with my abuser and my life was in shambles. I got a job and tried saving money, I planned to pack a backpack and buy a ticket out of Philadelphia, to any city. I wanted to leave and find myself on an island like this❤️ but my abuser introduced me to heroin and got me pregnant. I ended up staying with family and raising my daughter until I went on my own with her. I never made it out of Philadelphia. Life isn’t want I accepted but that daughter is now 16, and I had 3 other children, own my home and in a healthy relationship. But I wonder how my life would have been if I made it to some beautiful island with beautiful people. Sorry for the story.
I’m happy in the end she eventually adopt to their way of life , who else cry when everyone started crying ? These ppl have so much love to give especially to a stranger to their family , wow that was beautiful 😍😍😍😍
Hi, This beautiful documentary truly shows how we can adjust and adapt to a totally new culture and environment. Knowing that what ever circumstances and challenges we encounter can change our beliefs and past experiences and make us totally new in all aspects, Spiritual, Mental, Physical and emotional change. Thank you Beckie, you were so brave and Beautiful...B@
She was incredibly resistant at first, but I think she settled into the family well. She was really close to her adoptive family, including her 'Dad" Seti. She adheres to the dress code, learns skills, has heart-to-hearts with her 'sister', babysits the 2 year old, Susan, and even gets their ancestral name. She learned, which is what they were trying to do. Don't be too hard on her. I would likely have been very hesitant at first. Not everyone on these shows is capable of letting themselves completely go from the beginning.
I love your reply, and I honestly love this video and the way Becky grew during her stay. I've been reading through the comments, and it's really disgusting how people are reacting to her just because of the first maybe 10-15 minutes of the video. It truly displays how we as humans tend to look down on others disregarding the fact that we ourselves are capable of behaving the same way. Thank you so much for your comment, it really calmed me.
Eunice Galamue I agree with you. People don't seem to understand that the premise of the show is to see the transformation and growth of a person experiencing another culture. I think Becky was very brave to leave everything she knew and obviously she was open to it even to take it on in the first place. It's easy to sit at your computer and make stupid hateful comments. At the end it is very touching and it is obvious that they all became very close.
I was hard on her in the beganning. But she changed. I believe the trip helped her. She seems to be am amazing loving person. I hope she fines closure with her father and continue the relationship with these people.
Dear Becky I can understand your pain of having a father and not a dad. However I am very proud of the woman that you have grown up to be. Wishing you only the very best in your life’s journey
Omg it made me so emotional seeing the villagers and the beautiful family Becky stayed me so emotional when she was leaving. Such a kind lovely family. God bless the villagers and the wonderful family Becky stayed me and I also wish Becky all the best.
I thought she did a beautiful job fitting in. She has a bit of a hard time at first but who wouldn't? I cried my eyes out at the end because there was a REAL bond between she and them. I would like to think maybe she would go back to visit from time to time..... she was for all intense and purpose, a daughter to them now. This one was actually one of my favourites.
I totally agree. I spent time with the military (United States) in Germany. My wife and I lived on the economy renting a place above the German landlord. We both learned the German culture. I was given the chance to go back and revisited with them and was greeted with open arms.
They concidered her as her part of family .. she doesnt look too impressed ..tipical big town princess ..she should stay there ..she makes them feel uncomfortable with her princess posture
They are so more intellegent in their more then her ..she s 31 and acting like baby .didnt she made her reseah about native peolple and their traditions ??? This people dont have " modern" knowlege internet where you can read about everything and anything ..and look just how BARBARA talking with her almost like psicologist ..i Barbara voice so soft motherly calming .she never got annoyed with this spoiled brat Bekky .. look how genuine they are : you will be always in my heart you are part of me .Bekky : yes let me know ifyou need anything ..lol tipical dry brit
The sad irony is that she refuses to fully assimilate into the culture out of arrogance and entitlement, yet if it was the opposite, they'd be treated far worse than they treated her.
seems you didnt watch till.the end, im native PNG and understood where she was coming from, she was sharing her frustrations, her initial.raw unfiltered honest.reactions not trying to.overtake or change their customs. at the end m she accepts it and dresses in.full attire bare breasted and is comfortable with it. u should know that first time u arrive in a new place with customs yr not used to you will have your doubts and frustrations, its only human..
She left with love in heart & soul. She left behind a new FAMILY who loved her so much she was given a NAME & wrote down on a family history. She left with tears because she loved them... as well as they loved her. I agree watch the whole movie!! 😓😟
My guess is that you didn't watch till the end. It's a story about learning new customs and conforming to the values of the people she learns to love and respect. The love is mutual and honest. She has genuine trauma from her own father. Seti is an example of a good dedicated man.
Becky you did very well in your blending with the people & environment.Wonderful experience as even watching made me experience what it is to leave ones space of highest comfort & technology to remote & serene place to stay for a month long. How u were able to not long for gadgets like phone, internet is still a puzzle I can't imagine not to talk of life's comfort like sleeping on a comfy bed to mat on bare floor with no electricity , I just can't imagine it but in total u are good in all the way u comport urself during ur stay, I just like & love u
Oh my God I would love to live there with these people. it looks so beautiful there and the people seem so sweet. I want to be there. I haven't ever seen a more beautiful place like this on video.

Beautiful precious humble people. God love and bless them. Something sweet and pure about what you don’t know what you’re missing out in the rest of the world
😢😭Although I knew that at the end they would have to part ways, It was heartbreaking for me to see them saying goodbye and crying at the end. Beautiful tribe & such an amazing culture and tradition. I mean taking in an outsider and basically making that person as your own family.. wow. wish the world would learn just a tiny bit about being more accepting of each other. Hope Becky doesn’t forget them.
Thanks for the documentary, and for Becky who tried to be herself in the situation, had she conformed we would rather have missed a great deal of the confusion we are in as humans. Lesson: We cherish love and demand individuality, on the other hand love demands sacrifices to those we are related to. Such communities are just like a coherent bee hive, if separated individuals can produce but would never be the same type of honey.
Becky was extremely beautiful inside and out......She coped very well , and her new found family was very kind and caring , think I shed a tear at the end with them.....
I loved this story. The love, support and nurture she received was amazing. This is what she needed to be free of the hurt and pain that she was going through emotionally. She went there to find answers and that’s exactly what she got. If only all could love and support as these people have. What a different world it would be.
@@cundie1 Why not? That would defeat the purpose of a follow up. Also, I didn't find anything wrong with Becky, either. Did she insist on having her way? Did she offend anybody there, and if so, how? Have you ever been to a new country for you, and if so, did you feel a bit out of place, because you were trying to make sure you did or said the right things to any new acquaintances? I didn't hear anything offensive coming from her. She may have felt a little awkward at times, but that's normal.
How wonderful to know there still are people or tribes in this world that are pure this shows we can all coexist if we respect each other I hope Becky truely found the peace she was searching for
I think this was a perfect experience for her and helped her become a better person. I'm personally very happy she went and was able to grow as a person. She definitely needed this experience.
I agree that she needed it. The family is so loving and beautiful. The western way, is not the only way to be in this world, and a simple life of family, friends, and community, is something that I think many people would benefit from, me included!
Out of all the episodes in these series, this one is my favorite. I would not mind at all to be one of them and be where they are. There's so much more simplicity of life there and it really is a paradise.

She had daddy problems (trust issues) and that's why her relationship with men was never a good experience. She thought there was something wrong with her and that's why she was always being rejected. In reality she didn't expect much from a man and felt they were never going to stick around long anyway. She got to have a special daddy who honored her and respected her. He gave her a special gift he had made himself. He could scold as well as lift her up. I know these people really loved her and it wasn't a love that people usually barter for. She learned to respect and accept them as she did them. It's hard for modern cultures to accept love from others due to past hurts and pain. I hope she has grown mentally and spiritually by this experience. They haven't been corrupted by society. They truly are lovely people. ❤🙏🕊
Well said!💖
Becky is a very beautiful, kind, sweet woman. I wish we've known each other. Could call her very fortunate to experience & embrace the unique culture of these tribal people. They are very loving, generous, kind, protective people & they live in a place called "paradise" which is so damn true. I live to work in the beautiful city of Port Moresby where all expatriates of different nationalities meet. This country is so rich in natural resources & you'll enjoy their coral seas, virgin islands & the warmth treatments of the locals are so genuine beyond compare. They are under British Colony & the Queen loves them. When I left the place I was also very nostalgic & broken hearted I could cry. Thanks a lot to my local employer (Morea Ray, Emily & family ) for the wonderful job you gave me & the sincere love so worth living for. I wish that one day we'll have the chance to see each other again
She's not the problem, those men in her life was, and that's their lost. A gorgeous, well educated, loving steady young woman like her is a gem!!! I just can't believe them leaving her!!! I just can't!
I have trust issues to...too scared to fall in love
@@alexanderbemar2637 ....find her and marry her or introduce her to a good man
This made me cry but how beautiful is this. It heals the soul and what it truly means to be a human being a core essence of it all. Deep stuff
What a strong and beautiful lady. Wish her all d very best as she starts a new life
She did really really good I couldn’t help but cry in the end ❤️❤️❤️❤️
This was an excellent documentary. I smiled and cried through the entire video!❤💚💜💙💛👍

if you want to live with them you have to respectfull ,,, you have to accept their rules . you have to live like them ...
I bet if her job told her to go to a meeting she would go no matter where it is or what it represents. You go to church, you listen to the service, you glean what you think is important and dang you go home. You don't insult your host and your boss would tell you to find another job...it is your priorities...you are trying to free those that don't need to be freed, they have the beliefs, so why should they change to yours. spoiled, spoiled...
It is nearly impossible to turn off ones own culture, like a light switch on a wall.
I thought she did just fine. With time she replaced what she knew with new ideas and values. Not an easy task, not by any measure. But with help, encouragement and time she was learning her new culhture and participating.
I thought she did very well!
U shade tears to my eyes, what a life from your world to come and feel the touch of our small Islands life style.
Becky you are an amazing person, I applaud your courage to enter a world of which you have no knowledge , their culture their traditions, to join in with their way of life and learn of their love they have regardless of who or what your beliefs are, they welcomed you into their family as part of their family. What wonderful people, if only the rest of world thought this way, what a wonderful world it would be, The loves that past you by, it's their loss, have no regrets. great video. thumbs up
Oh my how I wish I could do something like this. My stepfather was from Nigeria and I learned new foods, words, culture and so much more. We as people should always embrace different cultures and people I love to learn. Definitely teach it to my child.🤗🤗 I traveled to Germany all alone could not speak German of course and had the pleasure of meeting a nice Turkish gentleman that helped me to read and understand. Kind person to an African American girl and made sure I found my family. When others passed me by. People are awesome still.😘😎
I totally enjoyed this presentation! I would love, LOVE L O V E the opportunity to stay with such a tribe and get back to the Land. I'm a Country girl anyway! LOL! I feel the LOVE from them towards her. It's agape (unconditional) LOVE!
Kudos to her for being a maverick and an open minded person who stepped outside her comfort zone and shared her bold experience with us.
Completely agree.There is no shortage of naysayers on the comments for this video. Apparently she was rude, should never have left her country, and didn't adapt to their customs??? We must have been watching two completely different videos. I thought she did exceptionally well. There were a few hiccups in the beginning, but how is that not to expected? I would go beyond saying she did well. I think she kicked serious ass there. She did adapt, she tried to learn some of the language, she engaged and befriended people there, she took part in a lot of the activities, and she conquered some of her own demons. I'm really not sure how she could have done any better, bar staying and truly becoming a part of the tribe.
I spent many years on the road and in the bush in neighboring Indonesia (including Papua). They are seriously amazing people. And I was impressed with Becky.
Thank you for sharing this wonderful experience. You grew so much in a short time.. Food for thought
Their hair and skin is EVERYTHING!!! Such beautiful melanated sun-kissed skin!!!
one way to fight depression...thank you for the show
That was a most incredible video, even my heart is sad in the end. I hope they can reunite at some point. Very endearing. ❤
I’m from the Island and I greatly appreciate her bravery and she did very well.
Wow, good to know. Please say hi to the old man's family. Pass them my special regards for their hospitality. ❤
Seti's family was very gracious and welcoming. I would love to visit your island.
Nice family and ppl.would love to visit your Island me and my kids ❤🇳🇴
So where are you getting your internet service Weikai? Hmmm!
@@johnshirley8099 perhaps it may be possible that weikai is on the mainland? we do have internet in Papua New Guinea, most people usually use mobile data.
I think during ones live we could all do with this opportunity to experience another culture and abide by there ways, we could all feel better having by escaping our way of life for a short time, be at one and learn other people's beliefs and traditions, so so peaceful way of life compared to ours in the 21st century, I'm surprised this way of life exists today, beautiful documentary, beautiful person Becky, I hope you find real love and peace xxxxx Ray, Notts Uk 🇬🇧😘
End of this video start my tear comes out this people are very honestly that i saw i like your journey and sharing love with these good people
To watch their culture is relaxing and thankful of my life here in the US OF AMERICA, my eyes are teary to see her leave too, as tho i was there amongst them too god bless them AMEN.
It shows how people who have not a lot can actually turn out to be the happiest of humans and those with much materialistic things are actually more sad deep down.
First got to America, struggled a lot at school due to bullying. Couldn’t speak a word of English. Such a welcoming for a Westerner...
They are rich with a Godly understanding!
Black skin always show love to the humanity,,,
They've a lot, enough food dress nice on sunday what more do they need?
As the saying goes: Those who have Lil, Appreciate what they due have. But those that have Much, Abuse it.
Broke my heart to see the sister and father cry... Such a beautiful family.
Yes true
They are truly alive- allowing themselves experience all the range of emotions. Loving selflessly. Giving willingly.
The hardest part for the village people to experience is to say good buy to any loved one
leaving the village and the Island, coz of the fact that the person might not come back
Very nice, peaceful people. Great video! I sure hope she continued to visit them often, as a true family member. They love her so much. ❤️
Fantastic life story of Becky with the natives of Kotova, New Guinea. The characters including Becky are so genuine and very touching. Becky, besides being humble is so adorable and lovable in her natural beauty. Hope to see more stories like this. - AC bicolman from California, USA
Verna Bobo: Thanks Verna for the nice comment. We share a common appreciation of humanity.
Loved these ppl and Becky. Made me cry for their love shared!!!
Becky well done, you made it through in the end. Beautiful and amazing people!
Oh what a loving and caring people. They loved her with everything they had even though she was a bit disrespectful to their culture. The end really made me cry. I really hope she went back to at least help them with some medical needs. Much love from me❤️
What a special and beautiful experience. Even with the strangeness that Becky first experienced it became very clear how a great deal of love and respect developed between them. They really became family with a life long tie that will never be broken. I am so impressed by these beautiful people and their love and respect for each other.
Agutoki sugu Becky (Thank you friend Becky) for going & living with my fellow islanders.. God bless you from Papua New Guinea.
She seemed kind of pretentious and self-absorbed in the beginning, but the love of these people brought her down to earth. I hope she left truly understanding what she meant to them, and I hope so, so dearly that she kept in touch and will return to visit them.
Did she subsequently visit them? 250622
I am from PNG, but another part of the Country. Kitava is an island in the Trobriand Group, Milne Bay Province of PNG. These people are very friendly as displayed in the video. The nature and character of these people are for real. I hope Becky had not come to Kitava just to satisfy her whims and inadequacies in her modern English society. She can only be real if can reciprocate by keeping in touch with these people, and maybe revisit them again.
Her attitude and overreaction over culture and beliefs of others hurt me...people are so lovely and kind to her which she doesn't deserve.
I would live here forever so lovely n so kind...n happy
Yes, I purchase gold with hallmark from PNG only😆
How can I help them?
@@gayanngodfrey2824 they don't appear to need help. What kind of help specifically do u think they need?
Barbara has such a genuine gentleness and sweetness.
Such a beautiful and uplifting story to watch. Well done Becky.....I wish you all the best and know that it has changed your life for the better..."Going back to basics" is the recipe for wholesomeness and for finding the essence of who you truly are.
I'd like to thank everyone for the complements on your comments.. I was born and raised on that Island...seeing your positive comments made me super humble to say thanks again to Becky and the crew for visiting our beautiful island of Kitava..
She then began to embrace their culture and be one of them. Shows her respect and even speaks their language.
.she is just so so sweet...a teary ending though...
Becky, thank you for uploading this great adventure story you have made to my country. The island you have visited could be one of the Islands of Love as it is locally known since it is associated with yam harvesting seasons and sexual festivities. This unique culture certainly attracts both national and international tourists.
Wooow what a lovely tribe I would go there if I had money.
We all have a tendency to hold on to somethings just to be in control what we can, the broken relationship with her Father could have brought about a resistance to other things, to understand some people's pain we must walk in their shoes.! That was a beautiful documentary, it just shows we need people even if they have different cultures!
Barbara is sooo pure and lovely, pure genuine love. When live is simple it's just therapeutic, we have lost that and hence out depression. Also, genuine love drives out fear. That's why she is now happier after this experience. Blessings to them
The end was so heartbreaking,we learn from each other,Peace too the stressful.
When I turned 16 I was trapped with my abuser and my life was in shambles. I got a job and tried saving money, I planned to pack a backpack and buy a ticket out of Philadelphia, to any city. I wanted to leave and find myself on an island like this❤️ but my abuser introduced me to heroin and got me pregnant. I ended up staying with family and raising my daughter until I went on my own with her. I never made it out of Philadelphia. Life isn’t want I accepted but that daughter is now 16, and I had 3 other children, own my home and in a healthy relationship. But I wonder how my life would have been if I made it to some beautiful island with beautiful people. Sorry for the story.
There are some many beautiful places. Try some islands that still lives organic lifestyle.
Wow..i wasn't expecting the end to hit.me like.that😢😢😢😔😔
Beautiful people 😍😍😍they seem so easy going....aww I wanna go there
I’m happy in the end she eventually adopt to their way of life , who else cry when everyone started crying ? These ppl have so much love to give especially to a stranger to their family , wow that was beautiful 😍😍😍😍
Hi, This beautiful documentary truly shows how we can adjust and adapt to a totally new culture and environment. Knowing that what ever circumstances and challenges we encounter can change our beliefs and past experiences and make us totally new in all aspects, Spiritual, Mental, Physical and emotional change. Thank you Beckie, you were so brave and Beautiful...B@
I really hoped she returned and visit them and bring medical supplies 🙏🏾
Nadou love, I agree with you .... I hope Susan's illness awakened a sense of responsibility in Becky... They need medical supplies badly.
She was incredibly resistant at first, but I think she settled into the family well. She was really close to her adoptive family, including her 'Dad" Seti. She adheres to the dress code, learns skills, has heart-to-hearts with her 'sister', babysits the 2 year old, Susan, and even gets their ancestral name. She learned, which is what they were trying to do. Don't be too hard on her. I would likely have been very hesitant at first. Not everyone on these shows is capable of letting themselves completely go from the beginning.
I love your reply, and I honestly love this video and the way Becky grew during her stay. I've been reading through the comments, and it's really disgusting how people are reacting to her just because of the first maybe 10-15 minutes of the video. It truly displays how we as humans tend to look down on others disregarding the fact that we ourselves are capable of behaving the same way. Thank you so much for your comment, it really calmed me.
Eunice Galamue I agree with you. People don't seem to understand that the premise of the show is to see the transformation and growth of a person experiencing another culture. I think Becky was very brave to leave everything she knew and obviously she was open to it even to take it on in the first place. It's easy to sit at your computer and make stupid hateful comments. At the end it is very touching and it is obvious that they all became very close.
Stephanie Hartsock o
I was hard on her in the beganning. But she changed. I believe the trip helped her. She seems to be am amazing loving person. I hope she fines closure with her father and continue the relationship with these people.
She's one of those who left home without leaving home.
Dear Becky I can understand your pain of having a father and not a dad. However I am very proud of the woman that you have grown up to be. Wishing you only the very best in your life’s journey
Omg it made me so emotional seeing the villagers and the beautiful family Becky stayed me so emotional when she was leaving. Such a kind lovely family. God bless the villagers and the wonderful family Becky stayed me and I also wish Becky all the best.
I thought she did a beautiful job fitting in. She has a bit of a hard time at first but who wouldn't? I cried my eyes out at the end because there was a REAL bond between she and them. I would like to think maybe she would go back to visit from time to time..... she was for all intense and purpose, a daughter to them now. This one was actually one of my favourites.
Yes I agree
I agree
I totally agree. I spent time with the military (United States) in Germany. My wife and I lived on the economy renting a place above the German landlord. We both learned the German culture. I was given the chance to go back and revisited with them and was greeted with open arms.

Becky is a brat!!! they are being soooo nice to her and loving ppl
They concidered her as her part of family .. she doesnt look too impressed ..tipical big town princess ..she should stay there ..she makes them feel uncomfortable with her princess posture
They are so more intellegent in their more then her ..she s 31 and acting like baby .didnt she made her reseah about native peolple and their traditions ??? This people dont have " modern" knowlege internet where you can read about everything and anything ..and look just how BARBARA talking with her almost like psicologist ..i Barbara voice so soft motherly calming .she never got annoyed with this spoiled brat Bekky .. look how genuine they are : you will be always in my heart you are part of me .Bekky : yes let me know ifyou need anything ..lol tipical dry brit
White privilege
@@irla2543 "
Poor Becky, she tried her best too to fit in
The sad irony is that she refuses to fully assimilate into the culture out of arrogance and entitlement, yet if it was the opposite, they'd be treated far worse than they treated her.
seems you didnt watch till.the end, im native PNG and understood where she was coming from, she was sharing her frustrations, her initial.raw unfiltered honest.reactions not trying to.overtake or change their customs.
at the end m she accepts it and dresses in.full attire bare breasted and is comfortable with it.
u should know that first time u arrive in a new place with customs yr not used to you will have your doubts and frustrations, its only human..
Why are you being so mean? Because you didn't get to see her breasts?
She has every right to be modest.
She left with love in heart & soul. She left behind a new FAMILY who loved her so much she was given a NAME & wrote down on a family history.
She left with tears because she loved them... as well as they loved her. I agree watch the whole movie!! 😓😟
My guess is that you didn't watch till the end. It's a story about learning new customs and conforming to the values of the people she learns to love and respect. The love is mutual and honest. She has genuine trauma from her own father. Seti is an example of a good dedicated man.
Becky you did very well in your blending with the people & environment.Wonderful experience as even watching made me experience what it is to leave ones space of highest comfort & technology to remote & serene place to stay for a month long. How u were able to not long for gadgets like phone, internet is still a puzzle I can't imagine not to talk of life's comfort like sleeping on a comfy bed to mat on bare floor with no electricity , I just can't imagine it but in total u are good in all the way u comport urself during ur stay, I just like & love u
Oh my God I would love to live there with these people. it looks so beautiful there and the people seem so sweet. I want to be there. I haven't ever seen a more beautiful place like this on video.
Oh my goodness i love these documentaries❤ Very eye opening

If I were her I would so go back to visit them, they seem to love her so much :)
she didnt seem to love them as much as they loved her though...she played them.
@@runthomas maybe reason why all her Xs left her.
@@runthomas don't be so judgemental! We don'y know her in person
Don't be nasty. Maybe she has issues that this experience will help her get over. May we all be so lucky.
lol dumbass my friend
Beautiful precious humble people. God love and bless them. Something sweet and pure about what you don’t know what you’re missing out in the rest of the world
first time i really love this tribe look so genuine and peaceful place ,,clean sorroundings
😢😭Although I knew that at the end they would have to part ways, It was heartbreaking for me to see them saying goodbye and crying at the end. Beautiful tribe & such an amazing culture and tradition. I mean taking in an outsider and basically making that person as your own family.. wow. wish the world would learn just a tiny bit about being more accepting of each other. Hope Becky doesn’t forget them.
Thanks for the documentary, and for Becky who tried to be herself in the situation, had she conformed we would rather have missed a great deal of the confusion we are in as humans.
Lesson: We cherish love and demand individuality, on the other hand love demands sacrifices to those we are related to. Such communities are just like a coherent bee hive, if separated individuals can produce but would never be the same type of honey.
Really dont understand why would anyone dislike Becky, enjoyed every second of this episode
Becky was extremely beautiful inside and out......She coped very well , and her new found family was very kind and caring , think I shed a tear at the end with them.....
I loved this story. The love, support and nurture she received was amazing. This is what she needed to be free of the hurt and pain that she was going through emotionally. She went there to find answers and that’s exactly what she got. If only all could love and support as these people have. What a different world it would be.
I love the way they talk. So gentle and humble. I could listen to the women talk all day and just chill
This is really emotional! It reminds me of my village back in Fiji.
Islanders are always loving and caring. Love u all my Kitava roses. All the way to the other side of PNG 🌺🌺🌺🌺
This is really great. Loving people with warm arms and smiles 😁😁😁
🥰 ❤️ 🌺
Much love to you!

Who else think they should do a follow up video of what is happening in their lives or what they are doing presently
YES,,,But not with Becky this time
Absurd with Becky.
Me Elma😍
That's their life. U there un their way being noise .
@@cundie1 Why not? That would defeat the purpose of a follow up. Also, I didn't find anything wrong with Becky, either. Did she insist on having her way? Did she offend anybody there, and if so, how? Have you ever been to a new country for you, and if so, did you feel a bit out of place, because you were trying to make sure you did or said the right things to any new acquaintances? I didn't hear anything offensive coming from her. She may have felt a little awkward at times, but that's normal.
How wonderful to know there still are people or tribes in this world that are pure this shows we can all coexist if we respect each other I hope Becky truely found the peace she was searching for
From Papua New Guinea, thanks for visiting my country
