@@imslumpedout335 Because it's not funny at all. Just because someone is deemed different, where's the humor in that? These tribes are sacred, "salt of the Earth" type of folk. It saddens me that there are less than a handful of tribes that haven't been exposed to modernization. Human beings in general are the most greedy and ignorant species on the planet. We have refused to realize that there isn't just one way to live. And there is absolutely nothing wrong with being "different".
Happiness is relative to a person's situation. If a professional basketball player whose entire life is basketball gets his leg amputated, guess what, he's going to be very upset even though there are plenty of happy paraplegics. If a single mother of two gets evicted from her house and is now homeless on the streets, she's going to feel depressed even though there are content families halfway across the world who have never lived in a modern home and live off less than $3 a day.
@Labrador7373- Yes I am assuming he is happy because he truly seems it, smiles a lot and speaks as I would assume a happy man speaks. Very little is known fact, most of life is reasonable assumptions.

pisse3000 There's no such thing as "Amerindians." This is because there is no such place as "Amerindia." It's Americans or American natives if you want to avoid confusion with United Staters.
Hope he managed to pass down his knowledge. The Penans love their rainforest, it is their home and their way of life. They find contentment living as nomads, they have done so for hundreds of years. New generations of Borneans are doing their best to remove corrupt governments that are selling off native customary rights lands and national parks as well as allowing illegal loggers the destroy the jungle. There are 3 countries that have 'jurisdiction' in Borneo which makes creating blanket policies for the whole island difficult ( Brunei, Malaysia and Indonesia). Many decades ago the use of the blowpipe was still very common among most of the tribes in Borneo. As a Kayan from the Apoh area (my parents are from Long Bedian and Long Bemang, respectively) we only have my great grandfathers' blowpipe as heirlooms. The practice started to die out when shotguns were introduced and there was a time the use was completely banned during the Japanese occupation during WWII. The Japanese feared the blowpipe and poison darts due to its stealthy nature.
@Primo One Mind One Goal Iron?? LMFAO, shotguns use, and always have used, soft metals like lead as their projectiles. Use of hard stuff like iron would ruin the barrels. City slicker.
Do you prefer hunting wild animals with a blowpipe that can instantly kill you while you load it? This, ladies and gentlemen, is the pinnacle of the “I was born in the wrong generation”
Listen to when he's talking about how long it takes for the darts. He says minute instead of his own language. Where he lives he has no concept of time, no measurement for it. It's just sunrise sunset. No wonder he's so happy. No meeting at 9 or bedtime at 11. Just wake with the sun and set with it.
But sadly last year this our late grandfather (Balan Kade) already pass away a fews month after his late wife pass away. It's was a great lost & our legends generation. Hopefully both of them soul rest in peace!.
