I’m glad that you cleared up the fact that you do not condone cannibalism, thank you for your transparency.
That's exactly what a cannibal would say
eat the rich
@@nillehessy The rich made the phone you are on. They provide good and services. Eat the poor. They consume more than they create

“Either way, he became a part of them” has to be the best and most poetic conclusion statement I’ve heard in a while.
Or don't go into the jungle without a gun
your not gunna believe this but he is alive and living with them
@@davidnguyen2476i heard this as well.
Rockefeller was a third rate missionary, but a first rate second course!

I was just about to commit cannibalism but since you said you don’t condone it, I couldn’t bring myself to do it. Thank you so much.
😳
I will still.... I don't care how many of you refuse to condone it.
Espera que-
Oh wished I paid more attention when he said he didn't condone it
I feel bad but full now
So you don't want any baby back ribs then?
Honestly big michael theory makes sense considering everytime people showed up to ask the natives about michael they just happened to hear some natives saying "oh don't tell them we ate him" and "well now that you ask yeah we ate him" like surely these dudes could lie better than that
The languages in new ginuea are very diverse so i bet they got it all wrong.
Or they were just trying to scare the travellers who came to the island. Kind of like how serial killers brag about random murders they never committed. In reality Michael probably just drowned somewhere on the way and these tribals heard from white people about him and just thought 'lets brag about killing him to scare these white people'
They weren't very intelligent lol
@@TheodoreHoesevelt Knowing not to audibly say "don't tell them X" right next to the person you're trying to lie about X to is common sense. You can't survive a life like these people have unless you have common sense.
@@degiguess They had common sense as far as survival. But social interactions maybe not.
Michael has to be the king of “wrong place, wrong time”. Imagine swimming 12 miles, making it to shore, only to be killed by an indigenous tribe who believes killing and consuming you would be vengeance for what the Dutch did to them 3 years prior. Plus 12 hours after you leave, the capsized boat was found and everyone else was saved. That has to be the worst timing in the history of ever.
That’s pretty bad. I’ll have to contend that with the soldier who was killed one minute before the end of WW1

Best part of the video
Yes! Cannibalism is equal to Artificial Intelligence. How? If A.I. doesn’t mass murder us humans, us humans ought to mass murder & eat other humans. I would love to capture a Rockefeller or a Soros child & eat them for lunch. Kidnap their offspring, have sex with them & take their body parts one quartering at a time. A dash of the finest cognac w/white trash wealth posh hands for the beckoning. Eating wealthy humans would be such a delicacy. They eat the finest of foods & consume the finest of spirits. Equivalent to eating veal before it’s maturity rate into adulthood. Splendid spleens of wealthy famous humans.
True.
Another Truth: Indigenous tribes are no more virtuous than the reverse racist narrative peddled by CRT, BLM, and virtue signalling progressives.
The concept of the savage indian certainly applues as well.
Now THAT is an Inconvenient Truth that should cause you virtur signalling, SJW to run and seek a safe space from reality.

I am glad you are the top comment!
Nah that was funny af
Hmm, getting eaten by cannibals or becoming a cannibal... that's a hard nut to crack.
I find the hardest part to believe is that he actually made it through that storm to the island alive. I think he was basically dead when he washed to shore, and as you said- wasteful, they were not.
I wonder if this is the same insane spin he would put on if the cannibal was someone of WHITE EUROPEAN DESCENT like ANY AMERICAN SERIAL KILLER/CANNIBAL.
I'M SURE THERE'S NO ANTI-EUROPEAN COLONIAL BIAS in the LITERAL POSITIVE SPIN ON CANNIBALISM HE PUTS.
Both Ted Bundy and Jeffrey Dahmer committed CANNIBALISM to have the bodies of the ones they destroyed with them and part of them forever for purely selfish reasons.
Why aren't THEY getting the good positive publicity for what THEY DID?
You're showing your RACISM if you say it's because they're WHITE and therefore should be beheld to a higher standard.
Just because cannibalism is not part of European culture doesn't mean it can't be part of a specific person of European descent's culture.

"No sir, I don't believe I've ever seen that young man in my life."

🤣😂 omg I just burst out laughing
God damn it this made me laugh so hard damn you.
Lol....I mean...can you believe this shit ???
I tasted him but never saw him bud.
Imagine swimming 12 miles to safety only to find out that the capsized boat in the ocean was actually the better option
Most of the times whenever disaster strikes to stay put is the better option. If you get lost, capsize or are injured.
That is more or less the process thought of the crew of the ship that inspired Moby Dick
"Alright lads there are islands very close to our position but I'm afraid they are packed full of cannibals (they weren't). anyways, were shooting for South America, that's it"
The straight where they capsized is an area known to be full of hungry sharks and crocodiles. To me, staying half in the water and half on the capsized boat would seem more dangerous than attempting the swim; atleast he had a chance to reason with the cannibals.
North Sentinel Island fits that description too. I don’t think the Sentinelese tribe are cannibals, but they won’t hesitate to end outsiders quite quickly, (which is pretty wise, in current year).
@@Jake.The.Snake. yea but considering if they stayed still on the boat they are less likely to attract the sharks and crocs, cause both are interested in splashing and will check it out to see if its an animal. so staying put and trying to move as little as possible wouldve been the safest

This is because the algorithm is surprising UA-cam creators in order to promote mainstream media channels 🤦🏻♀️
I just experienced the same thing!
Turns out there are at least three of us! 😂
I'm pretty sure both theories are true. If he was found by a tribe that was friendly with him from his time on the island and integrated with them for some time (long enough to have appeared on that film), he very well could have gotten involved in a tribal skirmish, been killed, and summarily eaten as was the custom
The part that doesn't make sense to me is why they would use his bones for spear heads if they viewed him as an enemy. I remember learning that they would mainly use cassowary bones, and when they did make bone spears and daggers they would use the bones of their father or a warrior from their tribe. The whole point of using human bones was to gain the power of the person who died.
@@grantlong6586 I’d assume since they viewed outsiders as “spirits” they would use his bones to gain the power of the spirits
im p sure it was a different tribe he came across, they all had the same customs but they werent rlly acquainted with the guy
I think "pretty sure" is a large stretch. These people were weary of white people and had issues communicating with them. I think it'd be strange for them to take one in under any circumstance at the time. Not to mention one blurry picture is the only evidence that points to him joining the tribe. The photo to me looks like an albino tribesman. I'm not going to say it's completely impossible, but the facts support him either dying in the storm, or being eaten by the cannibals.
Also if he truly did survive don't you think he'd make some effort to reach out to say he's alright, or at the very least try to get help to the boat he left in the water? He would've had plenty of opportunities to talk to the white people on the island throughout the remainder of his life.
In order to believe that he joined the tribe, you'd also have to believe: he survived the storm, was found by tribesmen, the tribesmen took him to their village, he was able to communicate with them atleast semi-fluently without an interpreter, gave no attempt to help the boat he left, was able to gain the tribe's trust, wanted to spend his life with them, avoided white men for the rest of his life, had no interest in letting his family/the world know he was alive, and also convinced anyone who knew about him in the tribe not to tell anyone. With how enamored the tribes are with legends/passing down history; I think it's unlikely that a white man making his way through the ranks wouldn't be passed down in legend, or atleast become a rumor. Especially if if he died a warrior's death like you assumed.
Idk man I'm a huge believer in Occom's razor and believing that with practically no evidence requires an insane amount of assumptions. Most of which aren't very likely to have happened at the time.
@@readein he would'nt make that effort you assumed about raching out, if he didn't wanted to come back, you think a family like that would let a son live the life he wants, in a tribe?

Haha be nice yeah
I love the idea of that lol. He loved it there so it’s nice to think maybe he just had them hide him until the searches calmed down and lived out his life there with them
there was no mention of the old mane being white, so I doubt it
@@dallasdean598 hence why I mentioned him being tanned, they could have assumed he was a native elder with paler skin than the others due to lack of sunlight when he was actually an older white guy who was very tanned.

I could see it. or maybe the theory is true that Rockefeller faked his death, gave up his life of privilege and decided to live among the Tribe and they were just covering for him. Pretty far fetched but who knows, lol.
I like to believe that the Tribe considered Michael to be SUCH a Bro that they volunteered to lie about his Death on his Behalf, because they liked hanging out with him SO much that they just wanted him to stay with them forever. 😢

I dropped everything when this video came up. I work at the American Museum of Asmat Art and you can probably imagine my surprise when I first heard this story. It's surprising that it's not more well known, considering that this happened to a member of the Rockefeller family. I will say, though, if it turns out that Michael is still alive and joined the Asmat people, I wouldn't blame him. They're a fascinating people and their art is incredible!

Best comment I've ever read LMAO
I can't. Michael concealing himself in a tribe and requesting they sell the idea that he was cannibalized is just pure selfishness. The positive-spin on the story could bring so much investment into a neglected country that it makes zero sense at all that no one would try and capitalize from the tale.
@@TheRestedOneit’s so outrageously far fetched that if you even consider it to possibly be anything other than a mindless joke you’re brain dead

"Some even believe we (the Rockefeller family) are part of a secret cabal working against the best interests of the United States, characterizing my family and me as 'internationalists' and of conspiring with others around the world to build a more integrated global political and economic structure - one world, if you will.

Tribes like this have verbal histories they pass down for generations, it’s unlikely they wouldn’t remember and pass down a story that’s important to them. Rockefeller made an impression on them so they’d make sure to pass that story down.
Yes I hate how everyone in the story, even Wendigoon himself, assume that the fact they don't write anything down means that they can not remember things accurately. Your ability to remember things accurately actually decreases when you learn to read.
I have a friend who didn't know how to read for a large portion of his life and he has the whole Quran memorized, even though he doesn't speak Arabic much and isn't educated. I was also reading an interesting book recently about how Indian singers memorize long epics (like hundreds of thousands of lines) when they don't know how to read. I sure couldn't do something like that lol.
Lynn R no but when things are told verbally they get changed slightly with each telling and they get dramatized. When things are written down from the original yelling they stay that way. It is a very well known and well observed occurrence. Sure, this event will remain in the local populations memory for a long time through story telling, but many details will be changed over time and the original story will not be the same as the a possible version in the future. Things like rituals and hymns and holy books as you described are different in this case. Those can be remembered straight from memory word for word because they are always told to the younger generations the same exact way since they are religiously important and are carefully kept concise, unlike everyday stories.
@@yosephbuitrago897 as much as it gets dramatized the fact that Michael Rockefeller died by their tribe's hands is a constant, how he died and when might be lost, but it's good to trust their oral tradition, take Iliad and Odyssey by Homer, both were orally told before being written
@@yosephbuitrago897 a counterpoint is that there’s not much to change about this particular narrative. In verbal tradition of Native Americans many stories are shared and e.g. origin stories could be near identical between two neighboring tribes, but each tribe would have centered themselves in the story even if the same story otherwise appears widely.
Not too sure on the details but I believe the competing Incan ruling families also agreed on the exact same ancestry story except they each believed themselves to be the true descendants.
Whereas in this story, you have a pretty insulated island, beliefs of white spirits, and the jist of it is that a white man appeared and was killed. I don’t see much potential to transform the story, especially with the group nature of indigenous islander that viewed white people as such a strong contrast. So I agree that oral stories tend to change but in this instance I don’t really see how.
@@iago110 I don't know how you could trust the Iliad and the Odyssey honestly, there's outright magic and mythical creatures. It might be inspired by real life events, but it's definitely not a trustworthy source of history.
It's not impossible for someone to integrate into a culture. In the 1800's a Russian anthropologist Nicholas Miklouho-Maclay visited a part of the island and stayed there for over 3 years where he studied the locals, learned their cultures was strongly against colonialist interests. Even in 2018 when his great great grandson visited the same area the people were still happy to see him.

Exactly. Happens all the time.
Didn't a Swedish man somehow seduce his way into becoming the consort to a monarchy there too?

Every story I hear when one guy decides to leave the group by himself to look for help, ends in tragedy for the guy.

That profile pic looks familiar, did you by any chance have it from the city pop compilation called homework cafe by Van Paugam? The the SoundCloud cover for it looks identical. If not where is is from? I have always been wondering where it actually originated from.
I actually lived in Papua New Guinea, and got to go interior with missionaries into the tribes. Of course I was going to tribes that had dropped ways of cannibalism, but I actually got to talk with an old man through a translator about how he had eaten people from neighboring tribes. To have gotten the chance to actually sit on the ground with that man and take in the culture with my own experience was life changing.
Please elaborate. This sounds fascinating.
@@nobodyburgen4594 Gladly, my parents after retiring had decided to go into missionary work, and had one day my freshmen year of high school asked how I felt about living overseas. My first response was “can we live in a rainforest?” And that was my only criteria. (We actually we’re on a fence between being sent to Indonesia or Italy, and I still wanted the former.) My parents worked under MAF in Sentani, Indonesia on the island of Java for a year, and we later moved even further interior into Papua. At my high school there they had this incredible trip planned for the whole school at the end of the year where we would all pack up bags, leave our phones, and move into interior villages for two weeks every year. In the villages we would either help the people with basic tasks, learn about their stories, or even get the chance to help build housing or dig water passageways to keep the runways safe for the airplanes. These areas were quite literally only accessible by plane, or by 3 week treks on feet through the mountains which is what all the tribes people do out there. One of these trips my senior year, we went to I believe the village of Pogapa, where I got to take part in a ceremony called a Bakar Bantu. They kill a pig and then bury a large hole in the ground. They layer it with leaves, vegetables, the pig in it’s entirety, and flat stones that they have set over fires. These rocks which they pick up with their bare hands are well over 100 degrees Fahrenheit, but these people have such incredible and callous hands that it doesn’t even bother them. They bury it with dirt and then hours later, we dig up and feast. I got the chance to eat a pig testicle with my homie lmao. But the whole time in this, I’m just sitting around all these people, who are speaking a language I’m loosely interpreting and have only learned three dozen words of, but despite that they still treated me as if I was family. It’s incredible how welcoming and caring these people are, as well as how willing they were to just share everything they had. My time in those tribes only amounts to about a month and a half of my life, but they were the most influential and life changing points I think I’ll ever experience.

He was enamored with tribal culture when he was a kid. He decided to pursue his passion to a point of becoming a god to them.

Since I'm unaffected by it, I'm choosing to believe he wasn't eaten. Logically, I know better but isn't it more fun to think he joined them?
Another person said it could be both, he could've joined them, died somehow, most likely in a battle against another tribe, then eaten as was the custom when someone was killed. That is what I want to believe. Looks like him in that film. That would be so badass joining a group of cannibals and being taken in as one of them

As someone who grew up in tribal Papua New Guinea (my parents were missionaries there). Most tribes were like this and even some still are. Canabalism is illegal there but a large majority of tribes in PNG are undiscovered or uncontacted either because they are to hard to get to or to hostile to outside groups.

There was a documentary I watched (I wish I could remember the name and hopefully someone knows what I’m talking about) about an American pilot in ww2 who was shot down in the pacific. He ran into a group of headhunters and they brought him back to his village. He didn’t know they were cannibals at first but he watched them slaughter a pig and collect the blood in a bamboo tube. Well I guess later that night they wanted him to lay down on a mat and came in with the same bamboo tube. He was armed with a .45 and after several hours of a literal stare down, they made a move and he shot several of them then ran off into the jungle. He ended up running into a Aussie special forces group who brought him to a larger base with a airfield. He left the airfield in a plane piloted by an Aussie but that one even crashed. Fortunately he survived.

A bit interesting how their whole spirit punishment thing was a self-fulfilling prophecy, even if they weren't actual spirits. They believed it, they did it and then the "white spirits" came in massive metal vehicles with mysterious weapons and possibly disease.

The description of him paints him as a relatively kind person who was accepting of the natives and respected their wishes by not actually taking any of their art.
Yeah, it seems that he was actually quite respectful and nice. And it didn't seem like the natives had an issue with white people coming onto their island at first either. I get people hating rich people, but from what we've seen of this guy, he never used his money to exploit people or anything.

Papua New Guinea is my birthplace and my home. My great grand father was a ‘head hunter’ (cannibal), parts of our village still includes relics of bones and skulls from ceremonious kills from other tribesman or travellers. Cannibalism is very well known in our culture, although most inner cities have become modernised and are some of my the most dangerous places to live in the world, more dangerous than the likes of New Mexico and South Africa.
You must mean Mexico not New Mexico. New Mexico is a relatively safe state in the U.S.

As a Papuan, it's weird hearing these things from the perspective of an outsider. I'm well aware that my ancestors could have been cannibals but I've never heard about this Rockefeller case. It's insane but then again I'm from the smaller outer Islands not the main island of Papua New Guinea, so of course such things wouldn't be common knowledge with my background. Papua New Guinea has become very modernised over the past hundred years but you'd only see this modernization in the capital and towns. There are still hundreds of various tribes and provinces speaking over 800 different languages, many of whom remain isolated. It's this strange mix of modernization and tradition. I'm sorry for rambling, this case has just really made me think.
What's it like in port Moresby and the other cities? It sounds like a fascinating place to live
800 different languages??? i would fucking LOVE to learn about all of these different languages and cultures and such, this kind of stuff draws me in so quickly and easily. 800 different languages is astonishing to me, it just sounds so vast and interesting
I mean eating one or two people a year I think is perfectly normal.

It’s kind of sad that people think you have to be psycho to have interest in stories such as this. Hiding from the truth is a really unproductive way of gaining any knowledge or respecting the people/person that was lost in these types of events. I think it would be a lonely feeling to be lost in such a way, and then just completely forgotten as if that person never existed. There’s something that can be gained from telling these stories, though they might be macabre, it is someone’s destiny. It should be remembered

The timeline of all the events seems very CONFUSING. I am a Papua New Guinean I can historically confirm that we lived through the WW2 so seeing guns, planes, soldiers or even white people in the 60s was nothing new.
First contact was made in the early 1900s by both traders and religious expeditions with the natives and the outside world.
Secondly if its Dutch New Guinea your referring to than its now the known West Papua, which part of Indonesia and not Papua New Guinea as you have stated. We were part of it but was known as the German New Guinea as we were under the colony of Germany before were handed over to the British then later Australia.
Just a little history for you to maybe align research accurately than maybe you can know what actually happen and who actually did what.

Your question to slavery... NO there were no form of slavery
There was what was practise as indentual Labour or "Blackbirding" but it never amounted to slavery and it only lasted lest than 5 years
Not to brag or anything but from histories I've learned of other natives and colonisation, Papua New Guineans were among a few intelligent natives therefore foreigners were very weary around them because we never let them pass without proper scrutiny of any sort. The other factor that made it impossible for slavery was that during that time the land was sparsely populated and that geography alone was very difficult... Therefore even to have access to even the slightest spice or mineral was actually difficult if people were too venture upwards or into the mountainous and thick rainforest slowed alot of movement and expeditions
Last and not the least the natives are very very possessive and territorial, no Tribe or clan cross a boundary or boarder without permission and it is still evident here to this day. This made acquiring of land and humans inaccessible. Therefore only treaties were made but for short periods, nothing lasted for more than 10 years until the colonisers changed during history till we became independent on the 16th of September 1975.
