00:00:00,00 --> 00:00:04,800
Hello, Welcome back to my channel tamil trekker. 
Today,

2
00:00:04,900 --> 00:00:10,200
We are visting a tribe called tibet who live 
in mountains.

3
00:00:10,300 --> 00:00:15,100
We saw about karamojong tribe in the last 
video,

4
00:00:15,200 --> 00:00:20,000
We'll take a walk through the mountains and 
look at the tribe people.

5
00:00:20,100 --> 00:00:24,900
We'll see everything. There are a lot of 
people here. We'll see about their culture 
and practises.

6
00:00:25,000 --> 00:00:29,800
I am going with Kalthunga tours. He is with 
me on this trip.

7
00:00:29,900 --> 00:00:34,700
His name is Yema.

8
00:00:34,800 --> 00:00:39,600
We are going to visit the tribes.

9
00:00:39,700 --> 00:00:44,500
They are one of the tribes in Uganda. They 
are believed to be living on the plains.

10
00:00:44,600 --> 00:00:49,400
and for us they are Karamojongs and they 
are migrants in Uganda.

11
00:00:49,500 --> 00:00:54,300
We migrated from Ethiopia.

12
00:00:54,400 --> 00:00:59,200
We have seen about Karamojongs earlier. He 
is one of them. Now we'll go up the hills 
and see how it is.

13
00:00:59,300 --> 00:01:04,100
We are just taking a walk. They say it will 
take two hours to reach the top

14
00:01:04,200 --> 00:01:09,000
and 2 hours to return back. That's fine. 
We'll see what experience we are gonna get.

15
00:01:09,100 --> 00:01:13,900
This is where we are going to go.

16
00:01:14,000 --> 00:01:18,800


17
00:01:18,900 --> 00:01:23,700
It is so windy here.

18
00:01:23,800 --> 00:01:28,600
I have come to their village. You can see 
a tree here.

19
00:01:28,700 --> 00:01:33,500
It is very significant to this place. If 
an old man is dying

20
00:01:33,600 --> 00:01:38,400
they tie him to this tree.

21
00:01:38,500 --> 00:01:43,300
In the olden days in our culture, they bury 
them it pots

22
00:01:43,400 --> 00:01:48,200
or burn them. Here they them onto this tree 
itseems.

23
00:01:48,300 --> 00:01:53,100
They just leave it like that. After the body 
decomposes and when only the skeleton remains,

24
00:01:53,200 --> 00:01:58,000
they remove it and keep it as a souvenir 
if they wish.

25
00:01:58,100 --> 00:02:02,900
If not they bury the skeleton under this 
tree.

26
00:02:03,000 --> 00:02:07,800
So, this tree is very important to these 
tribes.

27
00:02:07,900 --> 00:02:12,700
If anyone tries to cut these trees, it will 
become a great issue itseems.

28
00:02:12,800 --> 00:02:17,600
They consider it like a spirit. No one should 
cut it itseems.

29
00:02:17,700 --> 00:02:22,500
There are a lot of such trees here.

30
00:02:22,600 --> 00:02:27,400
No one should touch these trees.

31
00:02:27,500 --> 00:02:32,300
They believe that the spirit lives on these 
trees.

32
00:02:32,400 --> 00:02:37,200
That is their belief.

33
00:02:37,300 --> 00:02:42,100


34
00:02:42,200 --> 00:02:47,000
See, they are playing something called "Palangkuzhi" 
here too

35
00:02:47,100 --> 00:02:51,900


36
00:02:52,000 --> 00:02:56,800


37
00:02:56,900 --> 00:03:01,700


38
00:03:01,800 --> 00:03:06,600


39
00:03:06,700 --> 00:03:11,500


40
00:03:11,600 --> 00:03:16,400
Ask him whether he believes in Karma?

41
00:03:16,500 --> 00:03:21,300
He says No. Ask him whether he knows Edi 
Amin?

42
00:03:21,400 --> 00:03:26,200


43
00:03:26,300 --> 00:03:31,100
He doesn't know.

44
00:03:31,200 --> 00:03:36,000


45
00:03:36,100 --> 00:03:40,900
This is someone's house. These are bedrooms. 
Those are the houses of their brothers.

46
00:03:41,000 --> 00:03:45,800
There will be gaps between all the houses. 
It is because if someone comes

47
00:03:45,900 --> 00:03:50,700
and attack them at night, the other would 
know and wake up.

48
00:03:50,800 --> 00:03:55,600
That is why they have houses in distance.

49
00:03:55,700 --> 00:04:00,500
Just for safety and protection.

50
00:04:00,600 --> 00:04:05,400
That is the reason.

51
00:04:05,500 --> 00:04:10,300


52
00:04:10,400 --> 00:04:15,200


53
00:04:15,300 --> 00:04:20,100
They don't eat rice here, they consume sogum, 
the powdered version of ragi.

54
00:04:20,200 --> 00:04:25,000
They make it thick and wrap in green leaves

55
00:04:25,100 --> 00:04:29,900
and eat them. If you had seen my assam video

56
00:04:30,000 --> 00:04:34,800
you would know about the barter system. It 
is still prevalent here.

57
00:04:34,900 --> 00:04:39,700
The tribes use barter system with other tribes.

58
00:04:39,800 --> 00:04:44,600
They give goat or cow in exchange of other 
things.

59
00:04:44,700 --> 00:04:49,500
They don't use money here. They use it very 
rarely only when they visit shops.

60
00:04:49,600 --> 00:04:54,400
Every happens through commodity exchange.

61
00:04:54,500 --> 00:04:59,300
It happens daily here.

62
00:04:59,400 --> 00:05:04,200
In Assam, it happens only in a year but here 
the lifestyle is such.

63
00:05:04,300 --> 00:05:09,100


64
00:05:09,200 --> 00:05:14,000
these are completely hills, these people 
live and build their houses in the hills.

65
00:05:14,100 --> 00:05:18,900
They live in the hills only. That is why 
we have come here to see them.

66
00:05:19,000 --> 00:05:23,800
There is a village.

67
00:05:23,900 --> 00:05:28,700
we'll go and then by the side we'll go down 
from there.

68
00:05:28,800 --> 00:05:33,600


69
00:05:33,700 --> 00:05:38,500


70
00:05:38,600 --> 00:05:43,400


71
00:05:43,500 --> 00:05:48,300


72
00:05:48,400 --> 00:05:53,200


73
00:05:53,300 --> 00:05:58,100


74
00:05:58,200 --> 00:06:03,000


75
00:06:03,100 --> 00:06:07,900


76
00:06:08,000 --> 00:06:12,800


77
00:06:12,900 --> 00:06:17,700
They see themselves in the colour and get 
surprised.

78
00:06:17,800 --> 00:06:22,600


79
00:06:22,700 --> 00:06:27,500


80
00:06:27,600 --> 00:06:32,400


81
00:06:32,500 --> 00:06:37,300
This what they eat here. Green leaves. It's 
a kind of greens.

82
00:06:37,400 --> 00:06:42,200
In the northest of Uganda,

83
00:06:42,300 --> 00:06:47,100
in a place called moroto, among the higest 
of hills

84
00:06:47,200 --> 00:06:52,000
live a tribe called thibet. Like in the last 
video, as we saw about Karamojong,

85
00:06:52,100 --> 00:06:56,900
they have similar lifestyle. As we went by 
evening,

86
00:06:57,000 --> 00:07:01,800
some were making food, some chatting and 
all.

87
00:07:01,900 --> 00:07:06,700
They eat corn, ragi and other greens that 
are available on the mountains.

88
00:07:06,800 --> 00:07:11,600
They also do agriculture. The children and 
woman do the most work here.

89
00:07:11,700 --> 00:07:16,500
Be it agriculture, cooking, building homes, 
fetching water

90
00:07:16,600 --> 00:07:21,400
and everything is done by woman here. Men 
graze the cows

91
00:07:21,500 --> 00:07:26,300
The most strange thing is that they don't 
have mirror in any of their houses.

92
00:07:26,400 --> 00:07:31,200
They don't even use mobile phones. They haven't 
even looked at their face before.

93
00:07:31,300 --> 00:07:36,100
When I went with the camera, they saw their 
own faces and got very surprised.

94
00:07:36,200 --> 00:07:41,000
One of the man asked me whether it is him?

95
00:07:41,100 --> 00:07:45,900
I was so amazed by that. Whenever it rains 
heavy here,

96
00:07:46,000 --> 00:07:50,800
to prevent landslide, they have built their 
houses on the elevated areas.

97
00:07:50,900 --> 00:07:55,700
I couldn't see more as time wasn't enough. 
So I went to another place where these tribes 
live the next day.

98
00:07:55,800 --> 00:08:00,600


99
00:08:00,700 --> 00:08:05,500
Only then I realised more about their way 
of life.

100
00:08:05,600 --> 00:08:10,400
Following that I saw their native dance, 
their hunting routine

101
00:08:10,500 --> 00:08:15,300
and all.

102
00:08:15,400 --> 00:08:20,200


103
00:08:20,300 --> 00:08:25,100
This is the door of the house and they enter 
like this.

104
00:08:25,200 --> 00:08:30,000


105
00:08:30,100 --> 00:08:34,900
Can you not close it?

106
00:08:35,000 --> 00:08:39,800
This is how they get in here.

107
00:08:39,900 --> 00:08:44,700
They use the cow skin as the door.

108
00:08:44,800 --> 00:08:49,600
They close it just like that. That is all.

109
00:08:49,700 --> 00:08:54,500


110
00:08:54,600 --> 00:08:59,400


111
00:08:59,500 --> 00:09:04,300


112
00:09:04,400 --> 00:09:09,200


113
00:09:09,300 --> 00:09:14,100


114
00:09:14,200 --> 00:09:19,000
See how difficult it is for them to come 
out of the house.

115
00:09:19,100 --> 00:09:23,900
This is the way they are living.

116
00:09:24,000 --> 00:09:28,800


117
00:09:28,900 --> 00:09:33,700


118
00:09:33,800 --> 00:09:38,600


119
00:09:38,700 --> 00:09:43,500


120
00:09:43,600 --> 00:09:48,400


121
00:09:48,500 --> 00:09:53,300
Do elders sleep outside everyday? Sometimes.

122
00:09:53,400 --> 00:09:58,200
During day time they sleep outside.

123
00:09:58,300 --> 00:10:03,100
I saw a old man sleeping out so I asked the 
woman she told me they sleep out most of 
the time.

124
00:10:03,200 --> 00:10:08,000
I asked her what they'll do on rainy days?

125
00:10:08,100 --> 00:10:12,900
She told me they'll go in when rainy but 
most of the time they tend to sleep out itseems.

126
00:10:13,000 --> 00:10:17,800
This house is the tallest here. It is for 
young people to climb and get it.

127
00:10:17,900 --> 00:10:22,700
For old people, they live in less higher 
houses.

128
00:10:22,800 --> 00:10:27,600
You can see one there.

129
00:10:27,700 --> 00:10:32,500
Highest houses are for young people here.

130
00:10:32,600 --> 00:10:37,400
This one is for old people.

131
00:10:37,500 --> 00:10:42,300
This one for younger people.

132
00:10:42,400 --> 00:10:47,200
They are renovating you can see.

133
00:10:47,300 --> 00:10:52,100


134
00:10:52,200 --> 00:10:57,000


135
00:10:57,100 --> 00:11:01,900
This one is different.

136
00:11:02,000 --> 00:11:06,800


137
00:11:06,900 --> 00:11:11,700


138
00:11:11,800 --> 00:11:16,600


139
00:11:16,700 --> 00:11:21,500


140
00:11:21,600 --> 00:11:26,400
We are about to see their cultural dance 
now.

141
00:11:26,500 --> 00:11:31,300
Time is around 4.30 now.

142
00:11:31,400 --> 00:11:36,200
They have started dancing. We'll see it and 
leave from here.

143
00:11:36,300 --> 00:11:41,100


144
00:11:41,200 --> 00:11:46,000
Everyday morning and evening, they perform 
this dance.

145
00:11:46,100 --> 00:11:50,900
We came right on time to see this.

146
00:11:51,000 --> 00:11:55,800


147
00:11:55,900 --> 00:12:00,700


148
00:12:00,800 --> 00:12:05,600


149
00:12:05,700 --> 00:12:10,500


150
00:12:10,600 --> 00:12:15,400


151
00:12:15,500 --> 00:12:20,300


152
00:12:20,400 --> 00:14:10,900


153
00:14:11,000 --> 00:14:15,800


154
00:14:15,900 --> 00:14:20,700
If she wears more bangles, no man can commit 
adultery with her. She is a respected woman.

155
00:14:20,800 --> 00:14:25,600


156
00:14:25,700 --> 00:14:30,500


157
00:14:30,600 --> 00:14:35,400


158
00:14:35,500 --> 00:14:40,300
I have asked him to target the tree, we'll 
see.

159
00:14:40,400 --> 00:14:45,200


160
00:14:45,300 --> 00:14:50,100


161
00:14:50,200 --> 00:14:55,000
Let me try.

162
00:14:55,100 --> 00:14:59,900
It just fell here.

163
00:15:00,000 --> 00:15:04,800

00:15:04,900 --> 00:15:09,700
