I wonder how uncontacted tribes incorporate changes of the night sky into their worldview. Imagine: suddenly, during the course of a single generation, moving lights pop up, flying across the night sky in straight lines. It's apparent that they aren't shooting stars, and they aren't regular stars either. Some move slow. Some move fast. They seem to multiply, as more of them appear year over year. What are they, and why did they appear?
Probably the same way cows do.... look at those weird shiny birds.
No doubt such signifiers would be seen as messages from a higher power. Interpreted as 'god(s)'.
There again seeing such phenomenon they could be seen as evil. Perhaps interpretations are tribe specific. Those who use psychadelics perhaps award a deeper meaning. Those who don't a more superficial one.
Interesting question with a miriad of answers. As many answers as there are tribes.
Interesting thought!
Maybe destruction is coming.. Or ayahuasca will explain it.
they believe in aliens.
I wanna say something positive like the beauty of the world but unfortunately, those are probably fires of destruction from those that remove them from their forest homes to build buildings. Still happens in my country. There's a good book by Carl Hoffman called 'The last wild men of Borneo' on the Penan tribe - nomads
Demon fairy spirits or something
There are likely no truly uncontacted tribes left. There are some that choose to remain as they are, but they’ve been contacted at some point, and now know enough to know that anything strange they see is caused by us. Some maintain regular contact by way of tribe members travelling to cities and learning whatever they learn. So a lot of them probably know about airplanes.
These days most of them are more akin to mennonites and Amish, with one huge exception being the tribe out in the Maldives somewhere (the one that attacks on sight).
Thank you for making me think thoughts that I have never thought before. So refreshing! I would love to know how they incorporate these new occurences into their lore that is passed down.
Search cargo cult of Vanuatu. I imagine they may have roundabout similar thought's
Likely generates inspiring firepit philosophical conversations, in their unique own way. Wonderful secrets in this world 🙏
