The Hza, the most primitive

tribe

living on Earth,

hunt

ing their food with bows and arrows, just as our ancestors did thousands of

years

ago in the depths of the wild savannah, where uncertainty awaits behind every bush they chase. Rock hxis antelopes and baboos live in the hza

tribe

. life in its rawest form they drink muddy water they eat honey with larvae and sometimes even come across animal waste for the next 3 days I will be part of their tribe and witness their way of life the hza tribe has been living near the lake aasi in northern Tanzania for more than 50,000

years

and only made its first contact with the modern world about 150 years ago.

They speak Hadan, a unique language with clicks. The members took us to their boss. Hunting skills are evident in the leather and furs they wear. What is this in your head the salt in the tears burns the open wound and the baby learns not to cry when feeling the pain here a group of young people are making and repairing their equipment for the next

hunt

it is a skill passed down from generation to generation C what happened there they personalize their arrows with unique patterns if someone's arrow is lost and found that's how they know who it belongs to it also tells who the target shouts on their B they have these unique patterns some parts of the animal that these tals chased These hunters are talented and experienced.

They also use birth feathers to keep the arrows stable during flight. To make arrows, they first take a piece of wood and carefully shave it. It should be as light and straight as possible. They are always monitoring progress and using their teeth to fix any curves that may appear. animal, are you afraid of the me we have gathered before dawn? Sakura is screaming to wake up the other hunters. Please note that some scenes you are about to see may be sensitive. We ask you to observe the culture and lifestyle of the hza tribe with respect and an open mind our journey into the wild begins once everyone is ready divided into different groups they have chances to hunt the tri is preparing let's see what It will happen once the sun rises, we are going to enter the wild with sakuro leading the way we have about 10 hunting dogs with us on alert The hunters are carrying knives bows poisoned and non-poisoned arrows saku pointed in this direction we are separating now look over there so we will follow this group one of our team is Following Sakura and the dogs during the hunt, we will separate into groups from time to time in this vast terrain.

Dogs are our eyes and ears, they spread out and search a wide area. This strategy allows the dogs and us to cover more ground and increases our chances of detecting animals. This is how they drink water. They use this body. First they love and then they drink. Their immune system is strong enough to deal with bacteria and parasites. It doesn't matter if it's clean or not the dog starts running. There's something there, he runs, he's going to put the long stick inside that hole. You are trying to move the animal to get it out. The previous stick was not long enough.

Oh, this is Mak. The long dog is trying to dig a bigger hole to make it easier to grab. animal what oh oh my goodness they are giving up time it is precious it is time to move on the hza are nomadic people and they do not store food nor do they engage in agriculture they depend completely on hunting and gathering they are banding together to catch the squirrel a hunter shakes the tree to confuse the animal and make it run towards the other hunter they have it this is the first hour today he put his inside his belt he is looking for his arrow now each arrow is so valuable to them that it takes a long time to create one , the dogs are carrying Sakura to the place, they are filling the openings with grass to prevent the animal from escaping, we think that we are changing our route because we cannot pass the river ahead, it is finally time to rest.

It's been 4 hours that we've been walking if you look at this tree these things always catch us they're sharp and they tear off our clothes the name is ACAA sakuro watch the other hunters below the dogs catch this Rock H Rax but they ate half of it Now Sakura is Slide across rocks to move downhill. Her thorns prick his legs. She is cutting the branches to clear the way for her. Meanwhile, the boy pushes her body towards the space between the rocks. She disappears completely. The boy who entered this rock. been circling the entire area back and forth, he and the dogs are searching for prey from him in a fairly small space, they shot another stone.

H Rax, under this rock, they saw something else there. I think the dogs have already figured it out. trying to get it out is a food that is ready but unreachable, but the one in the nest has been trapped the animal is still alive it is trying to finish its path that is a bad way to do it, this is the third rock hyrax in solo 50 years ago, the hza lost 90% of their land to neighboring tribes, felled trees and drove away wildlife for crops and livestock, so they used to live to the end. I mean, throughout this area, the decline in animal population has made hunting and survival more important. difficult for them their way of life is at risk look at this he makes a fire in less than a minute by just turning the arrow quickly between his palms now they take a break to consume a type of plant since they believe it improves their vision and up The chances of hunting even walking on this terrain is a challenge.

I got St again take it off clockwise put it on the other one this way this way the other side up the boy is searching through the mongooses he is checking every space he can reach don't judge that's how they live that's it how our ancestors

survive

d it was a very exhausting hunt we walked 30 6,000 steps in just 7 hours while tracking animals in the mountains it says that baboons prefer meat from the bottom and where do dogs wait patiently to get some pieces of the leftovers They begin to eat the hunted animal by its claws. They do not waste any part.

They consume the meat along with the soft bones. You can hear the pops and crunches with each bite they take. Let's eat this part. It is an honor for me that the people of hza share their hunt with me. , which they achieved with a lot of effort, but for those who really want to learn what rock hyrax meat is like, it is honestly quite rubbery, they dedicate their free time to making new arrows to replace the ones they have lost during the hunt with each Hoda tribe Consisting of about 30 people, the average life expectancy is about 32 years, it is actually due to the high infant mortality rate, usually a hza woman gives birth to four children, but only one or two of them can The honey that survives is their liquid gold full of energy and vital nutrients to keep them strong in the wild.

It is the most consumed food in the tribe. We are near a tree B. You see a hole inside that tree, up there is where the honey is. They are going to need to cut a piece of wood to hold it, they use it as a climbing strap, there are like thousands of bees inside this tree, on one side, another hunter is preparing a fire to make a smoking stick, he is checking if these sticks are strong enough to to carry a person's body now he puts the smoking stick in the hive to calm the bees for a short time this loud buzzing sound comes from thousands of bees they still sting him numerous times but he endures the pain to get to the honey he must hurry because the bees will come out of the hive and we don't want them to chase us ah, there is very little honey in it, it is mainly wax and there is something inside, let me show you the hza, honey is not only food, but also its currency, they exchange it for tools sharp metallic objects, glass beads, tires, shoes and corn flour.

They do not use money or even a numerical system developed for counting in Hadan. One and two are the only numbers, even today, that they don't keep track of. Time clocks and calendars have no place here, they have no time based events such as birthdays or religious holidays, do you know how old you are today? Some of them have learned the official Tanzanian language and borrowed numbers, but most still cannot count. up to 10 to express numbers Beyond five like eight in this case you need to combine them if I asked you 70 what would you say they use general terms to express larger quantities since they are too abstract for them do they always have that baboon hunt? in their minds a big hello after sleeping for a couple of hours we are preparing for a bigger hunt at 4:00 a.m. of the second day this is our second day in the camp and we will go searching for antelope and baboons while tracking animals, one member of the team will stay here and record life in the camp, the men who are not going hunting today are repairing their tools, They ran out of poison, so first this young man and this old man are walking a long way to get a bucket of water. with their daily tasks they remain attentive, taking advantage of any opportunity to hunt something for today's meal after several failed attempts find a large snail on the way back to camp you see those mountains they say there are many young hyenas there They don't really like the taste of snails and offered them to the elders in the past, when a member of the tribe grew old, the young men would hunt a large animal for them and offer them its meat as a final feast before abandoning the elders to starve until the end. final.

They take care of the old members and share their hunts. This bow belongs to the desert rose bush that has the game-changing ingredient for hodza hunters when fighting big catches. They start by cutting the bow into small pieces and placing them all in a pan with cold water. Pour over the pieces and let the mixture boil. Strip leaves to remove the foam from the surface. After removing the pieces, let it boil over low heat until it thickens. With one last movement, transfer the essence to a rock and add a splash of water, finally add a little ash and mix it by crushing it with a stone and there you have it, a black, sticky and poisonous paste, carefully cover the tip of the arrow with it, now this arrow is ready for action , rubs his hands on the grass to clean the poison while the men search for meat and honey the women gather fruits, vegetables and greens right now they dig up roots and tubers using sticks to dig they are like nature's nutrient storage units here found a wild potato that lives almost isolated hza women do not feel comfortable being filmed by strangers look pig here another scratch on this tree they heard a rustle and now they stop to find out where the sound is coming from they are going to check if there is something to investigate or edit They don't talk at all because of the rain animals.

They hide in their tunnels or shelters. You can see the nest of a very small animal called bush baby. They are throwing stones at the tree to move the animal from where it is hiding. It's time to run, miss. there's no shortage of them here oh they're having fun the animal has nowhere else to go look look at another the child has seen another bush baby nest hides inside after the second attempt it can no longer move now a path is being cleared to climb the tree that the boy has started to climb up to the bush baby's nest he is getting closer and grabbed him by the tail the bush baby's eyes are full of worry and he clings tightly to his nest trying to protect himself but there is no chance left for him the little one still alive ended his life this The animal is called Bush Baby, they are mostly active at night.

We have them while they sleep in our heads. Oh, they got it from the ice. He went from here and left there. Look at the animal's hands. They are related to monkeys. Meanwhile, at the camp, two young men are hunting. He whistles exactly like the bird to trick it so close, but so far he missed 10, but on the third try he got one right in the sky. 10 What happened to this dog he has? a lot of scratches, yes, since it stopped raining, the animals can now come out of their shelters and the hatza are ready to catch them, it's good, it's good, the very beautiful bird dogs seem so confident that there is definitely something, although they are often Loyal dogs sometimes act faster. that the hunters hza and hunt themselves, he is trying to catch the bird with his hand oh sakuro and the other hunters are exhausted now taking a break from hunting, we head back to the camp, when was the last time you ate?

What do you think about death? Where do you think he will go when he dies? The youngsters are still learning how to shoot an arrow and this is their class schedule. How nice what their dreams are, sometimes it's understanding the question you ask them to talk about it. future yes, they have no concept of early future again we are on the third day with the hza tribe while we were sleeping a group that had gone out hunting at night has just returned they have an antelope called dick dick while we are approaching the baboons the Those who stayed in the camp have begun to build a cabin.

Right now, two men are heading to the mountains to collect branches and leaves.suitable. Bons are intelligent animals that keep moving when they sense something they don't perceive. Like human contact, we have to keep up. Come on, they went to ask if they saw any baboons around. We are smart, but so they can feel that we are getting closer, we will continue to look for them. That means we have to get up. our strategy is about being one step ahead those who are in the camp are now whistling to communicate with their friends who have gone to look for honey in the morning and want to join in and eat wild honey now they are enjoying the sweet, what hello now that all the materials are ready, it's time to lay the foundations of the cabin.

They start by bending and weaving the branches to create bars and to make it durable, they wrap additional branches around it. This cage-like structure forms the main part and then surrounds the base. with a wild aloe vera plant and cover the top with leaves and grass for the finishing touches, add some white flowers and there it is, in a few hours, a new house ready to give to this young father and his family. baboons lift those tree Bs So they're checking each and every tree, but our main goal is to get to those rocks. They say baboons live there.

As we walk along the trail we see a group of rock hyraxes hiding in the rocks below, they got all five rocks. Tall axes, now it's time to move on for the baboons, they are greedily eating a stomach full of an almost ugly mixture of half digested food and stomach acids, so they say they checked all the areas and couldn't find any baboons, but we will try our L during the night the baboons can learn from past experiences by avoiding places where they have faced threats they seem to be abandoned here the hza are adapting their strategy they will chase the baboons in another part of the region tonight both predators and prey are Constantly learning and adjusting it's like hide and seek, but in a wild setting we're now hunting baboons it's getting darker some of the tribe members spotted where they live they're in a tree we'll be extra extra extra quiet baboons are not nocturnal animals, They are active in the morning and at night they sleep in the trees where they are protected from predators, mainly leopards, hyenas and humans, we will increase the camera's eyes and we will be able to see with noise.

I can't see an inch in front of me. We have to stay close to the hunters I don't want them to accidentally shoot me with a poison arrow we go deeper into the baboon habitat I feel like disturbing the divorce what was that sound? A kind of bush baby but a big one, a bigger one, baboons live in large groups known as troops, while caring for each other, alerting the group to potential dangers, and defending themselves collectively against threats. seen one, saw one, okay, they say they've seen one there, we have to move, they're here, baboons are extremely agile. and they can move quickly both on the ground and in the trees they are trying to decide which path to take, be careful, it is a slave, we are walking along the bank of the stream and there is a steep slope below, it is so narrow even for just one. person passing 1 hour and a half has passed they have not seen any bubbles they are looking everywhere last night's photo session does not offer a capture of a successful hunt after 3 days of hard tracking and chasing The hotza hunters returned home with the empty hands and without a baboon for his family;

However, during the editing process we discovered that a single frame reveals that a baboon was fleeing by jumping from branch to branch when the lights went out, they were aware of the physical limitations of humans and waited patiently for the lights to go out to silently flee. in the dark. This unexpected twist shows that survival doesn't always favor the strong or smart. It's about being the most adaptable. We have reached the end of the hunt. We did not succeed. Animals probably hurt us. The Hotza people live this world as we did thousands of years ago. One of the biggest threats to this community is, of course, modernization and the loss of this unique human culture.

They are like a window to the past. They are the last of our first story. At the beginning of last month, my YouTube channel was hijacked and all my videos were removed from my YouTube channel by hackers, labor thieves. 12 years of my work disappeared. This sudden act caused my monthly earnings to drop to zero with just one click. finally saved all the videos from our backup files, however, the algorithm no longer favors our recovered videos, as a result, the number of views we get from these videos has decreased significantly, causing us to lose our passive income due to this our expected financial loss in its entirety. this year is at least $75,000 and we cannot afford to fall that far behind.

We strive to increase the quality of our documentaries in every video we make and try to broadcast in 14 different languages, but in this economic equation we are struggling to make our documentaries available around the world to face the challenges of filming in remote and often hostile environments adds another layer of complexity to our endowment so that you can see this documentary about hatza. A team of 314 people contributed their efforts, including 278 voice actors and 28 translators from 14 countries. different countries along with eight other team members working on field work and post-production, it took us 3 months to finish this entire project.

If you found any value in our documentaries and if you want us to be able to continue producing these documentaries, we need you. now to click on the super thank you button below this video, after clicking you will see options how much you can donate or you can write a certain amount as you wish. This is the first time I have requested one-time support from This crisis we are experiencing right now represents an existential risk for the documentaries we are trying to produce. Every donation from viewers like you helps us continue to grow and create content that inspires and educates.

We have amazing projects this year, for example, we plan to visit. the kber cave with a scientific community the deepest cave in the world which is a region that has never been documented and extends 16 km underground there is a great possibility that we will discover there some new animal species that have never been discovered before. I will also be featuring a world of credit including their names in the community section of my YouTube channel as my way of thanking them and recognizing their contributions before the hack. Our channel was doing very well. We were about to go global, but this sudden change immediately disrupted us.

They are out of competition now only together we can continue to exist thank you for your sincere donations our channel I hope it uploads again RI chanet was here
