This tribes are very lucky they have bruce..I love watching this show..I am too a member of a tribe "Lubo" from kalinga at northern philippines and how i wish we could share also our rich cultures before they are being diminished by the modern world.The americans reach the moon but our tribe mates their living in the jungle have never been reach by the road.Our family moves to the lowlands(town) to educate us living their houses in the highlands..But until now the cultures and traditions of the Lubo tribe of the kalingas in northern philippines is still very rich..they have a lot of ceremonies and initiations, from birth to adulthood until the death of a certain person..Also with their dances and songs; such as courtship dance,warior dance,harvest dance etc..The men are heavily tattoed as symbol of bravery in a headhunting expeditions and the women as a symbol of their status in the community..Their are a lot of tribes in kalinga but they have also similarity in their practices..how i wish all our cultures will be recorded in such documentary..It is being threaten by the rapid development of roads and the presence of the missionary.I just love our tribe,eventhough i am educated i just don't want it to banished..many of our tribesmen are going now in the lowlands.e mail me to learn about the kalingas..natsm16@yahoo.com
