A trip an influencer reaps criticism because it is considered to exploit remote tribes in
Papua
, what is called the “cannibal tribe” in order to increase its popularity.
Influencer named Dara Tah uploaded a video entitled
Just tried to make contact with a Cannibal Tribe
In Tiktok, which has been watched more than 26.5 million times.
The video shows tah sailing along the river in Papua, part of Indonesia from New Guinea Island.In the video, it is seen that the native residents stand on the riverbank, one of which directs the bow and arrows at the boat.
As a form of peace, this tiktoker offers a bag of salt, but local residents, who wear leaf cawat, vomit with an expression of dislike.
“He doesn’t seem to like it. Honestly, this is really scary,” said Tah in the video, as reported by
Stuff
.
The audience accused Tah to exploit the tribe to gain popularity on social media.”Leave them, they don’t bother you,” wrote a Tiktok user warned.
“Are you just disturbing their territory for the sake of content and calling them scary?”write another user.
There are also those who suspect that the video is engineered, stating, “Papua’s remote population of New Guinea who lives in the isolated rural community is no longer dressed like this.”
Another audience protested the assumption that the tribe was a cannibal.”They are not cannibals, they are only people who live peacefully,” he wrote.

According to
Survival International
, Papua is home to around 300 tribes.Some tribes in Papua do have a history of cannibalism practices, but this tradition has been lost from the island since the middle of the 20th century, according to
Smithsonian Magazine
.
Tah, who has 750,000 followers on social media, ended the video by saying that he would try to get back to the tribe tomorrow.
The content often displays dangerous actions, such as not sleeping for 48 hours or undergoing Chinese water torture for 12 hours.
